Arcade Link - They/Them 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

In 1998 The Legend of #Zelda Ocarina of Time was released. 
13 years later, in 2011, the remake for 3DS was released.
It had been 14 years since that remake. 🙃
We are further from the remake today than the remake was from the original.

Arcade Link A short story by Arcade Link This is a story I've been working on for, *checks notes*, 10 YEARS?? I originally wrote a story called "Does the Well of Time Fill Slowly?" in 2015, several years later I started turning it into a novel, but quickly realized that wasn't right. I then wrote it as a short...

I've posted a short story on my website (with an audio version). It is a piece of weird queer fiction called "Beware the Blessed Memories."

Arcade Link If you’ve followed my occasional “The Morning Arcade” streams, you’d have seen the episode where I discussed my goals for the year. Things are going well, and then some. I’m writing lots, I’m currently at around 15,000 words on the novel I started on January 1st, (more on that later). I ...

I've posted a poem on my website. A Ghazal called "Return from Subroutine." It is a confluence of my tech nerdiness, and ADHD.

No Sleep by Arm's Length

Update to the stream schedule for January through March.
I'm no longer streaming writing sprints, as that feels like too much pressure for my writing process. As such I'm moving The Morning Arcade forward to around 11am

Soft Animal by the Hotelier

Come hang out! Today I will be streaming The Morning Arcade at 11am PST (I'll be ranking all the tv series/seasons I watched in 2024 in a #tierlist), I will be streaming myself doing #WritingSprints immediately after that, and then picking up #Terraria by around 1pm!

Goldneye 007 on N64 has a fourth difficulty mode and I had NO IDEA. I guess I never beat it on 00 Agent difficulty. 🤔

In a single day, I made sure that there was nothing left for me to be excited about in my novel. I just did it all. So, everything that came after would be tedious for me.

Making a note now, to ensure that I don't do that, and I always take my time.
3/3

I had planned out my novel w a basic outline & notes on major plotpoints.
I had around 40k words already, & in one day I got to 60k words.
What I had done was, I blasted through everything I was excited about. If I got stuck I just wrote a note to continue that part & moved on to the next part.
2/3

10 years later, I'm thinking about when I started my first novel in 2015. There was a day where I wrote around 20,000 words in one day. But it was after that when my motivation for the novel dropped off and, even my passion for writing for a few years.
I realize now EXACTLY what happened.
1/3

It’s nothing high stakes. & it still maintains its anime-ness, if that makes sense.

It’s a 10/10, and I don’t even really like Jpop/rock very much. It’s just good from top to bottom.
I watched it 2 weeks ago and I’m still thinking about it if that tells you anything.

5/5
