#should i make a tag for whatever thesell be? cuz for sure im gonna make more

[count-geiger]

guess who finished their midterms!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also this is kind of an announcement post, i guess???? because im working on something! a big something! please stay tuned to hear more about it but for now i am going to tell you all a little itty bitty bit. im currently working on a combined fiction podcast and serialized web novel called tales from the hand of evil! i think i can best describe it as an abstract horror comedy in a western themed setting with lots of sci fi and cosmic horror elements. its very episodic, monster-of-the-week type of thing but with lots of recurring characters, settings, and plot elements. im currently writing the script for the first episode, and the first chapter of the web novel. soon i'll be looking for people to help out with everything :)

right now, im planning on making a tumblr account for posting the web novel on and another for just having an official account for the "studio" (theres no studio, its just gonna be me and whoever comes in to help me out).

im putting a cut because i just wanna ramble a little about things, like a diary that i get to post on the internet (fun!) but who knows if anyones gonna wanna read that.

MAN its been fun working on something seriously again. i havent done this in a long, LONG time and i forgot how much i like the idea of managing a whole project.

but now i live on my own and theres this whole deal of money becoming involved and im starting to get a little spooked. now this is more personal than i usually get on here because im talkin about my parents but my parents (specifically my dad) are actually quite supportive of my projects when i decide to dedicate my time to them. theyve expressed a lot of willingness to help me out in whatever ways id need to get what i need done, if im actually serious about pulling things off. so that means theres a possibility that, if i need or want to hire people, my parents will help me pay them

ive tried this a lot of times in a lot of ways. if youre someone whos been following me through my accounts on here then youve seen it. and i say this every time but this feels like the big one. i feel real real serious this time, more serious than ive felt about any of my other stuff. its because THIS feels feasible, more than any of the other things ive wanted to do. i dont feel like im aiming too high here, i feel like i can actually pull it off!!

ive been thinkin about something and its a huge long shot. but i cant get the idea out of my head because it would kill me dead if i was actually able to do it.

see you guys know i like will wood. everyone knows that. hes been my favorite music artist for four years, and will be for the foreseeable future. i got SO many of my ideas for this story while listening to his music, and the podcast itself is kind of inspired by life in the world to come's setting. so i got the vague idea one day of "hey, what if you contacted will wood about potentially commissioning him for music for your podcast?". its such a long shot, and if i DID do that, it would probably push the release date of the first episode back even further because hes on tour right now, but. his music would fit really good tonally with my story and the music he made for camp here and there was genuinely spectacular so i cant help but think about it. and from a kind of business-y standpoint, itd be a STELLAR way to attract people to my story, because i know damn well that will wood fans are for sure in my target demographic.

ive already decided that i won't contact him until the script for the first episode is done. because i feel like after the script is done, then thats it---ive done it, i CAN do it. ive officially made something that i can put out into the world. a story that i can share with other people. ive always wanted that.

i have the biggest gut feeling that THIS is it. THIS is the one. im actually gonna be realistic this time and im gonna do it, im gonna make something.
