2019 Weekly Writing Log, Part 2
- I sent off my essay on Ganondorf to Games and Culture. I’ve been working on this for so long that it was difficult to let go of, but I think it’s just about as good as it’s ever going to be. Keep your fingers crossed that it doesn’t end up in the hands of shitty straight male editor.
- I sent the PDF of my Haunted Haiku zine off to the printer. I also designed a bookmark and a promotional postcard, which I’m printing with another service.
- I’m putting together a zine for my “Video Games and Japan” class featuring student work. This past week I formatted the text, and this coming week I’ll edit and insert the images.
- I got started on the third and fourth chapters of Malice, as well as the third story in A Hero’s Inventory.
- I also got started on two professional book reviews.
- I was invited to give a talk as part of a panel at a small local gaming convention, and I gave a short presentation on video game translation and localization. This should have been easy and fun, but I was already running on fumes and ended up crying a lot (in private, of course). It’s difficult to explain how being mentally exhausted can be physically painful, but my god it is. Still, the event went well, I think.

I need this on a damn shirt, because yeah. Like I'm going out to the movies today with my boyfriend and one of his friends and I'm trying not to have a mental breakdown over something that should be fun, because I was given less than 24 hours notice on it being a thing. Running on fumes sucks. It's like your low battery warning has popped up and you can't find an outlet to plug yourself into to recharge.
Also, awesome progress all around!!! I really want to read your Ganondorf essay when it comes out :D
