    Hope there are no hard feelings between us or anything "The Laurent" . Was just giving my opinion on things. Apologies for any offense I created.

    Today is probably the most unproductive day I've had in a while. I've only written 500 words so far.

    Yesterday, I spent about an hour staring at my computer screen, trying to write something (and failing). 500 words doesn't sound so bad to me.

    Yo, I just wanted to tell you a story that I think you would find funny.

    I was talking about Worm with someone recently, and they told me, verbatim, "Sorry that I insulted your pet web novel".

    It made me genuinely laugh out loud, but I thought you would also find it amusing. :D

    It just made me laugh.

    I realise I don't like Worm for a lot of reasons, and that this may sometimes make my criticism unfair, but I know something about ut...

    But I just thought it was hilarious that knowing a bit about Worm makes it my "pet web novel".

    Just want to say Serpent Throne is quite a good read. On pins and needles after every update I read through today.

    Yeah. The scene with Aia's family was one I had in my head for a long time. Just like that scene with the Emperor they're never going to see that I had planned if they met him during study time.

    (Yanmae too is someone I've been wanting them to meet for a while, but I'm sure as a QM you understand that sometimes players don't bite into plot hooks when they should.)

    Mhm. I think you've got it even harder given the SV audience is mostly western and couldn't discern subtlety if you spoon fed it to them from childhood.

    The second is definitely a difficulty when one is running a game of court intrigue. Though at this rate, it will probably be war, which...is not any less complex, actually, and fraught with potential disaster.

    Right now five different plots are going on at once, and it's a race to see which blows up in everyone's face first.

    "And I was like, 'Is this a weird pizza war that I'm not even aware of?'"

    Original quest idea: Cyberpunk shadow war between mega-pizza chains. Hire Deliverators to get your pizza to the customer on time. Balance using your pizza service for corporate espionage and being honest so corporates allow you into their arcologies. Destroy other pizza franchises by sending shadowrunners to blow up their bakeries.

    So, what about character creation? I think it should be short and simple. Pick a City (it comes with a Style) and pick a 'personality type' and then one special trait/advantage.

    Styles gives other advantages.

    (Damn character limit. cont below.)

    So, if you choose St. Louis , 'Perfectionist' and 'In the zzza Mob' then you're in charge of a Pizza Shop whose specialty is thin crust pizza (yum), you're very good at demanding the best from everyone else...sometimes too good, and you have access to mob goons and mus cle to intimidate your foes.

    Pro-tip. Writing more each day doesn't stop you from kicking yourself for not writing enough. It just raises the standards you fail to meet.

    Hey what's up with a Song of Ice and Glamour? Is it on Hiatus?

    It might be, a little bit. I just don't have time with all of the projects I'm doing. I actually *do* have further chapters up to Bran, but I don't think it's fair to continue to release updates every Saturday if they're just going to end once I run out of 'backlog.'

    Why does it feel like my KCS Updates keep getting shorter. I mean, it's not just a feeling, but...eh!
