  • I think it’s because it’s an old story that I wrote in 2021-22 and I edited/reviewed it so many times that I just can’t motivate myself to edit it on my own again. It would be a lot easier if I got someone that followed me through the process because it would feel like I’m not entering the echo chamber again, but maybe that part will begin next month (hopefully!)


  • Well, summer is hardcore SUCKING here (been raining for like 12 days out of the last 15…), so I got the chance to write a bit more.

    Done this month:

    • Translation of ALXD’s Solarpunk Seed Library to Italian (also the reason why I had to delay this update for a few days)
    • Finally started the Kanteletar novel! Only three chapters in so far, and only in Italian
    • After reading mostly fiction for six months, I read an essay (Work by Andrea Komlosy) and damn, it felt so refreshing!

    To be done in July:

    • Finish the first Kanteletar story and translate it to English
    • Edit that god-forsaken fantasy I’ve been postponing for… I don’t want to count the months even, lmao
    • I’ve had another cool idea for the Meteorina, so maybe sketch that down too?




  • Keep us posted if you find something cool among the 60s sofi! I’m very interested in discussing those ideas, but often the 70y old American English makes it harder for me to read smoothly. I tried reading A Canticle for Leibowitz this last month and despite the cool concept (that was what made me read it), I’ve been very unimpressed by the actual reading experience.

    As for the block, I can 400% guarantee it will end as soon as your stressful patch ends, so best of luck for that!


  • Tough month because I’ve been swamped with a number of things, but here’s a bit of progress:

    • Took part in a Solarpunk Game Jam as a writer with an Indonesian team, for which I wrote ~25k words of dialogues on Inky. Eventually our devs didn’t manage to make the game playable by the deadline, but it was a fun experience and I’ve learned how to do branched dialogues and storylines
    • Sketched a new setting, perhaps to be used in the future or lent to someone who needs it. It’s a world with varying tides, so that “land” isn’t defined and stable and maps can’t be drawn.
    • Wrote a ~1k word short story on another author’s setting

    June is going to be a lot more free, so I’m going to try and tackle these things:

    • That one famous editing for the fantasy book I’ve postponed for the last… three monts 😵
    • Finish outlining the Kanteletar Library stories (five in total) and maybe write one of them
    • One more Meteorina? I have an idea about end-of-century Venice built on top of the current skyline, with bridges and catwalks on top of bridges, to deal with the risen sea levels… But I still need a plot so let’s see!
