i am still working on the book, im just at a stage where daily updates were all "yep still writing" and that was getting boring. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #steampunk #southerngothic #writing #robots

this chapter, i'm just editing from the older draft. easier on me for now. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #robots #steampunk #southerngothic

oh and btw, DAVYxJONES wins Next Fest

lots more writing today, mushy stuff because i'm currently depressed about my lack of romance in my life. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #southerngothic #robots

whenever i have a slow day, i have writers block. when i have a busy day, i have lots of ideas (that i proceed to forget). drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #southerngothic #robots

today i learned that bettas were introduced to western civilization in the 19th century, so it would be historically accurate sneaking bettas into my fantasy book with steampunk robots in it. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #southerngothic

after much sweat and blood and tears, i've finally beat FLY'N and its my favorite platformer despite me being awful at it, i love dyer he's such a lil cutie and big jerk, they don't make games like this anymore but they really should. 10/10, PLAY IT

Clash: Robot Detective is in the #itchio Bundle for Ukranian Hospitals (alongside 253 other works)! itch.io/b/2613/bundl...

so just a reminder when you read about Eyre crying into Verily Cost's shoulder, I co-opted her as my self-insert OC and Verily is played in my head by Vincent Price. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #southerngothic #robots

more Cowboix Hevvven, a surprisingly accurate portrayal of a lot of roadside Texas diners #MeowWolf #RadioTave

tried somewhere new today (holy crap, the malarkey sandwich is extremely good, best museum food ever) #MeowWolf #RadioTave

going through my backlog i see that i started several games 10-15 years ago but never finished them, including games that i desperately wanted to play but didnt have a strong enough computer for them, so i should work on that in spare time

upon finishing another's crab treasure new game+ and glaciered demo, i will say that if i had a nickel for every amazing sea critter soulslike then i'd have ten cents, which isnt a lot but its weird that its happened twice.

the Christmas chapter will need to be extended yet again but that is a problem for future me yet again. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #robots #steampunk #southerngothic #writing

no excuse not to write for awhile since its summer break. :-) drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #southerngothic #robots

just one more day of work until i get a nice long break and can do some nice long writing sessions. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #southerngothic #robots

its May and i'm writing a Christmas chapter, this feels weird. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #robots #steampunk #southerngothic

now that Clash is on consoles I'm actually kind of panicking because a whole new set of people are discovering it and that's a lot for me to cope with in both good and worrying ways. doesn't help that its almost summer break after my first year of teaching and my emotions are weird right now.

Can't copy-paste this next section because it was a placeholder in the old draft. The problem past me avoided has caught up to present me. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #steampunk #southerngothic #robots #writing

i gave up and copy-pasted from Second London draft to Oleander Isle draft. i'm lazy. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #southerngothic #robots

its so weird, knowing i have certain plot points that i've written before but i dont know how to rewrite them drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #southerngothic

Tweet link because i'm lazy but Clash: Robot Detective is now available on consoles thanks to Penguin Pop Games! x.com/PenguinPopGa...

i just remembered that this is a first draft all over again, so i can get away with saying "they did things" for parts i'm stuck on and rewrite them later. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #robots #writing #steampunk #southerngothic

walking up and down the bishop's palace staircase in my regency-esque tea gown made me feel prettier than i have in a very long time.

Galveston dolphins are the best dolphins

The tea party yesterday got me doing some writing. So did the ominous storm on the horizon. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #robots #steampunk #southerngothic

i tried to make a friend today (from a respectful distance, of course), but i don't think he liked me very much. :-(

there, got some writing done. hopefully i'm back to it, last week was a struggle. i blame oblivion remaster. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #robots #steampunk #southerngothic

the reason okapis are domesticated transport animals in this book is 1.) because they were discovered by the Western world in the late 1800s (so they fit the time period/vibe) and 2.) because. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #southerngothic #robots

my general health relapsed today but at least i wrote two paragraphs. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #robots #steampunk #southerngothic

i think i feel better? healthy enough and awake enough to write a little, anyway. we'll see how i am tomorrow (family member who had this illness said day 3 was worst day). drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #southerngothic #robots

and honestly, the rest of the pictures weren't that good, but needless to say now that a week has passed i decided that i did enjoy said festival and will probably go back next year. :-)

Bye the way, this is Clarence-On-Clearance

almost made it to summer without getting sick. whoops.

pinterest recommended me a tumblr post about writing early drafts in comic sans for productivity boosts, im trying it but i think it works better if you are not working full time and also if you are young. oh well. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #southerngothic

the festival i went to on saturday kinda killed my writing hype (which is sad) but i'm dragging it on back myself (which is glad) drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #southerngothic #robots

the festival i went to yesterday had been advertising a community car show for months and asking for participants. ended up being three cars and a train. but you know what, those three cars and train were really neat.

i changed my outfit yet again and all the anxiety went away, so I guess it was just the fit throwing me off.

i've been so excited for this steampunk event for months now its the day of and i'm terrified

i really should have tried out my updated steampunk fit way earlier than the morning of the steampunk festival because now i have self esteem issues over my dress.

i was making good progress but then one of my dogs pushed my mouse away so i think i need to pay attention to them now. drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #fantasy #southerngothic #robots

i was reading a steampunk book just now where the main character's name is the same as the one in my steampunk book, so another name change is in order. My main character, Arabella Harlowe, is now named Madge Delagney.

i put the automatons in the story earlier this draft drone-garden-studios.itch.io/the-automato... #writing #steampunk #victorian #fantasy #robots

my tank is cycled and ready to go, turns out petco had an alien betta on clearance, so i now have an alien betta. his name is clarence-on-clearance.
