If you create at all; if you've ever been flamed at all; go read this from Wil Wheaton. Now ( Read more... )

I got this in an email from my Twitter friend @johnanealio the other night, and I didn't delete it because I quite liked it. John is one of my favorite tweeple, and his lively geek songs are true joys. But like all of us, sometimes he struggles with his creativity, and this little piece might help when you are struggling with yours, so I'm passing ( Read more... )

So, I didn't do NaNoWriMo this year. Instead, I tried my hand at picowrimo, a community where you set your own writing goals for the month. And it finally happened. I actually failed at a writing goal. That's new to me. I am one of those people who nearly always finishes what I say I will do. But frankly, that's if I have a goal imposed upon me by someone ( Read more... )

...and you know that one hundred words a day is a drabble a day, right? I mean, come on. Translated to wabbitspeak, that means a fic a day of at least drabble length (though the December 2007 challenge turned out some fics well over 1000 words, so who knows what will happen?). So, yeah. That's my actual November goal. Why not? I've done it before ( Read more... )

After all, as someone on Twitter recently said to me, "Sleeping is for December," (not true, we all know December is for The X-Files, but whatever) so I'm in for ( Read more... )

Okay, so I played around on this a bit. For the beast (Command Decisions), I got James Joyce, no matter what chapter I picked. For my drabbles, I generally got J.D. Salinger. I got Bram Stoker once or twice and Stephen King once. Oh, and apparently when I write John Druitt, I sound like Dan Brown. But this? Oh, this cracks me up.

I tried to pick one ( Read more... )

When I returned from Dragon*Con last month, I was asked if I would be interested in writing a short piece on it for SFX magazine. My response? Hells yeah! I wrote the piece on a short deadline and completely forgot about it after a few days of freaking out because the mag was paying me for it ( Read more... )

My Muse, my Muse...why hast thou abandoned me?

Honestly, I've tried to write Stargate again in recent days... and I got nothin.

But yet... this is my desktop at this very moment (behind this window).
