I was going to participate in the writing contest on Royal Road, but I missed the deadline. I figured I'd be able to submit my story today, but I guess I misread the instruction,s as the last day to submit was actually yesterday.

I’m grateful that I am able to grow and be better than who I was in my past.
That should be the goal of every human being.
It may take time, but it’s possible to be genuinely good as long as you hold yourself accountable.

I'm bad with Grammer. It's never been my best skill, and that wouldn't be so bad if I weren't a writer.
It just feels extra mortifying when writing is your whole thing, yet you leave in a spelling error on your latest tweet. 😔

I'm currently reading the Skulduggery Pleasant series. I'm a sucker for urban fantasy and supernatural stories, but what I really love is how Landy blends together horror and humor so well.
Like, the most HORRIBLE stuff happens to the characters and they often just laugh it off.

So... I have thinning hair, and have started shaving my head to save money on haircuts.
It's efficient, but I'm constantly terrified I miss spots and have like strands of hair left behind that I can't see. 😒

It makes everyone feel good, including you, and it costs you nothing.

Do you have a series/franchises that you like the lore/world of, but you don't like the main content they make? I have a few.
Mine are Overwatch, League of Legends, Five Nights at Freddy's, My Hero Academia, and Star Wars.

I can get a lot more writing done when I'm not listening to anything, but the way my brain is wired, if I don't have some sort of background noise playing, I'll slowly go insane 😵💫

Hindsight's 20/20, especially when it comes to kids' shows. I've been thinking about shows like "Out of Jimmy's Head" and only now realise how insane they were. Then again, I was 9 around the time, so how was I supposed to know theme park mascots being surgeons wasn't a thing?

My first car accident was a doozy. It happened when it was snowing and I didn't know how dangerous snowy roads were until I slipped off the road and flew into someone's backyard. My car was totaled, the back end caved in, narrowly missing my head, but all I got was a cut elbow. 😨

For me, the ending is the goal. You need to have that first in order to build towards something, otherwise your just adding onto a work with no idea where it's going.
Stories are like roadtrips, while the journey may be fun, you still need a destination.

#SFFChat Q2: How do you approach your endings? Do you know the ending in advance, do you decide later and then go back to foreshadow? Is the ending a small or big part of your stories?
No need to answer all these--just talk about your approach however you like. (:

I think the journey and the ending need to work together to make a work great. While an ending or a journey can carry a work by itself but the greater works out there have both a journey and an ending that enhance each other.
#SFFChat Q1: Does the ending make or break a work for you, or does the journey outweigh it?

As for the accomplishment, I'm not sure if this counts, but I basically locked in on my writing craft this year and haven't stopped since.

#SFFChat Intro:
Good morning, everyone and happy new year! I thought it might be fun to save the beginnings for next week and talk instead about ends.
Introduce yourself & share an accomplishment from last year--big or small! Surviving is more than good enough!

Recently I’ve been getting recommended I’ve been getting AI music covers added to my playlists, which while annoying isnt a big deal.
But now I’m paranoid that some songs I’ve been listening too uses AI and now the algorithms think I love the stuff 😵💫

I got an Ink Quill set for Christmas, which is really cool, but the stuff is harder to use than it looks. The ink gets everywhere!!!

Life is too short and too frustrating to constantly pretend to be something your not.
So to hell with labels and whatever else is holding you back from doing what you want. Just do it and be happy.

It's both weird and embarrassing how I do ONE thing a responsible adult is supposed to do, and my ADHD brain throws a "You Got Life Figured Out" party. 😳
