OMFG. 2020- the hell year is finally over! It is tomorrow!!! And a special FUCK YOU to fireworks. If you have hopes, dreams or goals for 2021, kindly keep them to yourself! LOL! No, seriously.
My goals for 2021: None. Hopes: None. Dreams: None. Nothing good ever happens and that seems extremely unlikely to change. I don’t have any book ideas really. I don’t have any hopes of anything I’ve written being published any time soon. I have an unfinished adult novel and I am STILL working on my R&R and that goddamned One Enchanted Stitch which is getting ALL the rejections. It would be nice to write a new book I guess. But I am also wondering what the point is. Ha ha! I probably outlined all of Jane Eyre for nothing.
Anyway, hypothetically the SCBWI chapter here is going to try an online conference. So I’ll probably sign up for that. See what agent consultation I can get. Of course all I have is a talking animal book…
Does anyone know if Urban Fantasy is still a thing?? I need to figure out how to grind out books that will sell in the self-publishing realm but also in a genre I can tolerate. I am not cut out for romance…
On to Roll20 shenanigans- Made THIS character in the “game” (it’s not a game) I am tinkering on in order to learn how to use Roll20. I used PICREW to make her- I did not draw her myself! This is Honore (accent acute on the last e) Prince of New Salem (a city I made up but is dumb but also it doesn’t matter because I’m just trying to learn how to freaking use R20.
Basic concept for the character is the “Fun Boss” or the boss who is your friend whether you want them to be or not. She puts on like she’s your best friend but in truth is a ruthless survivor. I have also logged what looks like 10+ hours on R20, but that is just me trying to figure out what the buttons do… But I have probably spent more time on Picrew making vampires than I have actually trying to figure out R20. Yes I feel bad.
I DID leave my comfort zone enough to apply to a Vampire the Masquerade game on R20 but I have not, and DO NOT expect to hear back from them.
Really I feel like I should channel my VtM obsession into writing a vampire novel… And yes I feel bad I’m not writing one.
Anyway, doll photos. These are the twins, Charlotte and Edwina. They are both Super Dollfie Cute from Volks and they are the same mold but they came out under different names and with different outfits. So one is a Volks Mina and the other is a Volks May and it doesn’t matter which is which. BUT Volks Mina is seen in fullset Volks blue outfit with blue wig and my Volks May is in the 1980s-ish leggings and blue sweatshirt. I have had May (aka Cahrlotte) for some time now and added Mina (aka Edwina) just recently. I freaked out when they Volks released them and tried to buy one at the Dollpa (dolls party) after-event which is when Volks sells some of the dolls online. BUT I couldn’t get the website cart to work.
Anyway, see you on the other side of my birthday. I can’t even tell if it’s good or bad. I’m old and unpublished and sad all the time.
