Weekly Update 18
Weekly update 18
Hello everyone! You guessed it: more “no’s” and no “yeses.” I am not going to lie; it is getting hard to accept rejection after rejection, especially on top of some things happening in my personal life. But I continue. I have decided to restart the query train by jumping stations. My book is a science fiction adventure, so I feel confident in querying the agents who are focused on adventure titles instead of science fiction exclusively. It might be a smidge dishonest, but I want to try as many avenues as possible. The worst they can say is “no.”
In my personal life, I have done little more than work. But I did one major thing I am proud of: I beat Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild!
This is big because I have played upwards of eight different Legend of Zelda games in my career as a “gamer” (hate that word) but I never finished them. Something about the format didn’t mesh with me despite how much I enjoyed the world and characters. Breath of the Wild is way more different than the others. I played that game like crazy when I first got my Switch, but I stopped playing right at the entrance to Hyrule Castle. I conquered every divine beast, visited every shrine, and did every major side quest to the point where I felt like I did everything I wanted to before facing Ganon. Back then I knew the gravity of the situation so I decided to take a break so that a game that blew me away (it is one the best games ever made, hands down) could last a bit longer. Since the sequel, Tears of the Kingdom is set to release in a few weeks, I decided to sit down and finish what I started.
The fight with Ganon didn’t take long. What took longer was relearning the controls after years of not touching the game and figuring out how to parry those annoying laser blasts. But after years of trying and trying and trying to save Zelda, I finally banished Ganon with the blade of evil’s bane. It was very emotional, especially when Zelda looked into the camera and said something to the extent of “It took a long time, but we did it.” In the story of the game, this fight with Ganon was one hundred years in the making. But those words rang true in my heart because after years of stopping three dungeons deep into game after game I finally rescued Zelda and killed Ganon. Little Seth is very proud of me.
I can’t wait to play Tears of the Kingdom, but I might have to put that game on the back burner for a bit. In addition to Jedi Survivor (goodness I want to play that game) because I might be moving very soon. I look forward with a deep sense of dread.
And that is it for this update, now I am off to harass more agents and hope they say yes. I will see you all next week!
