7/2 do you think people will find your MC likable?

For a sort of detective, the answer is: hopefully just a little bit. He's a violent killer and most of his problems are his own fault. But at the same time, he's trying to do the right thing in a world where that is VERY hard.

Wanted to share this discord server I made to collect feedback for the novel I've been working on little by little, and discuss the dark themes and IRL parallels.

Link to the public draft within :3 discord.gg/VutEV8pT

I played “Huntdown” today. That’s a great Run’n’Gun game by the Indy studio Easy Trigger. It plays a bit like Metal Slug but comes with Blade Runner aesthetics. Lean back and watch me restore law and order in dystopia: twitch.tv/videos/1776470820

So today a new friend shared a picture with me: his young son reading my book. Apparently the kid found it in the seatback pocket in the car, and was sounding out words to his dad on a drive. Nevermind the highly inappropriate level of violence in my novel, my heart grew three sizes today.

@IsobelLynn Thanks - I hope you're right! I'm still erring on the side of the dramatic, and maybe it sounds funny, but I do want my with fantasy magic to be... let's say partially grounded in real science.

Day 16: What can be found on your MC’s bedside table or near their bed?

Gash has been displaced for a long time, fleeing WalCo corporate assassins after a botched job. But, in classic or in this case fashion, you could find a bottle of scotch and a handgun near at hand wherever he lays his head.

GUYS. I just finished the alpha draft of my third novel a / sequel to Colossus. It's the longest I've written, at 83,000 words (I have undiagnosed adult so for me this is CRAZY long). I wrote it in 4 months. For perspective, it took two years to write the rough draft of Colossus.

Will need tons of editing to get it to beta reader status, and another who knows how long after that to get it ready for publishers... but it feels GOOD.

My WiP is a sequel to my first novel, Colossus, and is a more take on the cyberpunk genre, as it focuses on Nagash Jensen, a private investigator who also happens to be a vampire.

If you haven't looked at it already, I suggest:

"TH1RTE3N' (aka "Black Man") by Richard Morgan (2007).

@orangepeelbeef technoir it’s hardboiled cyberpunk. But I like the Adjectives driven system, that forces a back and forth you have to take some knocks before you have the push dice to make big moves.

Bar fight scenes are fun to write. Especially when the bad guy is seven feet tall with enhanced strength fiber reinforced bones.
