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. :)
Well the big news for me is that we finished the solarpunk TTRPG campaign book and handouts and we’re gearing up to release it! It’s been almost three years and I’m really excited to share it (and also to be done working on it).
I need to put together a writeup for my website, lemmy, reddit etc, and we’re working on a blurb for the itch.io and DriveThruRPG pages. Andrew is reaching out to different people in the solarpunk, eco fiction, etc spaces to see if they’ll give it a mention etc.
In other news I got the page on High Context Living far enough along to add to our worldbuilding resource wiki (these things are never really done but it’s great to have a place to save relevant bits of info as I learn about them). Please feel free to message me with any additions you think fit, or if you’d like to add a topic!
I’m excited to go back to making one-off bits of solarpunk art for a while, to pick up the gamebook again, and to help some writer friends with setting up bookbinding versions of their books! (I help by making covers, helping them create interposed, print-ready PDFs, walking them through bookbinding their own copies, and ideally drafting tutorial on binding the books. It’s part of an ongoing project to help make indie publishing a little more like indie music, with an emphasis on DIY and a rejection of trying to mimic the mainstream stuff. I’m hoping to show people that home bookbinding can be easy and produce some really high quality books with some cool/weird advantages over the mass market stuff.
