Hail and well met, and also welcome; welcome to the 11th writing club update. Fun fact about the number 11: it’s only the tenth positive palindromic number, and it will be 11 more months before we encounter our next one (22). Wow.
The weather here has been exceptionally rainy lately, and so perfect for weeding, editing, and savouring moments over hot cups of ginger tea.
I hope you are all safe and that your ginger and writing projects remain free of mold.
Speaking of writing, this is a post about writing. And these are our writers:
Brave scrivenauts, out on the shoals of imagination. Wading through the pools of doubt, and mucking about in the mud of enlightenment. Probably talking with the crabs or clams of metaphor or simile or something, too…
As always dear passerby you’re welcome to join us for as long or short as you like – simply share what you’re working on and your goal for the next month, and I’ll add you to our list of illustrious weirdos.
Your updates are always so inspiring! I can’t imagine writing ~25 000 words of dialogue and just moving on because of factors outside of you control. 💀 But I admire your outlook–it’s not a waste if you got something out of it, like experience with Inky. Btw have you ever used Twines? It’s more appropriate for making standalone adventure games than dialogue trees, but I feel like every writer should spend at least an hour playing around with it, just to see what’s possible using just their words.
Never heard of that, but I’ll make sure to check it out! I liked this different approach to storytelling, and I’ll definitely come back to it in the future… as soon as the frustration dies out! 😂
