Another day, another story

Daily writing prompt
What have you been working on?

The last time I answered this prompt I was working on a different fantasy-themed story (which, I am definitely still working on since I put so much effort into it initially back during NaNoWriMo 2023) but lately I’m also picking at a new one that I want to eventually put up on Wattpad for the fun of it to see what kind response it gets.

I’m also working on more miniature painting and 3D printing stuff. On the miniature side, I’m still slowly working through my back log of minis from the game Black Rose Wars, and I’m also working on assembling the pieces for a box kit of Warhammer 40k: Necromunda that my dad bought because he wanted to play it after seeing some guys playing in a game shop. On the 3D printing side of the hobby house, I’ve been dabbling in Blender again to try and make a box/base that my printed “arborial dragon” can be mounted on. The box is also supposed to house some battery packs and other electronics parts so that I can make the dragon light up, and I’ve made/printed multiple prototypes but something is always off. (Word to the wise for those wanting to get into this stuff, there are all kinds of nuances to the process from designing in Blender to understanding how things will print in a resin-based printer.)

I think those are the main things I’m working on at the moment. Really it’s just more of the same from last time. The fun never ends!

What’s on the horizon

What have you been working on?

I started my blog in late 2018 because I wanted to get serious about my desire to write. I’ve worked on a variety of things over the years, and been through my share of ups and downs with motivation and trying to accomplish things. I started small, and tried to build up the habits for consistency. I was streaming on Twitch for a while so I tried to tie them together. Asking viewers to submit prompts helped for a time but I got overwhelmed so I put it on hiatus to try and focus on other things. More specifically, one of those things was that I ultimately wanted to write a novel and get it published!

I haven’t gotten there yet, but in the last 8 years with the help of friends and just consuming lots of media and I’ve built up plenty of ideas and materials. So in addition to that, I’m trying to get back into a habit of consistency. Which I’m going to need if I want to actually accomplish my goals. That’s what I’m working on these days.
