Sometimes I wonder if writing activates some amount of schizophrenia.
This storyline is a side characters storyline. Just something I threw together to help give deeper understanding of my main story. And this moment is a b story in said side characters side story. THEN a side character in the side characters b story merely mentions the existence of another character.
That character has become the most compelling part of my book now.
I am not in control
I drew a comic last night about one of my biggest Walking Dead pet peeves.
Last year I wrote 20k words, and deleted 10k. I'm happy to report that I'm back in the green!!!
Whats crazy is that this is just the beginning of my story. My zombies haven't even shown up yet. LOL 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Mushroom farm 1.2 is doing great. I built this little fire hazard a few days ago to modulate the temperature inside the grow tent between 65 and 75 degrees. Then the lights and heater shut off over night, letting the temps drop to 50, spurring the mycellium to grow mushrooms when it warms up in the morning.
I was worried that the heater would tax the humidity automation, but the way I designed it, it actually evaporates water that collects in the tray that was overflowing. Win win.
I'm trying my hand at poetry. I generally haven't enjoyed much poetry I have read, but I see the benefit for improving my writing. Here's something I wrote the other day. Am I getting it?
Long story short, 4 or 5 years ago Dan Harmon MeToo'd himself with an apology letter to the person he abused, outed himself in its full fucked uppedness. I felt like it warranted discussion, as I thought it set a precedent for those in power who have done wrong to make amends.
4 years later I'm responsible for news of other fucked up shit he did in 2009 that just came out.
Was I wrong to think his apology had value and should be discussed?
Today was a snow day! I stayed home and made my wife @EarthlingLeah lunch, a simple salad with buffalo chickpeas and mushrooms. So good, but I forgot that buffalo sauce is spicy, too much so for Leah, who complimented the meal by saying it was "Technically edible" 🤣
I have a Podcast with my wife where we talk about zombie books, movies and tv shows. I'm also writing a novel based in a zombie apocalypse.
