Reading is Fundemental, and sometimes occurs in a dungeon.

So, uh, you know I write stuff, right? I mean, I write stuff here, sure, but I write some other stuff too? Sometimes? Maybe? And then the college has this reading series, and people say I should read there, so I do. Yep.

So yeah, the readings were actually scheduled at a time where I could go to them this year. So I signed up and said “hey, I’ll do the first one!” And then I did the first one on Friday.

Overall, it went pretty alright, I think. I read some poetry I had written about Persona 3 and 4 (Well, sort of written about them. Not completely. Either way, I am a huge nerd for doing it) and then I read my Clockwork God story which is not really about a clockwork god. There was applause. I was pulled aside to point out that one of my lines of dialog in the story was great (“How goes your questionable plan?”) and that he’d have to use it, which was flattering.

In general, though… I don’t know. I think I do good work. People tell me I do good work. But I never really get anything out there. I suppose it’s good to present at this sort of thing for that reason. But man, I really should be submitting things for publication.
Then again, that’s just one more thing I “should” be doing. I’ve got enough stressors. Which is why I don’t do it.
But I should!
Probably!
