Youtube tends to stink at video suggestions but they won with this one. I've been digging the city-pop lately.

Noooo! I was lamenting the past year about how mass market paperbacks are becoming more and more unavailable. They've been the best format for carrying around. Honestly, I wish they stopped pushing hardcover. People still want pocketable stuff, even young people.

I will even take the new format I saw which was still pocket width but the height was just a little taller. Example: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/333560/lord-of-the-flies-by-william-golding-afterword-by-lois-lowry/9780399501487/

So this is interesting. :/

Because the excuse to infodump about storytelling is the best thing in the world.....

Here's your excuse to infodump anything and everything, or something really specific and small, about your story :)

The story I worked on last was the most I got in a NaNoWriMo attempt, over 10k words! Sorry, this has taken a while to answer.

It's a space saga. I love Star Trek and spent the last year getting through the Orville. My story dreams up a world where space travel is a thing to the scale of Star Trek. I've got a main character finishing up her final year at the academy training school on a moon base. She's got friends and competition. This is one of the few times I thought of a cast instead of a main and supporting characters. It's a challenge to give multiple characters growth and story. I'm still working on it, but had to take a hiatus because of life. I would really love to self publish this one some day.

My first Utada song and video. I still love this jam to this day. Yay for HD update!
