71145 words.
About 60-70% done. A small book isn't it?
Not that anyone is reading it maybe, except a few people who have emailed around however long project STEKI has been up.
Ayy caramba this isn't a complaint. Its ok, I don't mind. One has to work for work itself sometimes. One could say that writing doesn't really add to anything and then again, I am not that terminally online to believe that I have a skillbar over my head named WRITING SKILLS that gets higher and higher whatever I write.
Its enjoyable. That's it. It's just fun.
And there is something more to it.
I've already completed another project at around 170k words, a year+ ago. Once done, there is a minute moment at the end, where you finish the last word, you finish the last go-through, reread, whatever and you put the pages down.
And just like that, there is this intimate breath of air that comes around your lungs. A weight is lifted, but this mass is not bound to a barbell, or a wire, or a hook, or even the painful migraine that makes of a day impossible to trudge through. It is as if within every cell that binds your body together, a small speck of focus dissipates. Once this breath is in, you loosen up around the throughstreams, untighten in your memory and it just feels peaceful. It is as if mere smile hides a much greater pleasure underneath, waiting to be enjoyed to fullness and then back at it again you start another project anew.
As for the project, I am quite pleased with most parts. Not sure how much I've overshot with the extremity of each fight, but the point is to outdo the previous action chapter. By the time chapter 27 is done, there should be only four fights left. The only thing to avoid here is a fight that is lesser in action to those that passed.
Once again, the parts that I am not pleased with is the start. Might be the reason why the project isn't getting more traction, but then again I haven't tried to go far and wide spreading the word. Whoops.
This is the reason why I feel as writing the first chapters again. Should be done after finishing the entire thing most likely.
Should be getting some artwork as well. There is too much fashion left to mere words alone, if you feel like drawing anything, hit us up. We will be more than eager to commission PAID stuff (leaning towards powerarmor/ mecha/ extreme fashion drawings).
