My crazy plan

If you know me for a while you will know that every now and then I'll come up with a crazy idea... That I eventually will give up on.

Today I'm gonna talk about the new insane thing that came to my mind.

Since I'm drowning in uni assingmnets but want to show off my insanity here's what I'm gonna do.

Speedrun uni work for 6 days and then speedrun NaNo for 7.

What ya think?

In all seriousnes I'm going to try this 😂 I've pulled off crazy shit before, why not do it now too?

For this to happen I will go on a semi-log off. I usually try to interact with people I like but for this to happen I will not do that till the end of November.

I did not suddenly stop liking you, I'm just stupid. I will still reply and upload but won't seek the connection.

If you ever text me during November note that I will try and use you as a procrastination tool 😂

And this probably will continue after NaNo. I want to change my habits and become more productive. I scroll pointlessly too much. And I don't like that.

It’s been on my mind for a while. It's just that I got inspired to really do it now.

So yeah. Productive Saline on the horizon!

I'm also lowkey freaking out for my December session. We're learning shit, I don't know how I'm gonna pull this off.

I might do a post with my goals just for the sake of posting something.

Unus Annus

If you don't know what this means and your turning to the translator I will stop you right now.

It means "One year". But not only that. Unus Annus was a channel that Mark (markiplier) and Ethan (crankgameplays) created and deleted after a year. They uploaded daily for an entire year. Didn't miss a day.

I've watched all the videos and was there for the last two hours of their live stream. 

The lesson was to be there in the moment because one day you might be sorry that you were not. Like this channel. If you were not there when it happened you can't go and watch the videos now. They are all gone.

But that's not the point of this 😂 I wanted to talk about the channel for a moment because it was something special. That had a point. It was created to be deleted. 

A lot of people got the idea of it and I did as well. I know what they did. I was there and watched it develope. But. I still haven't felt it. Like you know how an advice hits different when you feel what it's like? That's what I mean.

And the thing is, I won't feel it until I try it. So I will try it. 

Memento mori. Unus annus.

I broke a promise

I ones became obsessed with outlining and so I tried planing my WIP.

I made lists, figured out plot points, connected different events. I went all in on that detective roll.

I later scrapped all that with one dialogue line. But that's not the point of this post. 

One of the lists that I made was "Immune characters" this means characters that will survive the series. It included the four MCs and one secondary character (mainly because they already died ones).

I never thought that when the plot burned down that this list will also go to ashes.

The character at the top of the list. The one that was supposed to be immortal, never go ill, or face harm. The one that ones was immune to my touch is now going to die.

My readers will be in tears if they read this. And I'm sure they'll try to deny it. I know I'm not mentioning names and gender but they will know who I'm talking about. 

There will be another death before this one but still. I will be crying as well for that character.

I send a screenshot to one of them and the reaction was, I quote "NO! YOU'RE EVIL! BAD! YOU NO TOUTCH THE BEBÉS!"

I hate to break it to you, but yes. I touch bebés, and I toutch bad. 

What is something you never thought you will write? 

Till next time hammer-on and jam along!

Talking about my coffee addiction

If you're one of the few people that view my story you know that I drink a lot of coffee. And today I'm going to tell you about how I got here.

It all started when I was a little menace, standing there menacingly. My grandma was watching over me that one time, left her coffee on the sink and made the mistake of leaving me alone in the room. And what did Sal do? Oh, let me tell ya. She grabbed a chair, grabbed that thing and dragged it on the floor creating a high pitched sound of true terror that could make your ears bleed. Then climbed up to sink level and took the cup in her hands. And then? Saline downed the whole thing in one go. Yup.

Then she returned everything to its original place and continued with her things as if there wasn't a dose of caffeine energizing her entire living.

Grandma came back, noticed her drink is gone and knew exactly what happened. It is not that hard to put two and two together. In this case a kid that has a hard time staying still and an empty cup of coffee that was full ten minutes ago. 

This is the start of the journey. 

I've been told by my mother that I used to go around the table and try everyone's coffee. I don't remember this clearly but I do recall something like that.

And just to be clear. I didn't start drinking coffee from a young age. Those were the two single things that had happened.

I actually started drinking coffee at 15. Me and my mom were making each other nescafe. This is what I liked for a solid year and I was not functioning on four cups a day. I was drinking coffee every other week. Which is the reasonable way of consuming coffee. But erm... I'm not really the sane kind of person.

