[ANNOYING AUTO] The State of Cull

The header image is AI generated.

Last week a God damn mouse nibbled its way through one of my monitors’ power cable. One foot nudge later and I’m down to a single screen. As I’m used to two by this point, I found the situation less than optimal.

Thus the meager funds were depleted for a new one. As I was going spend happy, I bought a new printer. The monitor was to arrive Sunday, the printer near the end of the month.

To my delight, the monitor arrived Saturday. I spent the weekend fiddling with cables until I became sick of fiddling with cables. So I canceled my printer order from one place and made a new one at another. More expensive, but I pick it up tomorrow.

My intent is to hook up the printer and finish with messing with the cables. No doubt more headaches await on that score, but hey! My life.

Once that is done, I’m printing up what I have of the novel’s second draft for my Alpha readers. I’m working more on the second draft. I will finish this bad boy. Hopefully before Spring.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

I have a buffer of two movies for the Sister Site. I have thoughts on one or two more. I need underscore italics bold all caps NEED to write at least one long review. I’m sick of the short ones.

And that’s today’s report. God, it’s good to give a full one.

[SITE] 26-0115

Very little got done today (or yesterday for that matter.) I recently found notes for monsters for the fantasy world I’m making, so I’m working on them. Tomorrow my buffer of movies at the Sister Site grows one smaller. I’m probably not doing Anaconda after all.

Anyways, journal entry done.

Once again, the header was done with AI. Toke me a second to realize what inspired it.

[ANNOYING AUTO] Cleaning and Dreaming

The above feature image is AI generated.

I can’t stand it.

I do a little cleaning up to put myself in a better place, and what happens? I end up doing a ton more work that I should. On this I lose what little I had in the process.

Anyway.

Had a dream last night, won’t bore you with the details. Towards the end someone tells me something happens to one of my brother on 11/11. I wake and the time is 3:33. It’s probably nothing, but I wanted a note reminding me of it. Thus.

[SITE RELATED] Happy New Year!

With the start of 2026, I’m hoping to make changes with my life. Starting with this blog. I’m shooting for a post a day, or, failing that, once a week. I’m trying to get a backlog of reviews over at the sister site. I’d like to finish the second draft of my novel, as well as improving my writing career in some fashion.

I make a lot of plans, only to fall short. Here’s hoping for the future, though.

[THOUGHTS] What I Enjoy Most About Writing?

Daily writing prompt
What do you enjoy most about writing?

[Note: The header image is AI generated by this site.]

Everything is probably a cheap answer, but it’s true. I enjoy the thinking about what to convey. I enjoy seeing black letters mar white background until the thoughts become words, the words sentences, the sentences paragraphs, and the paragraphs completed works. I enjoy editing, improving until I get it right. I enjoy reading what I’ve wrote, more if there’s been space between the process and the reading. I enjoy other people’s opinions of what I wrote.

Writing when I finish off an essay, a review, a story, and so on is the best.

I really should do it more often. Especially with this blog….

[ANNOYING AUTO] Then There’s That Hole in My Bucket That Needs Fixed…

So I’m sitting at my desk, eating ramen, trying to think of what do do with my day. Something that doesn’t involve playing Minecraft.

Don’t get me wrong, I love playing Minecraft. It’s just it has been taking up too much of my day.

I’ve been doing a lot of Blender stuff, so I’d like to get back on that.

But that means setting back my writing, and believe me I’ve done plenty of that.

Plenty of that.

So I’d like to get back on my writing. Notes, story, novel, something.

But I wouldn’t mind trying once again to finish a game.

I mean, I have three different RPGMakers in my collection. That’s a lot of money for nothing to show for it. True I enjoy the experience., But I’d enjoy a completed game more.

But I’d also wouldn’t mind building the game from scratch. I’ve options there, too. More money spent that could be put to creative use.

So I could go about figuring out how to make a game without RPGMaker.

But those games need computer graphics. Stuff that Blender makes. And I really should be learning that.

But….

Yep. Just sitting here thinking, eating ramen, trying to figure out what to do with my day.
