Sup nerds? Depression's been eating me alive and my therapist has finally convinced me that ADHD is probably the underlying issue, so now I gotta unpack all this shit I had NEATLY ON MY MENTAL SHELF GODDESS DAMN IT.

starting prep work on Holy Nonsense 2020. Aiming for a November release for the lulz.

If you need more material to fill gaps or something, give me prompts. I'm in a writing mood but have nowhere to focus that energy currently.

Also, this seems to be starting off as the year of "oh, everything I thought was wrong with me isn't, and the main problem is something else. Time to rethink my entire life". I've got multiple things like that myself. Good luck in getting it dealt with!

Magic as the art of being open to weird shit happening around you is something I'd like to get more of in this edition and have absolutely nothing for right now. I can cite some examples of the phenomenon but I just don't have a coherent narrative.

I think I might have something stashed away.

I actually have a couple quick anecdotes for this. I think the best one is the More Water Than You Really Wanted Incident. Give me some time to frame them, I can get something put together.
"I am that worst of all type of criminal...I cannot bring myself to do what you tell me, because you told me."

There's over 100 of us in this meat-suit. You'd think it runs like a ship, but it's more like a hundred and ten angry ghosts having an old-school QuakeWorld tournament, three people desperately trying to make sure the gamers don't go hungry or soil themselves, and the Facilities manager weeping in the corner as the garbage piles high.

Given that date, will you want fresh material?   :lulz:

I'm always here for new stuff! Can't promise on a given day I'll have the energy or things will click properly, but I'm doing my best.

That's a different thing than what I was describing but I am ALSO interested in this.

No so different.  Let me dig up my notes on the box at home and zap you a rough draft.

ETA:  You take care of you.  This can wait until you're ready.  I'm just going to write it sooner rather than later, is all.

Yeah, my story is definitely "Magic is sometimes bad for you". It's kind of like Carrie, but with coffee instead of blood and fire.

First draft written now, I'm going to get angry at it for a couple days then totally rewrite it. It's pretty boring prose right now except for the use of a different synonym for "device" EVERY SINGLE TIME, which I'm proud of.

That you be

When I get time I will put my noodle to this "magic" business folks get so aon about.

Here's how I feel.

I'm contained.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Here's a question you've never asked:

How do people have sex in microgravity? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_in_space


And the answer is:

VELCRO - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2suit

Doesn't have to be used in microgravity, just saying.

I'm much more intrigued by the possibility of masturbating in space and floating the sperm bubble out of the airlock. That gotta be a form of immortality.
