am I crazy or does @elvisthealien.bsky.social look like the evil king from ella enchanted?

Even if this novel doesn't turn into anything, I'm proud of myself for getting this far. I've never finished one of my writing projects before, let alone edited something that I have finished. It's a new experience for me, and it's fun (when I'm not thinking about how much I suck)

Turns out editing the second draft is 1000x more difficult and time-consuming than writing the first draft. I'm finding out I made a billion mistakes, and correcting them all while keeping track of all my changes is pretty rough. I'm hoping the third pass through will be primarily just polishing.

The amount of bigotry against trans and nonbinary people is so disturbing and disheartening. An absurd fraction of the world severely lacks empathy.

Had to erase an entire chapter today 😪 is this what growth feels like? (Sucks)

surpassed 101,000 words, and I'm 13 chapters into editing the 50

I've grown an immense appreciation for anyone who has ever written a book and taken it seriously, ever. This shit is so hard and SOOOO time-consuming.

this is 99% of the replies on twitter

Twitter has never been worse, I'm not kidding

wow, this sucks

Was gonna record, and then the 40 kids around the neighborhood decided to convene next door and have a scream-off with many expletives. This will go on for hours.

The Ethan bradberry reference in the new @elvisthealien.bsky.social vid caught me so off guard 😂😂

Editing my novel is revealing a billion mistakes I made the first time through. When I'm done editing it, I'm sure I'll find another billion on my third read. 🙃 Oi vey

Took me way too long to realize I prefer coffee without sugar

Counting Petals

The Netflix DMC show using Limp Bizkit for the intro music 🤣

The first draft of my book is finished. 94,000 words. Editing begins tomorrow.

One more chapter left 😳. We finish this thing tomorrow, and then the fun ends and the real work begins.

Day 4: @elvisthealien.bsky.social continues to be my welcome screen after booting up my tv, for reasons unbeknownst to us all 🤣

I think I'm 2 chapters from finishing 😳

Jason Bateman's THE CRAB from Thunder Force will be returning in Avengers Doomsday

Reached 90,000 words. Yall probably thought I gave up. Not yet 😁

And that’s on that 😌

Fell off the horse for a bit, but I managed to write 1k words today. I'll definitely have this done before GRRM finishes Winds of Winter. That I can promise.

a haunted house, but it's just a bunch of zombies popping out and asking "how's your writing coming along?" "what's your book about?" "what if this writing thing doesn't work out?"

Thanks, youtube. I needed this.

The other website is pretty much done

I've reached the final 3-5 chapters of my book, and I'm having a lot more trouble than I expected. I think it's because I so desperately want the payoff to be good that I'm wracking my brain like Dr Strange trying to think of the best scenario out of the countless potential scenarios 😵‍💫

There are certain words that enter the cultural zeitgeist that end up getting used ad nauseum, like "demure" and "diabolical", and it's a painful reminder that most people don't read anymore.

Reached 80,000 words 😁

A ridiculous little fan art animation piece for the glorious @elvisthealien.bsky.social. His ship is powered by the elusive element, NicCageium. Hope you like this....thing...Elvis lol #ElvisTheAlien #fanart #animation #youtuber #PraiseCastiel #NicholasCage

RIP David Lynch. One the greatest to ever do it.

I hope this time next year I can call myself an author

Reached 70,000 words in my novel :) If I keep this up, I should have my first draft done in a little over a month.

I love this!! My wife loves it too 🥰 thank you!!💚

New years resolutions: -Finish my first book -Finish the Bloodborne graphic novel -Make fewer but better videos

I'm reading a Loki comic, and in it, he wears a shirt that says, "Low Key"........ 💀

visited Twitter again, instant regret

It's such a shame Stalker 2 is so buggy bc it's such a cool game. I ran into a game breaking bug and can't fix it bc I'm on Xbox :(

a short thread of Nicolas Cage resembling various philosophers 1. Spinoza

now, THIS is Superman. Can't believe I'm excited about a Superman movie.

welcome back, Yamcha

Life would be pretty great if every little random body pain wasn't also accompanied by the threat of cancer (with the added shit cherry of existing under American healthcare)

It took me way too long to start listening to jazz

the best channel on YouTube uploaded again 🥰

I love books, movies, games, the smell of coffee beans, old tattooed barber dudes with curly mustaches, and that feeling you get when you do something productive
