Ending today at 15,044 words. Gonna need to think about what happens next a bit to keep my momentum.

@PDXBOTC 100%, it's a small thing but it is so nice.

#introduction

Hi, I'm Lindsay! I'm a software engineer and mom. Online I typically am talking about something related to web development (I do functional programming at work with Elm and Haskell) and whatever project I'm working on.

Most recently, I've been digging more into game design. I've been working on my own card game called "Star Commander" for some years, and it's recently reached a very presentable state. Also into Magic, D&D, and other games.

Also do a lot of writing. Hello!

Got to 13,512 words! May have sped up the plot a bit too much, hopefully I can bring it back to the right speed tomorrow. Need to pace things to make the goal.

@ben Feeling a bit stressed out for Oregon too, here's hoping for the best for both of us 🤞

Resharing for Mastodon folks, this week's edition of the Elm Weekly Newsletter:

https://www.elmweekly.nl/issues/elm-weekly-issue-238-1436712

@robinheghan sci fi about a family getting caught up in political intrigue between major interstellar governments.

Up to 11,700! Time to rest.

Got to 11,232 words, I think I'll wrap up today's goal before bed.

@ben This is a side project that initially formed during high school, and kicked off in 2010. Over 12 years in the making, I am so excited right now!

Ordered a new copy of Star Commander, estimated arrival looks like it might be a Christmas present to myself. Looking forward to unboxing my own card game!

@PDXBOTC sci fi novel based in the world of Star Commander, a family on board a freighter gets pulled into a political situation between the major governments.

And there we go, rounded out the scene to 10,026!

@jordanherron Welcome to the party!

Almost made it! Got to 9,979 words, and should have some more time before I go to sleep. Back on track!

@kyleshevlin @sia I’ve got a secondary account on twit.social, I just don’t want to migrate and they seem to be having trouble too. Guessing it’s a general growing pain right now, but I also am liking the slower pace.

@kyleshevlin agreed mostly, but I wish I could load and upload images faster, keep not seeing them in posts and I keep getting timeouts when I try to upload my own.

I think the best part of being on Mastodon so far is not having to see hot takes about Tailwind any more.

Dear iPhone auto complete: I do not know Toni, I have never written that name, and do not see a reason to start. Please stop replacing “tonight” as I move my finger to press it. Thank you!

Still behind, but I got to 8449 words this morning. Will try to fit in some more writing later today. Action is about to set in, so that should help.
