Wind's Goings On

I want to use this space to start journaling because I think it would be fun! And this whole site makes me feel nostalgic. I don't know that I had a lot of people who would've read anything back in the era where I was doing LJ/Xanga stuff, but I'm gonna do it now and people may look if they like!

So! I need to get back into learning Korean. I got hung up on wanting paper notes and then I got caught in the trap of Textbook Designing where I wanted my notes to make sense and be easy to reference. I think, though, I'm going to try and be less precious about that and start getting back into it. Which is really exciting. I love learning it.

Let's see... well! I was going to make a whole post about my writing and everything, but I can just do it here! Let's be fast and LOOSE. (related to loose, I found a loose pizza roll on my counter today and it did not belong to me, you see. I left it there so as not to unhouse it)

So! Currently I'm working on five-ish writing projects, probably novels! These will be labelled as their working titles as I discuss them because uhhh that's how it is y'know.

Hardwire: So, this is a cyberpunk story with digital ghosts about the concept of legacy in a world where class-mobility does not exist and so the lowest classes deify people who go out in blazes of glory. This is a story about vengeance and community.

Transfiguration: This is a story I started when I wanted to write an assassin! The general idea for this is an assassin and a knight (who insists on a bow as a main weapon) are entangled in a plot, the knight trying to chase and apprehend the assassin before she can do harm. both POV characters. I'll summarize this better later.

Startide 4: This is my world with psychopomps tasked with taking willful ghosts peacefully into death. In this fourth novel of it, we meet Harbor, a new trans-transplant in a small town in the PNW. She is all alone and in a state of mourning her former life and is dunked into a new position she is chosen for, to be one of the psychopomps, a Startide. It's a story of her trying to find a place in the world and trying to work out what she's meant to do in it.

Coyote's Bounty: This is a sci-fi story with space royalty! That's all I can talk about right now :D

Archimedes: This is my 3rd take on this story, but you can find info about Archimedes herself here! She's a hacker character I've been trying to write about for years now but I haven't gotten the story right. THIS version has her as someone whose ideology consists of exposing the truth to conspiracies by hacking sensitive information and leaking it to various news places and, if she can't help it, news influencers. The big picture pitch of this for me right now is, "what if a derelict space ship was a haunted house?" so! We're goin' somewhere!

And ta-dah! That's where we are lately. And I FINALLY wrote this blog post yaayyyyy!!! Okay, I'll think about more stuff to do later. Thanks for coming bye!
