Hang on? It's been a hot minute since I used blue sky, but didn't there use to be a plus sign button on profile pics of users you didn't follow in the discovery feed?

I don't see it anymore.
I have to go to their profile now to see if I follow yet or not.

Big decision I need to make.
Mr book, do I want it as a branching narrative ie, choose your own adventure style? Or a straight short novel horror.
Should I do the main story start to end, then add branches? Is that ok? Or should I add branches as I go? What works best?

Been trying a bit more lately to practise drawing, so I can try improve even a little.

But I'm so deep in the "anything I do is terrible" phase I get demoralised from even trying because I know I'm going to hate it.

So hard to even just try.
Depression can eat a bag of dicks.

Coming to term with that I may need to rewrite my story from scratch as the location is needing to change design so much it's going to chuck out most of what I wave written. Now I need to decide, am I going to try keep it a choose your own adventure style or just go for a light novel.

Tried using Minecraft to build a model of the setting of my book, as I figured having a visual aid to deem what works would help. But the more I built the more I realised it's not going to work, and I need to do some proper research on mediaeval buildings.

With Meta gearing up to flood Facebook and Instagram with AI bot users to try artificially inject life into their dying platforms, especially since it's mostly going to be gen AI posts, I hope there's a mass exodus. I'm planning on dropping back to just family interaction only, and messenger.

Merry Xmas from Australia, to whoever sees this.

I hope your holiday season goes well.

Depression is stupid.

Brain, im just driving to get some petrol in the car after dropping the kids at school.

I have some nice music playing from the CD we waited 2 weeks to show up, & im driving through a nice part of the park.

Why TF do i need to feel really sad right now?
Like can you not?

Actually tried to do a small bit of drawing today.

Didn't go great.
While I can sketch and lay out a basic manga style head shape and place eyes, nose, and mouth in about the right places.

It all comes undone when I get to hair.

Gonna try find some head blanks and print out a bunch to practice

I am finding learning to draw an incredibly difficult demoralising task. I want to draw, but whenever I try to do so, the inspiration never comes, I don't know what to draw. And on the rare occasions I do, I bloody hate what my best is, and it makes the next attempt that much harder.

While it's great that bsky doesn't refresh the moment my timeline loads makings posts I saw vanish. But it's got 2 issues twitter has.
1. No edit button.
2. I have to scroll posts chronological backwards as it starts me somewhat up to date.

Trying out this app, lots of creators I follow on twitter are making them here, so why not.

So far my twitter feed is a lot better, but will see how the algorithm improves as I use this more.
