rynling- I wrote the second, third, and fourth stories of my Ghost Stories zine.
- I edited and posted Chapter Twelve of The Legend of the Princess. After I posted it on AO3, I put it through two more edits, both of which were highly necessary. This week I need to figure out a way to get a chapter in better condition before I post it.
- I emailed Lightsintheskye to ask about commissioning an illustration for the narrative arc I just finished, which took a lot of courage. No one is reading this stupid story, and no one cares if it updates, and probably most people see these illustrations as delusional narcissism on my part, but I managed to make a firm decision that I DO NOT CARE.
- I'm still editing Claws and Lace. I think at this point I could write an entire fucking MFA thesis about what this process has entailed, it's getting kind of ridiculous.
- I made one post to my professional blog and one post to my video game blog. When I linked to these posts on Twitter, people liked them, which was nice I guess. I've been trying to be more active on Twitter lately, and it's difficult. The platform has never really worked for me, but what can you do?
- A friend of a colleague is helping to edit a textbook about video games commissioned by Routledge. She got in touch with me to ask if I would contribute roughly 7,000 words about Final Fantasy, and I said yes because OF COURSE I DID. I sent a rough precis of the content to her yesterday morning so that she can send it along to the publisher. I then went out and drank almost an entire pitcher's worth of mimosas because this sequence of events is most definitely outside of my comfort zone.
- Against my better judgment I posted two of the Human Bowser character designs I've been messing around with in Photoshop, here and here. I also posted a rough design for Peach.

Date: 2017-09-24 04:52 pm (UTC)I don't have to submit the Final Fantasy essay until the end of December. It's not a priority right now, but I might contact you later and ask for your permission to quote from Moogle University. You should totally feel free to say no, but please think about it, okay?
