A few more chapters and I'm done. I started in September and it is probably going to be around 150,000 words.
I had about 3 or 4 self-esteem breakdowns in the process and I'll be so glad when I can just stop worrying about it for a few weeks.
Every now and again I go and find that YouTube clip of David Lynch saying "I am so depressed, I don't know what I'm doing" and for some reason that helps.

I bought a typewriter and did some other stuff. I thought you were asking about if I were writing? I'm not. Except for dream journalling for psychonautical work, a new never-for-publication comic book, the normal epistolary, and the historiography obviously. I fuck cats.

It will split into two books. One of them will remain the first person narrative and focus in on theology instead of it being a theme, the other involves freelance detectives/vigilantes.

Actually replying to your own post now? Pathetic.

Well that other anon now won't know to reply to me if he wants some fiction drafts from Van OP (which is me) so thanks very much.

He doesn't like or dislike. He hasn't read it. He is a troll shitting up my other thread. once he saw I had posted under this name and said authorial intent was real, he has adopted the post name and is going around saying intent isn't real. He just wants to troll and say retarded shit.

He doesn't like it. He has read it. He is a genuine poster in my other thread. once he saw I had posted under this name and said authorial intent was real, he has engaged in genuine criticism in that he is saying intent isn't real. He just wants to have an earnest conversation and facilitate discourse
