00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
For February 25th, 2024, this is my 10 minute writing session on chapter 15 of Our Grow Bug Tale.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
This is part 1 of chapter 15 I'm writing.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
And I'm going to read to you what I wrote tonight.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
This is all off the top of my head, basically on my prompts and based off my notes and everything else.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Again, if I didn't make it clear earlier, this is M.J. Munoz's author who's documenting his work as he makes it.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
So here we go.

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
The orange-furred creature stepped out of the frayed and torn threads that had bound it.

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
As the remains of the cocoon fell away, it became clear that the creature was very much like a grasshopper.

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Its steps were slow and uncertain.

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
It stumbled over the mound of earth that had been displaced as it had rapidly grown and emerged.

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
A voice startled the creature, and it flinched, then froze.

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
You can't fool me by standing still.

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
All my senses indicate exactly where you are, and they are telling me you might be dangerous to the denizens of Critterbot Island.

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Please identify yourself or prepare to be destroyed, the strange voice said.

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
The creature remained silent.

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,000
It turned its eyes from side to side until they caught on a sphere of light that pulsed and circled it.

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
I remember a pause there.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:20,000
So I don't know that I actually want to do a commentary on this running as I'm making it because I don't know that I want to do it.

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:28,000
I will say a little bit, which is that I just I need to establish a widget at this moment.

20
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000
I noticed that I didn't have widget identified here, and I guess I'll have to add that in the next section.

21
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:48,000
And I'd established these Squeak Miner characters earlier from a previous chapter, three or four chapters ago, I think, who had seen the creature emerging, this grasshopper creature emerging.

22
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Excuse me. And they were going to go run off and tell the Critterbot Guardians that he was there or that there was some creature there stirring the peace.

23
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:09,000
And they wanted assistance. And I'm actually thinking now that I'm going to have widget, which is the AI voice character, shiny, glowing blob thing, call the Critterbot Guardians.

24
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
But I figured it would work that both the Squeak Miner family went and told the Critterbot Guardians, or at least they went to.

25
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
And widget has like a direct electronic connection, communication connection to them and can call them there.

26
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:29,000
That makes a little more sense. I'm still not 100% sure all of what widget does, but I think keeping things soft and flexible makes the most sense.

27
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
So I guess that's just what I'm going to do.

28
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,000
I hope you enjoyed that. Go to MJMunoz.com to leave any questions, comments or other feedback you might have.

32
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:21,000
This has been a story over everything production.
