WOAH-OAH, WE'RE HALFWAY THERE, WO-OAH! LIVIN' ON A
Hey gang! It's officially ... slightly-more-than-halfway-through NaNoWriMo. How're you all holding up? Any successes? Struggles? Tales of ennui? Thought it might be nice to check in and see how everyone else is doing :) (I myself am staying just ahead of ...welp.
League of Legends is down. Overwatch is bein' weird. Guess this is the universe's way of telling me to writeSo, I'm Bisexual
This is something I've only realized (or, rather, allowed myself to realize) recently. I guess I feel comfortable posting it here to imzy because imzy is pretty controlled in terms of who can see what you write--and I appreciate that a lot right now. I me...The Day of Much, Much More Woe
Wow. The number of weak, cowardly, spineless Americans, who cling to the comfort that strangles their neighbours, is devastating. I'm so sorry. I have no words, except, if you're reading this, and you feel alone: I'm with you. You matter. You count.The Day Of Woe
IBS episode in the morning. Had to run through the rain to get to the bus. Forgot my jacket. Laptop is updating so I can't do my morning writing till that's done, and it looks like it'll take a while. It's gonna be tough to be peppy today.oh, dragonrise....
So, Beyond the Fire is the Mass Effect fanfic series I write (or at this point it might be more accurate to say wrote) on fanfiction.net. It's presently about three quarters of the way through the second story. And a part of me wants to go back to it.... ...Degrees of Beauty by Cassandra Khaw - Shared from /sff
Thought I'd share a really cool (gory, and disturbing) story by Cassandra Khaw. A nice, quick, bite-sized story to creep you out in the morning (or whatever time of day you're presently experiencing)Snorts
Just realized the main characters of my novel are a bi woman, a lesbian, and a gay man. The Trinity.Burt's Law of Interpreting a Partner's Praise
Given that it's NaNo and I suspect more than a few of us are going "Hey, honey, read this!" I thought I'd share this helpful metric to determine the validity of the response of a (sweet, well-meaning) significant other/friend/etc. who has read your work: ...I have no prophet, but I have Carl Sagan
At least once a day I reflect on the fact that I am in very few ways happy to be a white man. Let me be clear: I don't struggle with gender identity or dysphoria or any of the issues that DMAB gender non-conforming folks do. That's not the kind of thing I...I'm a morning writer, now
So, I've always been someone who wrote late in my day. I liked the idea of writing in the dark by the light of my laptop, yanno. Very cyberpunk. Anyway, I recently started a call center job that means I have to get up at four am for a two hour bus/train r...taz is playing final fantasy x for the first time
watching someone do the cloister puzzles for the first time, as someone who has done them literally dozens of times is fucking surrealWAIT
I read shitloads of short stories. I can review some of the short stories. Victory.I'm a wimp
So I started this blog with the intention of focusing mostly on SFF, especially book reviews. Except the next book I want to review is kind of. Uh. Bad. And I absolutely do not have it in me to give a mean (or even negative) review. So now I need to find ...Woo!
I just finished the not-quite-a-prologue for Shadow of Empyrean! Well, for the second time. but this time, it's hopefully less garbage. Woo!Xi'an Food is the best kind of food
That is all.DumplingGate 2k16
So I was thinking about posting this elsewhere but it seemed inappropriate for anywhere but a personal blog, so.... I have a dilemma. I want dumplings. But to get the dumplings after work I have to turn down the future father-in-law's offer of a ride home...On Joining In
So, Imzy kinda presents an interesting conundrum. Ostensibly, it's a social media platform. But it's clearly pretty tailored to people with established audiences, right? (I.e.: not me, who am I talking to, why am I here, etc. etc.) But it's also incredibl...The Virtues of Hitting the Eject Button
Because sometimes you've got to toss out a few really shitty omelettes to make one good one. Which involves, uh. Breaking a lot of eggs. I'm going somewhere with this, I promise. Recently, I've been reading Necrotech (see my review below; I love that book...WHY
lost a big post to the capriciousness of windows 10. microsoft, why do you betray me so. i mean microsoft is a giant unfeeling machine whose unflinching progress cares not for the people left in its wake but. whyEveryone's reviewing Necrotech!
Howdy, gang. I'm trying to figure out how to use imzy, and I really fuckin' love this book, so I wanted to review it! Also, I want to in some way Interact With People, and I'm remarkably bad at that so I figure cross-linking a Relevant Post over here migh...Review: NECROTECH by K.C. Alexander
If you want a fuckingly good time, then Necrotech's your book! If that last sentence offended you, then, uh, maybe not. (Full disclosure: I stole the word "fuckingly" from my absolute favourite line from Necrotech). In a way, that's kind of all I need to ...So, NaNoWriMo, Eh?
I have a lot of complicated feelings about NaNoWriMo. First, a caveat: I have participated in NaNo more or less yearly since ... 2007, I think. So I'm a bit of a cagey vet at this point. And, yes, I have met the 50,000 word goal a few times, but I definit...Starting Fresh
Let's get this out of the way: I suck at communities. I don't mean that to be self-deprecating or dramatic, though now that I've put those words in that order, Christ, it kinda sounds like that, doesn't it? My point is I generally have no idea how social ...
