I don't know how people say they only take a couple of drafts to complete a story. I want to say that it takes me at least four plus drafts to have a basic idea of what I want. I just call them predrafts. Draft 1 is when I have a coherent story from start to finish but it might still be in flux.
God I'm with you on this.
That must feel incredible. I hope a good incredible? Haha. I can't wait to see what other stories you might have inside you.
Which means I get to write about my little ranger-mouse and my wizard-cat and I'm really looking forward to very light, very fun storytelling. I've even been reading a lot of MG novels lately so it really fits with my vibe.
Hoping that this works.
I've been so down and so desperate searching for jobs lately that I've not even been able to write anything. I've been playing a lot of Stardew Valley (maybe too much) and watching endless youtube
Tomorrow I'm going to try to get back into writing. I'm going to focus on my MG story instead of my YA
It's close enough to Easter and anyways who says pickled eggs are only supposed to be an Easter thing? 🤤
Never received a call. I'm going to take the silence as rejection and accept the loss. 😢
I called the job and was told they would be reaching out by end of business today to let all applicants know of the results.
So today is a waiting game.
... if anyone needs me I'm going to be playing Stardew Valley and trying not to freak out.
God I want this job.
In other, happier news, my library just received a bunch of books that I'd asked them to order. They won't be ready for a few weeks but soooo excited. So glad that they try to order books for me. XD
Finished a book (Magyk, children's book, loved it). And played Subnautica until my thumbs hurt after taking a super hot shower.
Feeling better but very tired. Going to try to make tomorrow a good day and focus on getting some writing done.
Been crying all day and now I have a seriously bad headache. God I'm so pathetic.
Going to the library to write tomorrow. Try to get my mind off of things even if for only an hour.
This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)
Well, I didn't get the sales job. And when I called the job I really want they said "we had a lot of job applicants" and they wouldn't know until possibly the end of the week.
I'm not too hopeful.
So I guess the search continues.
😢
I dunno what I'm going to do next month for my car insurance.
Called the one job I really want and they told me they should know by end of week and that they'd had many applicants. I doubt the odds are good.
The sales position asked me to call back in the afternoon so I'll call later then.
Still not heard anything. I think I'll call both jobs back on Monday. I don't know what the proper protocol is. My sister thinks I should just wait.
My sisters came over today briefly. Kind of annoyed with them. I dont think either of them expect that I actually landed the secretary job. Like its not something I could achieve. "The sales job sounds nice. Hopefully they'll respond."
Now I hope to get the job if only to prove it to the.
For my valentine's day I get my two little nieces. 🥰
I hope your day will be as wonderful as mine!
I survived!
My stomach hurts from all this anxiety. I definitely want the first job but I dont think I will hate this one. Though I'm not thrilled about being stuck in a other sales position.
Second interview incoming.... 😵💫
Just got to get through this....
I survive! One interview down one more to go.
But I really liked the job today. I really want it. I dunno if they will consider me skilled enough tho. Fingers crossed
Ive been studying interview questions all day while also taking long breaks to keep my anxiety down. I need this job and I actually kind of want this job. I feel like its probably way out of my league though.
I just pray I dont freeze up or blank out.
I am now struggling not to freak out while also trying to study interview questions online cuz the last time I had a job interview I was fresh out of community college at the ripe age of 29.
OMG.... I posted too soon...
I GOT A SECOND INTERVIEW!!
Months of nothing and NOW TWO?!
OMG please let me not fuck these up!
I woke up this morning and all I did was feel like sitting and not moving and just played Stardew Valley all day long. And I just focused on not thinking.
Really need a job. I've sent out so many resumes that I don't even remember what all I've applied for. If I don't get one by next month I've no idea what I'm going to do.
I'm so embarrassed and I just feel like such a failure right now.
A Statement from the Red Hook Founders When we founded Red Hook, our goal was to support ourselves while making a game of our own dreams. Simple to describe, but not easy. We knew the difficulty, of course, because we had previously worked on other projects at other companies. We had seen our share of canceled games, failed games, or games that were good but couldn’t find a large audience. 10 years ago, on Jan 19th, 2016, Darkest Dungeon was “completed” and released as 1.0. It was immediately clear that we had bottled lightning. Back in the pre-release days, we didn’t dare to entertain the fantasy that our work would resonate to the extent it has, or find such a passionate and creative audience. But it did. As we reflect upon this 10 year run (11 if you include early access), the fullness of time has made us realize that connecting with you, the audience, proved to be one of the most fulfilling and thrilling parts of the entire dungeon crawl. Thanks to you and your perseverance, the game wasn’t just flash in the pan. This game about resilience showed its own resilience. A hardscrabble and mean game about making the best of a bad situation created an incredibly good situation for us and the development team. We are so grateful for everyone who has ever engaged with Darkest Dungeon over the years - whether by playing, making art, filming let’s plays and guides, getting yourself tattooed, writing, posting, commenting, and of course critiquing. (And yes, we love reading about the occasional party wipe due to spiders. Patently unfair, but always funny.) Whether you have been with us since the days of Kickstarter or just completed the tutorial yesterday (hopefully Reynauld and Dismas both survived), we are happy you are here. And stay tuned - we're not out of the dungeon yet. This expedition, at least, promises success. –The Ancestor –Chris Bourassa and Tyler Sigman
Happy Birthday Darkest Dungeon!
Red Hook Studios co-founders Chris Bourassa and Tyler Sigman have shared the following message to mark the 10th anniversary of Darkest Dungeon’s 1.0 release.
