So other than endless work, my minimal free time is now spent "world building". This is the process by which fantasy and sci-fi worlds are created. I'm creating a whole world so that I can then write a novel. Yes, I'm going to try and write a fantasy novel, something that I've wanted to do since I was a kid. A couple months back I thought to myself "why can't my imagination work FOR me"? I'm always making characters of my own within other people's fantasy worlds, so now I'm gonna try to create my own. I'm a fairly decent writer, and who knows, maybe I'm be able to come up with some good, cool plots. I've already created a whole magic system, some deities, five "classes" and lots of creatures, so we'll see. Anyways that's what I'm doing with my free time. That and playing games. Yes, I'm your typical "gay nerd", and I spend way too much time playing games, even to the point of skipping whole nights of sleep, just to accomplish what I want. Anywho that's what's up with me. Let me know in the comments down below what YOURE doing!
cheers,

I'm a "gaymer" too! Been playing Overwatch and Diablo 3. Would love to read an epic fantasy novel with a gay main character. Some of my favorite fantasy fiction books are the Kingkiller Chronicles, Gentlemen Bastard and Cosmere series. I often imagine worlds that include bdsm and cbt too.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the stuff for Diablo 4? Are you excited?
DeleteYea, the direction they seem to be taking it looks promising. Trailer was cool; Lilith's blood curtain cape is so extra, it's great. I'm on an ARPG binge now, since Diablo 4 isn't coming for at least 2-3 years. Playing Wolcen, Grim Dawn and waiting for season 19 from Diablo 3 (too many hours in path of exile already).
DeleteNot to toot my own horn, but I've accurately predicted the story progression of Diablo. When I realized that the basis of the story is essentially a creation myth, I new we were going to be dealing with Mathael (who went missing), the necromancer, and now Lillith. In fact, I predict the ultimate goal will be to rescue Inarius from the burning hells.
DeleteHello from a long-time fan! I'm also a fantasy nerd and enjoy creating all sorts of things in my head. I wouldn't call myself a writer just yet, but writing and publishing stories is something I'd like to do at some point in my life. As for what I'm doing, mostly working and adulting. My current personal projects are trying to get more fit, and learning Japanese.
ReplyDeleteI took a quarter of Japanese at college. However it was mostly filled with Japanese-American's who already knew the language, looking for an easy A. It was difficult. But I LOVE the written forms of Japanese. They're so beautiful.
DeleteThat is AWESOME! Let your imagination run wild!
ReplyDeleteCoool! I too am a bit of a nerd and nice to hear that you are creating a world and planning to write a fantasy novel/s! I wish that you succeed with that! Maybe someday I will too try something like that.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're alive and doing well during all this madness in the world! I know you've been busy with other things.
ReplyDeleteany new update? Missing your stories,
