Today I tried to come up with a good name for the thing I've been working on. My first thought was golem, but then I realized that the reason it was my first thought was because I read about it in the book, which I also need a new name for. Every other name I could think of either didn’t sound right or was already something that exists. Eventually, the name Ent came to me and, after confirming it wasn’t something that already existed, It sounds right for some reason. From now on I will refer to this massively upgraded puppet as an Ent.

The progress I made on the Ent was more of yesterday, though I am getting quicker. It should be a week or less before I am able to move on to the next major step. It feels great to be able to consistently make progress on something.

I realized something today, I’m still wearing the armor I make from plants instead of actual clothes. The only time I take it off is to clean myself, as cleaning or changing it can be done with a little magic, but even that short period of time leaves me feeling vulnerable. And thinking along those lines the idea of fighting, especially by proxy, appalls me. I guess I can’t deal with that kind of trauma by burying it under hard work, however fascinating that work is.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
