On Trying Writing Again
Jul. 29th, 2022 10:27 pmI'm trying to write again, after... so much starting and stopping over the pandemic. I suppose I should not feel like I haven't done anything as I managed to write a whole 18,000 word piece of fanfiction back in like, March, and I've been writing tons of snippets off and on for the last two years including multiple Frankenstein projects. It's... uncomfortable. I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. I got the fancy leuchtturm and fountain pen and everything to see if I can feel it and I'm not, but maybe it's just a muscle I do not have right now. I don't know.
However what I thought was funny was the published news on "necrobiotics", or the repurposing of dead tissue for robotics, with the proof-of-concept being using a pump pierced into a dead spider as a gripping tool. This normally wouldn't be funny except that about last week I was coming up with one of the concepts I was working on now, which was a mech suit made for a human that could run for about a month or so after the wearer had died, or could perhaps be rigged up to run with a corpse to begin with. The original idea was about insuring the investment of the mech suit but this paper kind of makes it sound a little more believable why this would work, if not still disturbing.
Anyway, if you're curious on the fanfiction it's a Critical Role/Legend of Vox Machina piece called Trust Exercises. Mostly Percy and Pike, though not as a ship.
