Writefag's Corner: Once we were Gods

If you've been keeping up with Planetside 2, a fantastic fps mmo I've been playing on and off for a while, you'll know that recently they've decided to revamp the lore lately. I decided I wanted to take a crack at writing a story in that universe. I thought to myself, "What would happen if these seemingly immortal humans suddenly lost that invulnerability?" I took that idea and ran with it, creating Once We Were Gods. So far, just chapter 1 is up, but I'm almost finished with a second chapter. I'm intending it to be a three chapter short story, but I may continue it if you guys like it. Hope you enjoy!

Another note: from now on all my writefag's corners writings are going to be hosted on that wixsite, just because I want to keep this blog more personal writings and that website more professional writings. Not to say that my writing is going to be "more professional" there, the fucking homepage just proves that wrong, I just wanted it to be easier to find my writings as opposed to my blogging here. It's an organizational thing, really. 

Life update: September 2018

I am 20 now. God that feels weird to say. My birthday was this month, making me no longer a teenager, but as usual I feel no different. It's like everyone says, I feel no older than I was when I was, say, 15.

But, life has gotten better. I've been more on top of my classes as well as getting back into the swing of this blog. I'm actually excited about my classes for once. I think changing my major to history was the right choice. Also, it's nice to just take some time out of my day just to sit and write, whether it be here on the blog, for one of my classes, or just for myself. I enjoy the feedback you guys give me from discord, and its nice to get things off my chest.

I'm still (trying) to make videos. I want to be less of a lazy fuck and actually get myself back on a schedule, but I can't make any promises. Pretty much every video I listed in my pipeline in the beginning of the summer is in the works in one way shape or form, along with a couple others. I just need to commit to finishing projects I've started and not just abandon them.

9 years is coming out in November. I've been making good progress with it, and so long as I keep up this pace that is when it will come out. Of course, I'm horrid with dates, so just take that with a grain of salt. With the amount of shit that goes down in it though, I think it'll be worth the wait.

My love life has been mostly stagnant. I went out with another girl from tinder. She was nice but I don't see myself getting into a relationship with her. I've been talking to another girl too, but I also don't think much is going to come of that.

Pika was having a rough time the other day. Her cat just up and disappeared, and she was getting super worried. She had him chipped, so she went to the vets in the area to report it missing. Honestly, I was fearing the worst after three days, after all south Florida is gator country, but he finally came back. It was a relief, but also puzzling. He was missing his collar, so I suspect someone tried to steal him. That pisses me off. There's a bazillion other sweet cats out there that don't have homes, why would you try to take one that has a home? Pika's cat started out as a stray kitten, so it's ironic he's now so wanted someone tried to abduct him. However, he may have just lost it in the woods, so we can't know for certain. I just told her to keep an eye on any neighbors that show a peculiar interest in him.
