Welcome to the 26th writing club update!
I hope everyone has been having a pleasant late summer. The weather here has been a mix of rain and sunshine back and forth, in an almost 50/50 mix that I don’t recall seeing for years. It’s been great for the vegetables, anyway.
To quote from previous entries:
To anyone stumbling upon this post and wondering about the rules – there really aren’t any! This is a club for mostly the same regulars and semi-regulars, but visitors are encouraged to comment on writing, or writing adjacent, updates or share their own. The idea is to set a goal for yourself and try to achieve it by the next month’s update. :)
My goal was 500 words per week, and as is becoming tradition, I feel far short of that! But I still count the goal as a semi-success again, because I did more writing than I would have without the goal.
I continue to be obsessed with Doom mapping as a way to express my (simplified) narratives, so that’s where most of my creative oomph has been going. Although in conversations with a fellow writing club member, I’ve started to think about way to integrate dialogue and narrative into my designs (there are ways, with the modern source ports).
So I think that will be my goal for this month – look into advanced scripting and modding capabilities to work actual stories with text into my designs.
I’m glad to have put a dark seed into your heart to make your doom mapping even more cursed! 💜 🧙♀️
I’m still interested in looking at any short stories if you ever want me to! Or potential fun scenarios for doom maps, for that matter.
