#WritingMonth check-in.

How is everyone doing?

I wrote a short prologue for my novel tonight. I have had this scene involving soda in my mind for a long time. After a bit of research, I found I can legally refer to Mountain Dew in the context of this vignette.

@nantucketlit @amin @bbbhltz @rl_dane @adhemara @roguefoam I've written a grand total of 71 words of my 10,000 word goal.

I need to sit down and write some more.

@orbitalmartian @amin @bbbhltz @rl_dane @adhemara @roguefoam What's your novel about, if you don't mind sharing?
@nantucketlit @amin @bbbhltz @rl_dane @adhemara @roguefoam To be completely honest, I don't even know. The start that I've got is inspired by Star Trek.
@nantucketlit @amin @bbbhltz @rl_dane @adhemara @roguefoam Well, I did a bit of writing tonight. Not much but getting there. A whole 14 words, taking my total to 85 words/10,000 word goal.

@rl_dane @nantucketlit @amin @bbbhltz @adhemara @roguefoam Any progress is good progress, I really need to sit down and spend some time writing.

Maybe I need to add a WritingMonth mode to my text editor (which is funnily enough what's been taking my attention from writing).

@orbitalmartian @nantucketlit @amin @bbbhltz @adhemara @roguefoam

Which editor, and what would the mode do? :)

apollo

Apollo is a simple text editor.

Codeberg.org
@amin @rl_dane @orbitalmartian @bbbhltz @adhemara @roguefoam So, once the repo is cloned, how does one use Apollo? I assume that 'make' is used at some point.

@nantucketlit @rl_dane @orbitalmartian @bbbhltz @adhemara @roguefoam

Haven't tried it yet but I assume it's just running "python main.py" at this point, or something like that. There may be dependencies needed, I dunno.

A good long term goal for Orbital may be to use something like hatch to manage dependencies, building the package, etc. I've been moving most of my Python projects to it, including a bunch of Clew's stuff, and plan to move Writing Month to use it.

Hatch - Hatch

Modern, extensible Python project management

@amin @nantucketlit @rl_dane @bbbhltz @adhemara @roguefoam I have no idea about actually packaging it. Currently, the way to use is python main.py. I need to commit a quick change because I forgot that I changed a filename so it's trying to pull an old one through.
@amin @nantucketlit @rl_dane @bbbhltz @adhemara @roguefoam I've pushed the newest code to the main branch including a fix for this filename change :)
@orbitalmartian @amin @rl_dane @bbbhltz @adhemara @roguefoam Should "Save As" bringing up a file window?
@nantucketlit @amin @rl_dane @bbbhltz @adhemara @roguefoam It certainly should, I have just noticed this too, I am trying to troubleshoot it now :D it was working before.
