《Black Onyx - Forgotten Magic》Announcement!

So, apparently, I have to write at least 500 words here... Might as well say a few words...
Well, over the last 2-3 years I have written my first story, 500.00+ words and it has now come to an end. But fear not, for your boy here will do his best to write more! Free of charge! For everyone and their mother to see!
I gradually became better at writing, now capable of writing an amazing 1000 words every single day without my brain combusting! Such achievement! Much wow!
But on a more serious note, for the most part, I wrote 500 words every day so some chapters were really short because of that. Now I will try to double that speed, to about 7.000 words every week, in the form of three chapters, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
I rarely have any plans for the story and I mostly just spew out whatever comes to mind. Still, while I try to be consistent I sometimes have to go back and change a detail or two, without disrupting the story.
Unfortunately, this sometimes means I get stuck and don't know how to continue, or I branch out the story in many directions and then see where it takes me.
I have tried organizing and thinking of a plot, but unless it's very vague in my mind, I usually fuck it up. It's funny how some things sound so much better in my head, but when they come out on the screen they become a mess. There were so many scenes that worked great in my mind that I just abandoned them later because they came out as trash.
Eventually, I stopped trying to plan since nothing ever went as I wanted it to, and am now just writing what comes to mind, like this thing right now, for example.

And I rarely rewrite anything, so it is a miracle my work wasn't an even bigger mess than it already was. The fact that I kept the characters on the low side probably helped with that, because I can't write them for shit, as you have already noticed.
Fight scenes, no problem. Story? Meh, I'll manage. Conversations and interpersonal relationships? Fucking kill me!
I wonder if this is 500 words already?
Guess what?! It is!
Bye!

I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)
