I don't have to write, I'm just taking it easy, I'm down to about 4 pages a day, you know, just taking it one step at a time. I can quit whenever I want, really. You're the one with the problem.

I write for the love of writing, but I have also started writing for money. I need to survive this inflation somehow.
Passion and penny!

Yeah, I am cooked or not cooked based off this novel. I will live and die by this. As you know, vampires can't work normal jobs.
Maybe try looking for night shifts? We're hiring night guards, y'know...

Because my least favorite part of Role Playing was reading the other person's responses. I recognized that the actual thinking and writing were the parts i enjoyed.

So i left co-op to play single player.

Also, I've wanted to game design since i was in middle school, but i have long since realized that i don't have the patience to learn to code. But there are stories that i keep coming back to, ones that i wanna tell.

Magic wielding cyborgs fighting for the fate of humanity against cosmic threats
Horny college martial artists putting their pride and bodies on the lines
Forbidden romances between superheroes and villains
A desperate struggle to turn a militia into an army and open the magical gateway that will upset a continent's balance

I wanna make my characters do and say and think cool things and write the books i was looking for in undergrad

I searched for specific [Genre] combination. Turns out, there weren’t many of them.(or maybe I just suck at Google-Fu). So I started making one myself.

Then it turned out to be fun, cause I keep getting ideas that makes me “What?! They(my characters) are like that?!” As if I’m actually just a reader finally reading that Genre I searched for.
