Day 42 (1:15) Of Rewriting My Novel

Hi, I'm back. I'm finally writing consistently again. I'm now finally writing my alternate story: It Will Hurt (And There Will Be No Fire.) More updates to come.

Day 27 (36 in base 7) of re-writing my novel

I started Part Three today. Progress still in progress.

Part Three will be particularly hard to write because of how loosey-goosey it is right now, but I'm nailing the plan down. At least the first several thousand words should be planned-out, for now. This part may be very long, like 30-40,000 words.

But it starts off in a particularly dark place. Spoilers ahead, for anyone who cares.

Part Three begins with Iziser reconsidering why he ever trusted Lozerief to begin with, and why she would turn on them. He initially believes its his fault. He also jogs a memory from being back in the only place he ever called "home," and he realizes Lozerief was fighting for him on the sidelines all the while. Why, now, would she go and take his magic?

But Lozerief comes around out of necessity in the end of Part Three. Will I use Lozerief to answer every question? Definitely not, there's still one more Part! And she doesn't have all the answers, only most of them. Including some of the biggest ones that she keeps hidden away from everyone...

Hi there, Ahmed,

While I have no money to give, I can definitely share your story in the hopes that it reaches somebody who does. Take care of yourself and your family as best as you can, and I wish you the best.

What’s the quote from the end of animal farm? Hmm…

As of Jan 21st, 2025, a full copy of the constitution is no longer available on whitehouse.gov. I feel like this is a good time to remind everyone that the biggest threat to authoritarianism and facism is a well educated and informed population. Inform yourself and fight.

a copy of the document can still be found on the archives website. I think now is probably a good time to read it if you haven't and download it, incase it is erased from here as well.

Another OC Questionnaire

An open tag from @authorcoledipalo.

This time, I'm doing this with the four most integral Heroes: Izi, Hota, Tagif, and Lozef:

Would you team up with your worst enemy if it was your only option?

Izi: It depends on what, I think. I promised Vimir I would make the train tickets free, so I can't really team up with the train company to make that happen. But to save Meiste? Obviously if there's no better choice, I'd do anything to save our world.

Hota: Izi's too trusting. I make very few enemies, and I keep my closest friends near my chest. If I've decided I can't trust you, I will never decide to trust you again.

Lozef: Regrettably, I'm more like Izi on this one. I've had to swallow my pride twice and admit that I'm wrong in order to do what's right. That's what's most important, anyways.

Tagif: Hota's got the right idea. I pound my enemies into the dust!

What is your pet peeve?

Izi: Hota always tells me I don't handle people questioning my authority very well, and they're right about that.

Hota: Izi says I am such a good planner that I can't stand when there isn't a plan, mostly emphasizing that I'm not flexible enough sometimes. Izi's gung-ho attude is just as anxiety-inducing as it is refreshing.

Lozef: Ok, doing shit that pertains to me without asking first is my biggest pet peeve. It's usually pretty small-like Izi changing the windows in the chapel. I swapped them for a reason! Don't swap them back!

Tagif: I don't care about authority, I care about expertise. Like, you're going to explain to me how to to build a chestplate with bulit-in holographic computer screens? Nobody's done that, yet, but Hota and I have butted heads over political expertise.

If a monster asked you your worst nightmare what would you tell it and why?

Izi: Well, it's gotta be believable, but not something you're actually scared of, right? Otherwise the monster will terrify the living daylight out of you. So, I guess I would say something like beetles.

Hota: I think it depends on whether or not I know what this monster is capable of. If it's Tev? I'd be honest: the death of Izi-or Tagif or Lozef-would kill me mentally, I think. If it's an sort-of evil Meiste? Beetles.

Lozef: No point in lying to the damn thing, I can take it. Losing my magic is my biggest nightmare, and I grapple with how Dolgof and Pagjom must've felt every day. My second-biggest is if something happened to Tev.

Tagif: My biggest nightmare is if Heja'umak thinks I'm weird or something. I can live with that, but it would hurt a lot. I guess I'm fortunate that my biggest nightmare is just wondering if my crush likes me back?

Open tag for anyone interested!

Nah that’s a changeling that’s trying to steal your car. I’d say either let the poor thing have it, take them to a Burger King and buy them an order of fries to try and get them to be your friend, or dump them on the street.

You’re driving home alone in the dead of night, and you see a child in the middle of the night. Feeling sympathetic, you offer to drive them to the police station to find their parents, only you find out that thing that you picked up isn’t just a child…

Day 30 (42 in base 7) of rewriting my novel

Today I explored Tolftorrijv and Zenée. Both are very important places in Zenestian history, as they linguistically diverged from Ir Nouzonif in radically different ways. Culturally, while they're still pretty similar, the linguistic differences instigated a large, cultural divide which broke out into civil war.

Tolftorrijv (language unnamed), Zãth, and Zenée are all members of the Western Zenestian languages, characterized by nasal vowels and round, front vowels as well as an increasingly analytical grammar (contrasting with the fusional grammar of Ipol.)

This is so cute! Kara has my brain rotting out of my skull.

They've got the power of love and anime on their side!
