Missed a month, but I assure y'all...

...still here. Decided to try NaNoWriMo. Unless the writing muse decides to descend upon me, and how, in the next...:checks time: three hours, I am not going to win it. On the bright side, I've got nearly 35K more words on my original fic than I started.

Watched SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS. Enjoyed it more than I expected, so that was nice. (I am a wee bit cynical about Marvel movies. When they're enjoyable, they're enjoyable, formula and all! But sometimes, they're just not, and formula will not excuse them.)

congrats on a bunch of new words, even if you didn't hit the goal. that's an accomplishment!

Mostly it proved to myself that I've got a decent story here, and to keep working!

35K is amazing, congrats! 🥳

And yesss Shang-Chi was so much better than I expected too! I was internally bracing for disappointment despite the Asian cast, hahaha.

Thank you! And yeah, I was worried - I am Not Invested in the connecting plot, so I regard anything from the MCU with wariness.

Words are good.

I offer this commentary on the bus scene by a bus driver, it is great. https://twitter.com/that_mc/status/1459613123590066180

That is hilarious and awesome.

I am glad that you enjoyed it. I am not into most of the MCU, but I loved "Black Panther". I want to see Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, but have not found the time to watch it (or any other film recently).

Hey, no judgement on not getting around to films - if not for friends and Wife, I feel like I'd never get around to watching any films whatsoever.
