On #MetastaticBreastCancerAwarenessDay, a remembrance thread. My mother received her first diagnosis of breast cancer 15 years ago, when I was still in high school. She fought aggressively against both the cancer and lazy or incompetent treatment options. We thought she'd won.

#writerslife woe number 362: There's a difference between being able to write coherently (literacy) and being able to write well (being a writer). People in the former group won't understand how much work goes into moving to the latter until they've made that journey.

Am I doing this right?

@yrfreakyneighbr Always happy when someone remembers Death Note

Just in case anyone is wondering why I seem to accomplish so little with so much free time, here's a handy dandy infographic

Hey there #indiedevhour! The humanoid spirits aren't the only ones getting art updates. Have a quick look at enhanced Charon, who's been given a bath (cleaned up) and had a bit more detail added.

#writerslife woe number 193: No one will ever get all of the references you make. No one.

Hey #indiedevhour! We have only one more merchandise shipment we're waiting for before we can start getting ready to send out physical rewards. Are you excited? We're excited! Have some previews:

I heard the average novels are about 50-100k words, but in the world of VN, they are considered on the shorter side.

So, we are expected to make something that is longer than a book, but with pictures, music, choices, and somehow 20 usd is still too expensive. 😅

Guess what- I'm giving a panel at Crunchyroll Expo on Making Your Own Visual Novel!! It's just a few days away~

Panel info: https://t.co/LRaZ7of42N

[MyOnlySunshineVN @OnlySunshineVN]

Today is the last day to vote for the next character to be interviewed! A certain smug bastard is currently in the lead, but just barely. If you want to ensure he (or someone else) wins, make sure to vote!

#writerslife woe #86: when "I just need to find a plot device in this character's specialty to force them to get involved" turns into an allnighter research binge

[AkaBaka @ChromatoseDev]

When I first pitched Sucker for Love to DreadXP, I planned on having 3 eldritch cuties in the game, though they were cut so the game would be finished in 10 days. I drew some sketches of the girls designed after Shub N. and Azathoth who didn't make it into the game 🦑

#writerslife woe number 204: Your favorite character is whoever you wrote for most recently, even if you HATE that kind of person.

[Elaine Podosek @empodosek]

@ADHD_Alien @AtomicBoxx It might be tied more generally to enthusiasm instead of ADHD directly? When you're all hyped up you don't take the time to check your numbers and just go with something that matches the energy.
ADHDers just tend to more easily slip into unbridled enthusiasm when revved up

[Elaine Podosek @empodosek]

@totallylesbigay @ADHD_Alien Oh that one is easy! If someone says they were joking you can just go with "And I was playing along"

Face = saved

[Elaine Podosek @empodosek]

@ADHD_Alien I am all about that alternate phrasing, especially if you can turn it into an amusing image. For years my family has had an inside joke about T-junctions on roads being "splats" because that's what I would call them. Because if you don't turn you go splat.
