IWSG July '26

 

    Someday, I will learn how to title posts effectively.  Unfortunately, today is not that day.

I'm not at my best right now; I've had a (fairly mild) headache for almost two weeks at this point.  I need to go to like the Urgent Care center or something, but in the middle of a heat wave on a sunny day is...well, I have serious heat issue, so I can't go unless someone drives me, and my ride is busy today, so...tomorrow, hopefully.  (Which will be "today" when this post actually posts.)

Uh.

Anyway.

I think the suggested topic was about changes we would want to make to the publishing industry.

As I am determinedly an amateur writer, I don't have any contact with the publishing industry as a writer, but there is something I'd like to change as a reader!

I'm not sure when--just in the last few years, I think--someone decided that colons should be followed by capital letters, and it is driving me up the freaking wall.  It's so wrong--no, so stupid!  It's the same sentence, so why would it be capitalized?

I know that's pointless and shallow, but...

...I don't have much to say about my own writing, as my game jam VN script has turned into a slow slog through a not-jam VN script (because the concept didn't actually fit the jam) and other than that I've only been working on proofreading past works and planning future ones, so...there just isn't much to say.
