Weekly Update 82

And then another week arrived. Hopeful, energetic, it waited patiently for you to open the door. Welcome back (or welcome for the first time to) Seth Oberlender’s weekly update. This is the part of the internet where I, Seth Oberlender, keep you updated on my journey to authorship by way of agent representation.

So far, I have not gotten an offer of representation. One day that message will change, but that day is not today. Still, I write, and still, it is hard and rewarding in a way that doesn’t feel that rewarding. I kid; writing is rewarding. When all the rejections compound it tends to alter how I view my current writing prowess. Still, I continue.

Ghost of Tsushima was on sale on Steam! I have had Ghost on my wish lists for holidays for years now and I am so glad I had the chance to finally get it. I heard great things about it and I am glad to say it has lived up to the hype. I actually have a lot to say about it, so I won’t. Not here anyway. I thought of a fun writing project around the game so we’ll see if I follow through with it… in case I don’t, I will leave my take here: it’s a great game, and I believe it will go down as one of my all-time favorites.

And then the update was over. I hope one day I can start one of these with great news, I hope that day is closer. I know, it must be closer, that’s how time works. I mean I hope I am “over the hump.” I hope that I have already survived the longest stretch of not getting representation. I hope I am in the back half of waiting. Only time will tell. See you next week, I hope you treat this one well.
