I have decided to blog through my project of my new project “Skazaniya”. This will be the project I work on throughout my final two years in school! The basic idea is a digital Library system and a corresponding online website that patrons can browse through the collection. I plan to do this almost entirely by coding and creating it by hand. The only thing I will not be doing by hand is scanning all the books and movies and board games, and any other things that will be collected. I have some loose ideas, general tech specs, and vibes I want the project to have.
Hey, I started a Substack finally, after planning on doing so for about five or six months. Link in my social button.
So I go over all this on the Substack post, my first one, but basically, I’m using this Substack as a catchall. You know like that weird drawer full of seeming junk until you really need that AAA battery. I’m joking, I’m not going to put literal trash there, I will probably just put some essays and fiction that don’t fit anywhere on the stack. I also will talk about things I find interesting that don’t relate directly to me. I will still be doing this blog, and talking about my work and the creative process here. All major announcements will be on both Substack and this blog, as well as spread across normal social media. So the substack will be a cool way to hear extra songs, read fiction not available anywhere else that I have written and other goodies along the way! I hope you will consider subscribing. See you on the other side <3
We are only a few days into May but, so far I have been pretty productive. In this entry, I’ll go into some details about new projects, and things I am hoping to release this month. This is mostly for me to keep track of what I’m doing, but maybe some other people might be curious about what I’m working on this month.
So one of my goals for 2023 was to start a public YouTube channel and during the first part of this year, that is what I’ve been working on. My Channel went live with its first few videos on March 6th, 2023! I’ll detail my work on YouTube and the other things I’ve been up to in this post.
After recovering from being so ill writing came a little slower than normal, but I did finish the final draft of my second poetry and short stories book. I also chose to republish some of my earlier short stories so the collection would finally all be in one place. I think the book is coming out in August, but I will know in the next week most likely. I have done some light editing of the project I finished the first draft of last summer. Mostly I have been working on continuing my NaNoWriMo project from last year. My camp Nano goal is to try to finish draft one of this project. I am thinking I may release this book for free online, but that’s just what I think right now.
I’ve been pretty sick since the end of February. I didn’t really start to feel better until the beginning of this month. I even had to go to the hospital, so no really creative stuff got done. I was hoping to do Camp Nano this month but it didn’t end up happening. I decided after all that, that I would take a small break from the editing I was doing on the novel I finished last Summer. I will talk a little about what my plans are for the upcoming months in this post.
For 2022 I’m doing a few old projects and a few new ones. I am excited to shake it up a little bit and do some things that are not strictly writing. Click to find out more!
