I need to hire a ghostwriter for fight sequences. Also it's incredibly hard to write Warhammer 40k fiction if you can't write fight scenes for shit. Also also it's hard to write 40k fiction if you can't bring yourself to write kinda purple. I feel like my lede graf in this thing I'm working on is RIDICULOUS but I might be oversensitive to purpleness in my prose. (The bits I've posted about Fimimunda are ridiculous. This is unrelated to them and is in fact part of my Ridiculous World-Building Project That Came Into Existence Solely To Justify My Chemical Romance's Black Parade Uniforms)

THE PARAGRAPH IN QUESTION:
Flarelight fell in intermittent stripes through shattered holes in the great stone wall; fragments of stained glass still clung in places to what was left of windowframes, pouring patches of color onto the scene below. The building had once been a transit terminal; now it was a charnel-house.
HOW CAN PEOPLE TAKE THEMSELVES SERIOUSLY WRITING THINGS LIKE THIS

And then my little fireteam of ELITE GUARDSMEN spend the whole thing swearing at each other and smarting off on the voxcasters because I can't maintain srs

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I AM SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW

So my acoustic guitar needed new strings like HELLA BAD like I'm talking one of the strings had the fucking wrapping uncoiling off it it was that old and shitty because I don't take care of my babies like I should and shit right

So I go to Mundt Music and there's a 2-for-1 on Ernie Balls and hey I like Ernie Ball strings I use Super Slinkies on my bass and the Earthwood packaging looks hella authentic I'll get some and then grab a set of Super Slinkies for the electric while I'm at it

And they have four different widths and I'm not sure what to get so I get the second-to-the-smallest because I don't want to get something that's too wide and snap the neck of the damn thing nor do I want to get the smallest ones and then find out that they're too small because I prefer the sound from thicker strings, right

WELL FOR ONE THING APPARENTLY THE OLD STRINGS WERE SPUN OF FUCKING GOSSAMER AND DREAMS BECAUSE EVEN THE LIGHT ONES I GOT ARE WIDER THAN THE OLD ONES

BUT HERE'S THE PART THAT PISSED ME OFF

AFTER THE LABOR-INTENSIVE AND HIGHLY ANNOYING PROCESS OF GETTING ALL THE STRINGS ON I FINALLY GO TO TUNE IT
AND AS I TRY TO TUNE THE LOW E
THE FUCKING BRIDGE PIN POPS OUT
AND I TRY THREE TIMES TO FIX IT
AND THE BRIDGE PIN KEEPS POPPING OUT
AND EVENTUALLY THE FUCKING BRIDGE PIN'S HEAD BROKE OFF
I'M SO MAD
SO MAD
SO MAD

AND THE STORE IS CLOSED NOW SO I CAN'T GO GET A REPLACEMENT PIN

NOR AM I SURE HOW TO KEEP THIS PROBLEM FROM RECURRING WITH THE NEW PIN ALTHOUGH HOPEFULLY JUST GETTING A NEW PIN WILL HELP BECAUSE MAYBE THE PIN WAS WORN OR SOMETHING SINCE THIS IS A V OLD PIECE OF SHIT GUITAR AND ONE OF THE PINS HAS BEEN REPLACED ALREADY
