Pooh Bear is "helping"

Pooh Bear is a 15.5-year-old schnoodle. She is fluffy and white with cute, floppy ears.

What am I doing on Thanksgiving? Working on my game, Shattered Reminiscence.

The narrative of Act 6 will be finished today come hell or high water.

Then I will cook.

Tomorrow, the various Epilogues. (Several of these due to branching path narrative.)

My copy of @realgdt.bsky.social 's screenplay came in and it's a fabulous piece of physical media! Can't wait to read through it all 🧡

2500 words written. Now about 76K words total.

This is where I left off today.

Jala is about 40% through with writing the final Act of her textventure game, Shattered Reminiscence

One more solid writing session and Act 5 will be complete!

Jala is most of the way done with Act 5.

Saw Autumn Kings, Vana and Fame On Fire. I picked up tix to this show for Fame On Fire specifically and they did not disappoint, this was a fantastic performance. They lost their old guitarist but the new one is even better 🔥

Just in case any of y'all doubted me when I said that @realgdt.bsky.social 's #Frankenstein is currently my entire ass personality - here it is playing again while I work. I haven't watched a movie this many times back to back since I was a kid.

Frankenstein plays on Jala's iPad while she works.

Good morning folks. I commenced writing Act 5 (of 6 + Epilogue) of Shattered Reminiscence.

I had to pry myself away rather reluctantly for the usual morning business; I was midway through scripting a very harrowing sequence.

Please enjoy the tonal whiplash of this peaceful and gorgeous sunrise.
