it's SO nice to be making these posts again.
hello everyone! if you don't know me, i'm mk and i'm a writer! if you DO know me, hello again! i hope everyone is having a lovely day!
i'd like to try and make a hello post monthly again. i used to do these on patreon as a summary of the things i've been up to and things i'm planning for the month. they tend to be sporadic, but i try to get them out at LEAST before the end of the month.
so what have i been up to since the last time i made a post like this? ... well.
okay so here's the stuff i have planned for the next month or so! november is national novel writing month, and i VERY last minute decided to get a few more words on the page of my novel. it's at 45?k or so about now-- doubled from where i was at the start of the summer! this is the longest this draft has ever been and i'm so excited for where it's shaping up. i'm hesitant to post snippets to it to comradery since i intend to revise the draft and pitch it for publication, but here is a tweet-length elevator pitch for y'all:
thirteen months ago, john successfully ran away from his destiny. now that the world has ended, all he wants to do is find his long-missing best friend and go home, but someone's trying to dig their claws into him from beyond the grave.
it's gay and spooky and healing and it'll have a happy ending, what more could you want.
i've also got some stuff i'm working on to pitch to litmags at some point in the future-- i have a triptych of death myths i've been juggling in my head. one features a character i've had since i was in eighth grade, one features a version of a character of mine from my podcast follow the leader, and one features a brand-new character as i explore what a death myth looks like in ~spaaaaace~. excited to see how that one shapes up for myself.
most of my games stuff is on hold for the moment while i remember how to be a creator, though you can expect some more oracle games from me at some point early next year, as well as at least two wrestling games and one game that'll probably only make sense to people who speak math as fluently as i do.
oh! speaking of wrestling! i'm really excited to have joined the ringcrashers team over at gatecrashers.fan! we've got some great new pieces in the works for the coming weeks, including a history of the dark order and (eventually) some more coverage of GCW! my first piece, which was about omega vs. danielson at AEW grand slam, can be read there now; and eventually i plan to write more about women's, queer, and intergender wrestling.
i thiiiiiink that's what i've got for now! if you're new here, you can follow me on twitter at citadelofswords, where i've been posting a lot about wrestling but occasionally talk about games and podcast stuff; if you would like to check out my tabletop games you can find me on itch.io, and if you want to see some of my writing (including a project related to follow the leader i intend to get back to) you can check out my website: https://paradoxicalrenegade.com. i will talk to y'all again, if not sooner then definitely next month as i puzzle words together for nano!
