I talked to a friend today and it REALLY helped.
We spent like half an hour discussing the plot and I ended up deciding on a few things after our conversation. Also, she made a curious request: that I repeat a phrase or an emotion in certain specific moments (I can't talk about what those moments are, big spoiler...). I think it made me stumble into some hidden treasure, but what this treasure is, I'm yet to know...
Can't believe there's actually a finished version of the game! I'm so happy. Thank you so much.
@cookies-hetaoni thanks for your hard work on this, we had a blast
The best movies I ever saw in theaters were Hobbit 1 and 2. I couldn't watch the final movie because... well... spoilers. I had already read the book and I hated the ending...
Best songs ever: I See Fire and Misty Mountains. I got so many chills when listening to them the first time. Priceless
Martin is famous for his “gardening” approach to plot development. He doesn’t want to plot things out and build a fixed plot, he wants to imagine what all the characters are getting up to and let all of that together grow into something organically. It’s a nice sentiment, it just doesn’t work well with what he was doing.

Really interesting. I never thought about what I did was "gardening". Fascinating. I think the difference is, I do know exactly how I want to end, I do have strong ideas on the vibe and what happens. But I need time figuring out the in-betweens; how each character will act and the repercussions.
That's why I can spend years upon years planning a book. The planning bit is the most important part...
...I'm having trouble finding the right verse? Because this person is going on and on about Bible verses on how to be a good wife for her husband, but for some reason, I can't find the verses about being a good husband to your husband. is there a Bible-Part 2 I didn't see/buy in the bookstore?
Ok just figured it out: I'm hearing Tchaikovsky from now on
Omg I'm here wanting to cry. Why? Because I'm hearing lo-fi & eating nutella. Somehow that's cry-inducing to me now.
And you can't even say that it must be 'that time of the month' cuz I'm not a woman, technically. What's wrong with me. WHY does lo-fi makes me want to cry. What do I even hear if not lo-fi to relax?? I tried 3daysgrace, for hours, then Bullet for my Valentine, then back to 3daysgrace, now I got no idea what to listen to. Also, I have to work, so I can't just go home and bury myself in a tower of blankets like I'm rebuilding Babel.
Never gonna hear lo-fi again.
(Make a bet on how long it takes for me to listen to it again.)
Oooh things are going good.
I'm rereading all the book again (cuz of course) and I'm picking up all those little big problems. It's headache-inducing, but I'm satisfied in finally seeing my book flow better with all those changes. Way better.
I changed a lot of stuff...
As for the last chapters, nope, I noped. I simply can't write them down right now. They're too emotional. I think I'll manage... in a month?? Maybe??
And I'm still hoping to launch it in September...
Fingers crossed <3
hahahaha omg I'm 1) with sprinkles of 2)
There are two types of writers:
1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'
2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'
