    Technically they have arms, yes, and can walk on two legs, though their natural posture is to walk on four. Quadrupedalism is considered uncivilized, however, in certain parts of the world...

    And thanks, Lissette. I hope your writing's going just as well.

    I'll try. I'm filled with DETERMINATION.

    (I'm also very obsessed with Undertale right now. Finally had the chance to play it recently...)

    Oh my gosh. XD My brother played that too! I cannot understand the appeal...

    Some people don't. The game itself is more of a novelty than anything, but it left a lasting impression.

    It depends how much you like decision driven storytelling, goofy humor, and fourth wall breaks.

    I'm glad! It shows how drastically tastes may differ.

    It's going alright. Still approaching the end of Book 1. The short stories made me tired, so taking a break from writing for a little bit.

    Steadily. It's coming along steadily. I've been meaning to post an update, probably within the next day or two.

    We've been wondering about your story. It'll be nice to see how well you are doing..

    High time for some updates, I think.

     

    March has been the month of struggle. I have officially entered the so called death zone of my novel –the first quarter/third of a book where most new writers give up. And I must say, the name is quite apt.

    Beginnings are easy for me. Endings too. These are always the first things I think of. But middles? Nope. I’m terrible at middles, and this project has only reaffirmed my views.

    The further I go, the more it feels like I’m never going to finish by summer. I might need the whole rest of the year. I’m just not a fast writer, let alone a consistent one.

     

     

    …That’s it. I don’t really have anything else to say. This is the long and grueling part of the process, at least for a compulsive reviser like me.

    I’m neck deep in shit and feel like I’m sinking. I’ll keep going, but it would sure be nice if I actually knew what I was doing.

    Oh well. *shrugs*
