The glasses glimmer like disco balls, beckoning their victims to come get poisoned. No matter where I look, the crystal glimmers at me, trying to blind me and make me slip. Make me give in. Make me take the deadly shot.

N. WS. Jokela, more commonly known as WindySilver, is a Finnish programmer and a hobbyist artist fighting a war against procrastination on the losing side. When her free time is not taken up by things like reading, procrastination, video games, watching series or more procrastination, she mainly writes sci-fi fanfiction and original flash fiction of various genres. While she dabbles in a lot of things ranging from digital art to jewelry to plants to whatever catches her interest, writing is her persistent forte.
You should not give her yet another crazy flash fiction challenge to take part in because she simply cannot say "no" to it.
FFM 2022 1: Is this the last one?
We stared at the command center. This, apparently, was the last known source of commands for the mechs. If we blew it up, we might be able to finally prevail over the mechs.
Currently on art: Q2 2022 stats, FFM incoming and a lot to say
Hi everyone! It's once again time for a statistic-bringing Currently on art update. This time, however, I also want to discuss a lot of other stuff as this half-quarter has been particularly eventful when it comes to notable things I want to talk about. Hence, this one will be a massive one.
The Journey’s End is out!
I am glad to announce that my Prose-ject flash fiction collection, The Journey's End, is now out!
Currently on art: The coming of summer
Hi everyone! We're once again halfway through the quarter, so it's time for another Currently on art update. This time, it'll be a short one.
Currently on art: Q1 2022 stats, materialism and archiving
Hi everyone! The first quarter of 2022 is now at its end. Had I been told when the year changed what this quarter would entail, I wouldn't have believed it.
Currently on art: Hard at work
It's been over 1.5 months since the previous Currently on art update, so it's about time I sat down and got around to writing another one. The previous weeks have been super busy as I've had two big courses with big software projects to work on partially simultaneously. Now that the other one is over, things are getting a bit lighter, although the other one is still eating most of my time (the workload required is as good as a part-time job), which meant that I had to drop my Japanese course on its third week. I'll hopefully be able to retake that course during the summer months (or self-study enough to skip it).
Currently on art: Q4 2021 – end of the year (in which I go on a tangent on datahoarding) & new releases
It's the last day of 2021 (as of writing on my timezone).
Linux Gaming is Easier Than You Thought
Currently on art: …not much
About a month ago, I talked about how my timetables were a mess and I was scraping by with the deadlines. I also hoped that by either this or the next statistics post (which will be at the end of the year) I can look back on that post and say that things turned out all right. Well, can I say it now?
