MOVING WEEK. THIS WEEK I HAVE BEEN PACKING UP ALL MY THINGS. BOOKS WERE VERY QUICKLY INACCESSIBLE
Writing
listened to a real long text-to-speech mp3 of The Girl, a revision strategy. i think its basically done, but i gotta fix a lot of typos. also did some self-translation and got notification of acceptance to a mag. ill post info here when that’s public
Other projects
little bit of ants. did a game jam over the weekend, oughta post my work up here soon

2025-14 weekly post
got access to a new apartment this week, so really started moving in earnest. we got an overlap in leases (call me mr. money, its alright), so its been a daily back and forth, cleaning and bringing small things across town
Writing
scattered yet productive. working at random on shorts, touched The Revolution the one day I had time
Other projects
i fixed up the posts page on here to have pagination AND full post content, like a beautifully crowded stream, like a model of the gunky mississippi; tried for some reason to learn NixOS, i dont know why, probably cause im moving and thus swinging around in my mind
Books
gave up on a william vollman book (too much lol), trying to read more japanese

Writing
typed up a revision of my buffalo story and submitted it. let’s hope it goes well
also worked on some translations and just the littlest bit of revisions for The Revolution. as stated above: a weak of allergies (get it? get it?), which i may just have to adapt to now
Other projects
tryna learn nginx stuff to rehost a few websites, getting back into the fun of the pico ants. overall, calm but steady
Books
normal patterns. the new html review came out and i adored new legibility from it
Other

2025-12 weekly post
recovery week, revokery week, allergy symptoms rising week, alright
Writing
notes app flash, old story revision, translations when i have time
onto ch 2 of the Revolution and quite happy with where it is. trying to solidify the so-callable internal logic, in order that the pointless continuity is even more solid, as a thematic thing
Other projects
fixed my rss feed, posted another devlog for the ants, tryna learn math. all this inevitable
Books
started the audiobook of Wittgensteins Mistress: that’s a book made to be read aloud, despite everything. started complete Garielle Lutz and loving it. the eternal present - by kate wagner - the late review was good

2025-10 weekly post
a calmer week, a recovery week; attempting to resume a manic style
Writing
finished another draft of ‘the girl’. i really like this one now, its solidifying into something. in a month or so i’ll re-read and see how i feel about it, if its ready for desperate attempts at notice by the world
also thinking of new ideas for ‘the revolution’, adding a thematically facetious “generative” style
Other projects
cooking, posting, finished reading the manual of pico-8. in addition i made a stack of personal randomization cards, as a method of navigating life without control
Books
went to several bookstores. new york’s nice. there are so many book stores.

big week: apartment searching and (unfortunately) terrible anxiety upswell. .˙. week of low creativity
Writing
a week of revisions mostly. did line edits to my Ponce de Leon story and typed last week’s revisions of my first cigarette story up. both stories were fun to return to
also, got interest back from an agent for Kossler!, two or three weeks after i decided to give up lol. i submitted the whole text to the agent, i hope they want to represent me!
no the girl revision this week though, gotta get back to that
Other projects
none lol, see above
Books
nothing much of interest, slower week. started reading about DBT, for reasons obvious
Other
2025-8 weekly post
Writing
only revised ‘The Girl’ one day this week, as I’ve been doing some story revisions for submissions: my cigarettes and my ponce de leon story, both of which (i noticed this week) pull the same sort of sudden shift into the absurd to explain abstractions. i’ve got techniques
in submissions: sent my hans story in, reading a few for another place. i actually recorded where this week, but i dont know if its like verboten to post this in the semi-public world of the blog. but i am, as they say, working now
Other projects
little of note. i was sick this week, as an excuse

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

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

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
