I have spent the entire weekend plotting and doing design for this goddamned story.

I have just done one (1) render. This is a token, like paying an attorney a dollar so you can say he's hired, or that kind of thing. So I can say I have actually begun work on the story this weekend.

No, of course the two days of plot doesn't count as having begun work on the story. Haven't you been listening? The renders, son. The renders. The fucking renders. The story is now basically written, but the renders will take nearly a month. The clock begins ticking now and it's already the fourth of October.

I swear to god, I wish people still read things. Then I could make these stories without the pictures and save a lot of time and effort.

(Nah. I exaggerate because I'm tired and this plot was somewhat frustrating. In fact, I think it's gonna look pretty good and be worth the time ... and honestly, I'm glad for the pictures because there's going to be some shit in this story I'm not sure I could describe verbally and do it justice. But I do wish I could just snap my fingers and have them materialize straight out of my head.)

(Anybody who tries "Hey, you write good, why don't you just use that talent prompting a generative image tool" is gonna get banned. From everything. From existence.)