One day I just upgraded to clear dark coffee and since then I've been sinking deeper and deeper. Titanic met an iceberg.

And still. No four cups daily. Surprisingly I was still reasonable and drank coffee only on the weekends when I was visiting my grandma. (not the one that left me alone with a cup of coffee on the sink)

This became a thing after I started university this October. 

Now I feel the need to say this. I am not really addicted. I drink coffee when I feel like it. It's not a love-hate relationship. Some may be surprised but I like the taste of coffee. Biter is kinda my thing.

Recently I've been drinking so much coffee because I want to. Not because I feel the need to. There's a fine line between addiction and normal want that I believe I still haven't crossed.

So tell me, what is your addiction?

Till next time hammer-on and jsm along!

The magnifying glass

If you follow my instagram activity you'll know what I'm talking about.

Recently I mentioned that it was gifted to me with a joke and today I'm going to tell you what it is.

Before I started wearing glasses (I have astigmatism, low percent) I always kept the phone close to my eyes. My grandpa started joking that he was gonna get me a magnifying glass so that I don't look at the screen this close. To make it even better my writing is really tiny. So the magnifying glass would be needed for two things.

I really took it only as a joke but I guess he sensed that and took it as a personal challenge to make it real. 

Next week when I come for the weekend he hands me that magnifying glass.

Since that moment it has taken some damage on the glass and the base, but it's still usable and in one piece.

This has become a bitter sweet memory with a pain on the heart.

No hammer-on this time, stay safe and get at least two opinions on your health.

My WIPs

I started university and have a shit load of assingments to do so let me procrastinate with this post XD.

Today I will introduce you to my wips. In other words tell you how many drafts I have started and get emberassed about it later. 

Here we go!

1. Newfound Myght 

Status: Not started

-Of course, starting with the main wip. 

Newfound Myght (English edition) is the first book in "The first mages" series. If you follow my blog you know how much this book and the characters in it mean to me.

Here I introduce you to Sarah and her friends. Their journey of reconnecting begins. And while they try to clean the rust off of their friendship they also try to understand a deadly illness that is killing mages. This illness is caused by mages they call "Spell thiefs". They don’t know who these mages are, and they also don't know how to save the ones who are slowly dying. All of this while fighting off demons, who're trying to gain access to the magic portal. 

2. New era 

Status: Draft

-New era is the second book in "The first mages" series. While the first book was about reconnecting with old friends and resolving their problem this book is about finding this friends and fighting a war of magic. While they were trying to solve one problem another was hiding in the shadows and broke them apart. Now the few that are left have to rebuild what was broken and prepare for the big fight which will give the mages power over the demons. Or maybe the demons will take over and enslave all that walks, breaths, and talks.

3. Tales of broken kids

Status: Draft

-Tales of broken kids tells us stories about The first mages. Sarah's years undercover, how Bary got to Mandoned, and how the Heil brothers got to where they are. This book might be perfectly useless but I do have fun telling stories that otherwise would've been only a side info. 

4. The healer, the hunter, and the mesmerist

Status: Draft

-Book one in "Lost magic". The magic, the world around it, and the people affected by it had been gone for so long that the stories about them are just legends almost forgotton in the modern world. There are a few that know the stories. And they're all part of the magic. Recently it's making it's way back into the world. The creatures are being born again, brought back to life by this old era. And the responsibility to find balance with the new changes falls on the shoulders of three strangers. Their problem? They have hard time becoming friends with each other. 

5. Pray with E

Status: Draft

-A standalone (hopefully) where the predator (the Devil himself) plays with his prey for the first time. His favourite victim slowly becomes the person who knows the most about him and the only one he's comfortable with sharing what his life before becoming the Devil was like.

While he slowly accepts that he will never be able to kill Prey her hope for life slowly fades away.

6. Raffael and the red wolf

Status: Draft

-As the title says this is a book about Raffael and his red wolf. If he had a choice he would've had a dog. But he broke a law. Him and Wolf both used forbidden magic, which leaves a permanent mark. To escape a death sentense Raffael takes the wolf and runs away.

Now what did we find out? That I have a problem XD.

How many wips do you have? And what are they about?

Till next time Hammer-on and Jam along!
