God I'm late this time! Kind of a dry month because of the last wave of essays, but at least I'm done with that shit for possibly ever!

I managed to make a thorough revision on a story from 2024 I prepared for a collection, and I sketched Kanteletar's Section C (6 chapters) which I want to write in its entirety before the end of July. I really want to get back to my usual rhythm of writing every weekend, let's see if I can manage this summer.

I think it is!

Reading is another thing that can help a lot (comics included), and basically any handcraft. Anything that makes you struggle a little bit

Indeed, that was one of my inspirations for the template of separate stories, although the setting is wildly different and it mostly becomes straight up feudal in the middle section. I would like to avoid scenarios of regression or dystopia, so let's see if I manage!

Yes! It consists of five stories across four centuries, following the twists and turns of a library in Tampere as the world around it changes.

The first story was set in 2067, the second in 2148 and the one I'm about to write is in 2232. I always try to keep it realistic, so there's no standard scifi tropes like aliens or androids or teleportation.

It's a craft that requires failure, and everyone has their own learning times. As long as you're enjoying it, you should keep writing it!

Would you mind sending the story once you feel confident with its final version? I'd love to give it a read!

Finally getting the chance to post without several days of delay! 😂

April has been quite fruitful! I've finally completed the revision of Kanteletar's Section B, so I've already started to outline Section C (which is to be written across May and June, if I manage). School practice was intense so I didn't get to write anything else, and next month will also be quite busy with... more useless essays 😩 Hopefully the last ones for the foreseeable times.

Plenty of summer projects:

• Kanteletar Section D (4/5)
• A short story (maybe 6k words? Not too long) about a tribe of Kobolds displaced by a faceless Empire and the social consequences of their migration
• Maybe something to send for Karl Schroeder's "solarpunk" contest?

It isn't when you have complete tactical superiority and you want to intimidate your opppnents

Dovevate per forza usare l'IA per l'immagine del post?

You won't believe me but this time I've been late INTENTIONALLY! I wanted to write/edit a lot during Easter vacations and I managed to do so, so I postponed the update to include this writing burst 😤

• Edited four (out of six) chapters from Kanteletar's Section B
• Submitted some flash fiction to Scrappy Capy's Harbour magazine after a loooong time not submitting anything!

Considering I'm very deep into teaching practice (and I will be for the rest of April as well), I'm very proud! :D
