Oh my god I spent 2 hours writing this blog post and right before I hit save my cat stepped on my keyboard which refreshed the page and I LOST IT ALL.
Let me try to just be super to the point and brief:
This month's goals were:
For #1 I wrote 3k. This is a lot less than I was hoping for, but hey at least it's something!
For #2 I finished 2 scenes!
(This is the town of Northun!)
Other quick notes:
Half Haunt Halloween (https://heiden.itch.io/half-haunt-halloween) is in this year's Queer Halloween Bundle!

Go grab a copy if you're looking for spooky games to try!
Other other notes:
I didn't write as much as I wanted to this month because every time I sat down to write I just stared at the word document. I was paralyzed with fear. In my original write up I had a really pretty musings about these types of fears and stuff but let me just cut straight to the core here:
I was freezing in place because I was frightened of making a mistake and being attacked for it. People I called "Sour Grape-ers" purposefully sit around and hate watch other creators and wait for there to be blood in the water and then ATTACK. (You've seen it happen.) It's never about the actual product itself, it's that they don't like you and want you gone.
When I release this Mokemon game, it'll have bugs. Someone will probably post it to a hate website and I'll get weird DMs and emails. The people who hate me will continue to hate me and the people who like me will continue to like me. So nothing will change.
And I want to water the part of my life that I want to grow. I'm going to make things that I like. :) And if you like them too, I'm glad!
Aka: Welcome to Heiden's world, I hope you like the same types of things I do, because we got them in spades.

Next month's goals:
1. Write 5k (and write what I love :) )
2. Finish the last 3 outdoor scenes!
3. Start the transportation code to allow Gray to walk from scene to scene.
With that abbreviated post (and my cat just came in and is starting to circle again *SOBBING*), I'll see you next month!
Stay spooky,
Heiden
Mood: Anxious (watching my cat)
Eating: Pumpkin Spice Cheerios and Brussel Sprouts. No, these don't really go well together.
Drinking: Ikesoren juice (I made myself an ikesoren mug in the pottery studio and im drinking coffee out of it. So its my ikesoren juice :) )
Reading: Lapvona by Moshfegh
I think??? I liked this book????
It has so much blood and poop in it and so much senseless death but it felt like watching a train wrecking in slow motion. It's certainly compelling and the writing is gripping, even if there is basically no overarching theme (besides incest??) or like... a message. I think there was a message 3 pages from the end that I didn't like.
If you like weird graphic books, this one was a trip.
