So I finally caved in and started putting pieces of various short stories into the generator, and what. A lot of people have said that it's consistent for them, but what. I must just write in tons of different styles because for each story I've gotten something different:

~Arthur Clarke [Who is that? Should I know who that is?]
~JK Rowling [Good ( Read more... )

I was just reading something, and I laughed so hard I choked. As in, airway completely blocked, if only for a second or two. It sort of gave me a starburst of joy even as I hacked and coughed. I was so delighted, not even my body could handle it.

Granted, I watched Death at a Funeral for the first time last night, and I almost got to that point as ( Read more... )

So, ages ago I mentioned on this blog that I wrote about 40 notebook pages out in two days. No biggie. I mean, there was some serious hand-cramping, but no biggie. The 'biggie' is that I still haven't finished it yet, because I decided it needs more than an addendum, but an entire other chapter tacked on at the beginning and it's DRIVING ME NUTS.

I've been reading like a fiend this week! Awesome. Since starting in college, I'd sort of forgotten what it was like being on a roll like that. My appetite is slowly building up again, as it were. I finished The Road after one shift at work. One shift! It was a quick read. And now I'm reading some Gaiman! But let us begin with the beginning; I read ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've had a full time job that isn't "being a student." So...I'd sort of forgotten how much time it just eats up...I am so incredibly behind on everything! I need a couple more hours in the day, or something. But when I opened up the envelope with my paystub in it and I saw the amount, I just about cried. I'd forgotten what ( Read more... )

I just read the news:

A while back, we learned that Leonardo DiCaprio's production company was developing a Gothic take on LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD alongside ORPHAN's David Leslie Johnson (details HERE).

Now comes word that a director has been found for that project: Catherine Hardwicke.

The "Twilight" helmer is signing on to Appian Way's "The Girl With ( Read more... )

I just came across the term "wordslut." Just...just let that sink in a bit.

Wordslut.

Hahahahahahaha! Apparently I travel in the right circles.

Finally, finally I have a page written for a story. A fanfiction, true, but that's all to the good when I haven't written in months and my mind's been going a mile a minute (because I've had so much sleep, ( Read more... )

A few weeks ago I discovered a short story. I kept thinking about it, all through vacation, all through everything, until finally yesterday I decided to read it again. I found I loved it more, and my mind started whirling with all of these thoughts that I'm about to write down, but just to be sure, I read it again today. Since I still find it ( Read more... )

I've had a bit of a mini-epiphany today. As someone who regularly evades conflict in real life and is often annoyed by the pointless antics I see many engaged in when it comes to relationships, it has been a small, niggling point of concern for me the past several years that I tend to write original fiction [someone help me, no!] as well as read  ( Read more... )

I've nothing all that much to say except that it's production week now, and I've already had to pull an all-nighter last week, why must I pull one again today[tonight]? Because I'm an idiot, that's why. For my presentation on Tuesday, I'm basically going to be slurring like a drunkard. As the expert told us in AP Pysch, "If you don't get enough ( Read more... )
