So, how’s everyone doing? Good? Let’s talk about…stuff. Yeah, stuff!

The Tumblr turned 7 earlier this month. Yay, I guess? Seven years feels like a long time, really…

But yeah, as promised, here is a State of the Writer!

Current Projects

The one overhanging project at this point is Wild Suzi. Part 3 stalled before my trip to Europe. I intend to finish the writing for this Part and conclude this arc this month. It’s been going on too long, and I want to move on to something else, at least take a breather from that particular project.

Immediate Backlog

I have two stories I started this year but never got around to finishing. One is a project set in Madscientist’s Infested Alley universe, my first attempt at both a story in that universe and a quick piece. I hope to get that done next, because that should be fast.

The other story is a DizzyDills story set in his (primary) universe. There’s never been an origin story for Sasha Jenson, the Captain of the Andromeda. I thought to make one, especially one that takes a more interesting twist from previous stories. That’s about…40-50% done?

Follow-On Backlog

So, there are two projects that have been sitting for the longest time. I’ll go over these now.

The rewrite/re-release of Lust Unleashed: Awakening is still something I want to do. The edits are done, it’s a matter of remaking it for a more suitable release on Amazon and elsewhere. However, a conversation with @thedude3dx is giving me…well, let’s just say I’m not sure how to proceed at this point. I could spend a couple weeks finishing this, but then publication may face issues.

The second is Emily’s Negotiation. For the sake of restarting that project, I want to do something new with it. It might require rewriting some of the story, but nothing too serious. I’ve yet to speak to JimJim about my plans, but I will later this week.

Projects In Consideration

Something that’s become clear to me in recent months is that it’s no longer enough to just be a writer in this scene, or even in erotic art in general. Yes, I know, obvious. But the point is that I’m not going to make any headway with the scene at large just by being a writer.

At the same time, I can’t be a 3DX artist, at least at the moment. I currently run a 2015 MacBook Pro Retina Display, 13-inch. It uses Intel graphics, which as we all know are trash at anything before, say, 2012. (I should know, I can barely run Cities: Skylines on it).

One theoretical option would be to get an eGPU. However, Apple has essentially killed off any hopes of running a TB2-based eGPU officially because Tim Cook is a money-grubbing piece of shit. Additionally, eGPU functionality remains shitty on macOS…it can only be run on external displays. So, to even consider it, I’d have to not only buy a monitor, but downgrade macOS to an earlier version that still (unofficially) supported TB2-based eGPUs. And that’s on top of buying a dock and graphics card. That’s more hoops than me running Windows of an external. Sorry, not happening.

That leaves buying/building a new computer. I’m not in the market though: I do not intend to buy anything new until I move to a new apartment, which is not happening until next year at the earliest.

So what can I do?

I’ve been thinking about doing behind-the-scenes stuff. Mainly learning how to script on a couple engines. The two that stand out to me are Ren’Py (the VN engine) and Unity. There was a recent Humble Bundle sale involving building for Unity, and I picked up most of the tools there.

I think, when I clear the immediate backlog, I’ll consider spending time on these. This might lead to some…interesting projects. Of course, that said…

Projects At Will

There are/will be occasions where I want to write something else out of spur of the moment. I’ve been wanting to write some scripts again, for example. There’s one I may do that’s really short (like, for a 1-2 minute long animation). If these occur, and should I be privvy to discuss them, I’ll let you know.

Plus, there are other stories I’ve been meaning to write. From DizzyDills:

A story involving Gwen
Continuing A Fun Little Swim
A weird series involving Sylvia
