@JonathanKonopka
forgot to say, but my current project is being made into a demo game by Ritual Games. If all goes well, it'll eventually become a full game, using my music and audio design. My original story of the game, Aqua Cats, was reworked by our producer. I am using up almost all my spare time off my full-time job for Aqua Cats, so I just don't have time for experimental literature for now.
Nevertheless, thanks to everyone! I will be back someday, tho!
this meeting went better than expected, lasted two hours. we might be getting a design for toys for our characters sooner or later! if all goes well, I may travel to various cons to advertise the project, sell toys and comic books and things, and see where it leads! going to USA again for PAX Seattle is also of interest, there's so many more conventions in USA than Canada, but I will admit I'm a bit worried about ICE
XD
my recent meeting with the producer alongside my animator friend went well, a fourth member may join soon, one who always wanted to make a web-based browser game!
Since I am busy making the SFX for the game, I tend to become burnt out, and can't really work on my literature very much. I will mostly do easier writing, such as expanding my guide on mixing and mastering, something I totally forgot about.
It's much easier explaining audio engineering than writing my fantasy stories, oddly enough!
@NobleScribe oof, you're butthurt XD
@JonathanKonopka well I had the unfortunate experience of reading your work. I noticed many telltale signs and patterns of ai writing. I left some comments to help you out. My advice - use AI for your art and try to write without it. Then submit your work to the ai for editing and hand correct the mistakes. Or maybe take a class idk. Good luck bro. I’ll be surprised if you hit 1k like my first novel did in 2 months.
Secondly, if you do read it, you’ll see very quickly that it’s hand written. Heck you’ll see that by the description alone
OK, back from Vancouver, my dad's anginagraphy went well (which isn't a surgery, I had misinterpreted it). His cancer stats have also decreased. Overall, he should be alive for at least several more years, which is nice.
I am also returning to work next week, finally got a job to put me on forklift, skidsteer and, next month, on excavator. With my finances soon to be stable, I should be able to focus on writing more consistently. I am also hoping to continue audio SFX and music for my friend's animation project.
@AM-Prabeswar thanks! My dad's getting better so that's nice. Funnily enough, my new workplace has not put me on excavator yet, not have their trained me on forklift or skidsteer XD I think they were just trying to hire me anyway they could, seeing as I'm the only one doing most manual labour. Lifting pickup truck rims, radiators, and motors can be hard on the body, but oh well, still a job. If you're from the bottom, you stay there XD
@JonathanKonopka Congrats on the new job! I'm sorry to hear about your dad's cancer, but glad to hear his lab results are promising. Best wishes for him and your new work (and good luck on your projects, of course)!
OK, I'm gonna start re-posting my older stories in the coming months. I feel I have reached a point in my writing where I cannot learn any more, nor can I improve anything anywhere. since I've reached the climax of my writing abilities, I feel I can edit my older works one last time, and from there, I will appreciate what skills remain and make do with what little I have.
@Clockworks_Drag0n you're welcome! I took my stories off as I thought nobody was reading them, so wondered if i was just spamming Wattpad. I also wanted to feel free to edit them a bit. I've since concluded to have longer chapters, around three to five thousand words, which I feel is my preferred length. Sorry to hear of your issues! I never finished my college, I was never a good student XD wishing you the best vibes as you work through higher education! I couldn't do it myself, but if you can read my stories, you can get through college! Glad to hear I can have a positive impact! I don't think I've ever had more than one temporary reader, but I will definitely keep my stories around. I just wanna edit them some more, rework them into a more thorough product. I've been a bit busy working on my music and a short story contest. I will also be posting in substack (eventually) as I heard it's the best place to post stories. thanks again!
@SuperHaxor i hope so!
@JonathanKonopka don’t say that! You might still improve in ways that are less noticeable
OK, finished updating chapters 1+2 for Exuvia Initiative, hopefully I cleared things up well enough. I will continued writing within a few days
oops, I noticed a mistake. In Chapter 2 of the Exuvia Initiative, I described Ollorix's forehead being split by a mattock, though I meant shinbone. I have since fixed this mistake.
Jojooooo! Don’t mind the notification of me “just” giving you a follow back, haha. I only had the opportunity to check Wattpad & was reading your post when my phone almost slipped out from my hand & I accidentally pressed unfollowed. Sorry! Oh, and I’ll be writing to you soon enough. Sorry for being away for so long :(
@WorldOfParadox XD no worries, but it's nice to see you again! welcome back.
