Halfway done with this realistic art—she’s evolving into something beyond human. The tentacles are only the beginning. Can’t wait to show you the final result

Someone left a very nice ("Canada Nice") message about of the last poems I posted, Carnival Rations. It is so hard to get feedback when every other person it out there offering this or that perspective, and there is nothing wrong with that, but I think even regular readers are shaded in such a way they feel compelled not to comment.

So. I had a game listed as a PHILDD game, which of course meant I liked it enough to settle for it not being a very out of reach modern game. I looked at the script I was writing scenes in and there were some pretty great events.

Then I looked at how many pages one of the big setpiece events was.

Ten.

At a minute per page, that is not a cutscene, that is 1⁄10 of a movie. And there was no way to cut it down.

So thanks to #Fountain format and #FadeIn, I was able to start converting it all into a novel instead. I #AmWriting something kind of novel and exciting: a novel couched in the language of video games.

It's not the first I've novelized a video game. I did that for Final Fantasy. And I've also done a bit on one where it was a video game. But never without a genre-aware player.

I'm going to enjoy this. The biggest problem, I think, is establishing in the first few pages what I'm doing. But that feels like a fun challenge. :)

#PennedPossibilities 699 — Do any of your characters harbor jealousy or bitter feelings towards others in their friend group(s)?

Thankfully, the answer is a resounding /no/. They're all chooms, just wanting the best for each other. The majority of the "main cast" are in two major gangs located in Ethera (which is a bustling city on Planet Citune). There isn't any jealousy or pettiness, and no one's harboring any ill will towards the others.

Another 2350 words on Intent Magic, and I'm past the climax! All downhill from here, and I hope to finish it up in a day or two.
Come see us tomorrow at Winston Salem Pride, and be safe if you are attending the #NoKings protest! Stay peaceful!

First full manuscript rejection. Took a few days before I was ready to do this one.

Excerpt from THE LAST PHONE BOOTH IN MANHATTAN

OH NO

Another somber retrospective
through rose colored lenses
so we can hold hands and pretend
all the bs we once endured
was nothing more
than colorful anecdotes
that built character

This memory anesthesia
of whitewashed history
is why we keep repeating
our same dumb mistakes
