    Writing

    another 4 day week for ‘The Girl’; i got sick at the end of the week. we’re at the point now of highest violence now (i think), or at the very least when her personality vanishes. this is the heavy shit

    in addition:

    • wrote more Kossler! on my phone
    • revised “Hans” for a submission. i haven’t sent it in yet, but i will this week, assuming i feel less sick soon

    Other projects

    • reading the pico-8 manual, for fun and pleasure

    Books

    of interest:

    note: i oughta get to work on puttin my reading log here, as well in public. one of these days, huh

    Other

    • saw “His Motorbike, Her Island” as the Japan Society near the UN on Valentines day, a movie by the director of House, it was nice

    Writing

    still on ‘The Girl’. only wrote 4 days this week, got into the next step of disassociation. we’re into the nightmares, the soldiers, the bars

    in addition:

    • finished a new intro to Kossler on my phone. its nice to write in the notes app. i havent done so in a decade
    • another submission. im trying to submit on thursdays now, but i’m still not recording (oops). maybe later i’ll have details that count

    Other projects

    • made a really stupid game at a game jam
    • still writing on the ants. had a very busy week outside the home, so i haven’t done much

    Books

    dipped into proust some. lots of short stories, of course. again, busy week, right. right? right?

    Other

    Nope! I played lots of zelda instead of reading. Tears of the Kingdom. i am in an imagined world, wondering around. i am chilling it the depths. im really enjoying the game, for only being pointless

    also went to a david lynch drag tribute. someone did a striptease as the lost highway mystery man (10/10, transcendent)

    2025-5 weekly post

    Writing

    continued revisions this week for ‘the girl’. disassociation and derealism’s begun. in essence, i worked on the part where its just a line of uncomfortably sequenced short stories with only hints of delineation, so of course i love these parts

    in addition:

    • messing with more heightened kossler fantasy voice. is it tending too bolaño or bernhard? perhaps. but that just leads to more joyful revision.
    • submitted somewhere. tbh i forget, cause im not back to keeping records yet. hope they adore me

    Other projects

    drafting out new devlogs for my ants, often away from home and on my phone, in lines for bathrooms

    Books

    of note:

    • started JG Ballard high rise, hell yes
    • back to Solenoid (taking in a section again as audiobook). by the time i finish ill likely have been reading for six months
    • read a couple tiny indie comix

    Other media

    • Ethel Cain never made sense to me till Perverts. Now I will defend her to the death
    • i liked this talk
    • saw Dan Deacon perform at a ballet; it was so damn good that he wasn’t even the highlight

    writing, 2025 week 4

    last week, i started revisions on my little novel of derealization, The Girl, and continued on it this week. been doing it mostly during lunch breaks, for about an hour, and took the weekend off. our girl just made her way through the third door. things will soon unravel

    also: attempted an intro paragraph to reimagined versions of Kossler! in my head while walking to the library, then on my phone in the cold outside, struggling to move my fingers right. lets hope its worth it
