This format is really cool, and the content is interesting too; thanks for sharing. Making art does indeed feel like screaming into the void sometimes. Also like the thoughts on pain – sometimes it is saying something needs to be fixed; sometimes it’s just part of our lots in life. Thanks for this, look forward to following along with the rest of the month.

I was sort of thinking that you might show up, sometimes anyway. Thanks for commenting. How you've been by the way if you want to share?

Doing well, though creative progress on my overambitious Magnum Opus is on-and-off-again, which is a frustrating feeling. Have indeed been thinking I should show up but am intimidated by games that require lots of skillful and well timed clicking, haha, so this seemed like the perfect place to jump in. How about you?

I'm somewhere in the middle on average. This game project if it could even be called that might help me go in a better direction, but time will show.  What's your Magnum Opus on?

Well, here’s hoping it is helpful for you! …oh boy, the Magnum Opus is hard to describe. I’ve called it “an abusive agnostic romance with God,” which covers a lot of the thematic material despite how flippant it sounds; in terms of genre, there’s a lot of writing and will be more, and it roughly splits into poetry, very fictionalized magical realist memoir, and fantasy novel, and I’m turning it all into a gamelike thing.

So, if I'm understanding correctly, will it cover the complex relationship between a person becoming more and more agnostic and God?

Kind of! I mean the work itself is agnostic: it’s about someone who’s sort of a mystic (the fantasy world basically is God in a metaphor) but there are a lot of questions about how real her experiences/intuitions/whatever are (or in what sense they’re real), and what that means either way

Could be interesting, what has been stopping your progress from being smooth?

Eh, it’s just that I have really ambitious ideas of what I want it to be like so sometimes it’s overwhelming to work on

Would splitting it up into multiple sections work? Focus on one standalone piece at a time and then combine it all together.
