It hurts before and during every storm, rain, and snow

Stiff knees have a hard time balancing your weight, meaning going down stairs is not only more painful but far more difficult than going up. I don't know the math, but thems the rules

Many conditions don't solely come with pain and fatigue, but also sudden muscle weakness. Something that wasn't heavy yesterday now is!

Pain can range from dull and persistent, to sharp and spotty. From personal experience, muscle pain hurts the least, then joint/bones, then neuropathy. Of course they can all hurt a ton

Migraines also cause dizziness, nausea, light sensitivity, snowy vision, blurry vision, and seeing halos/aura

Your pain tolerance becomes stronger since you're always in pain

This also means describing pain is much more difficult

Inflammation turns pressure into pain, even down to one's salivary glands stinging from the pressure of salivating

Standing is exhausting

Sitting is less exhausting

Horizontal time is the least exhausting

Sleep disorders become more common

Spending time on the same task for too long equals pain and stiffness

The Coke-Can

And I mean this in every part of writing.

I’ve spent HOURS stuck on sentences I didn’t want to revise, chapters I didn’t want to admit didn’t fit into my narrative, even whole PLOTLINES that I had previously mapped out.

The point is, if you’re stuck because it feels wrong, it feels wrong for a reason.

So this is a fun project I've been working on!

This is an archive of as many transcribed Lovestruck episodes as I can do

Basically, I created a tool to automatically transcribe episodes for my Love & Legends recreation, and since I had access to some other Lovestruck episodes, why not try do them all?

Feel free to read these or use them in your own recreations. Obviously, all credit goes to the original writers (I have included the known writers in a spreadsheet) so DON'T RESELL THESE OR USE IN COMMERICAL PROJECTS. This is just for archival and fan project purposes

I have more detailed notes in the Archive Status spreadsheet, but this transcription is not perfect. Be sure to check them yourself if you want to use them:

All scripts have some noise, repeated lines, incomplete lines, and misspellings

I could not transcribe a handful of routes due to a lack of black box in the recording

I did not have every route downloaded so some transcriptions aren't separated by episode

MC names have not been changed from the recordings. These names can overlap with canon characters and change between episodes

Choices are not included due to using a single recording per route

Hi All,

This is NOT an April Fool's joke even though I'm posting it April 1st.

I have a new project I'm working on, probably the biggest I've ever attempted. It's a book about writing low resource/field medicine.

I'm hoping to rough draft a chapter a month, and I want to be held accountable. The chapters are too big to fit into posts, so I'm posting them to a Google doc.

New chapters drop the first of the month. You can read them here:
