Item the first: In LA Weird Weather News snow is predicted for some areas at the 1000 foot mark. Not much. But still. Snow. Best thing, I am actually going in the area where snow is maybe going to be happening tomorrow.

Item the Second: Short story I was writing is inching towards fifteen thousand words. I don't know if that qualifies as a short ( Read more... )

I saw a coyote on the way into work today!

Sometimes, RP can be useful making you figure out world building stuff when playing with OCs from your novels/stories/what have you. Especially when it comes to non-Earth worlds.

In this case Jono was talking with a gentleman from London named Fredrick. ( As seen here.) It appears in Fredrick's ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in my bedroom at my parent's house right now. In front of me, on the wall, is a painting I did of Jehrik the Dragonslayer. He's very 90's looking.

Writing is a strange thing. Especially when you try to explain stuff that happens. I've had Alec in one form or another since 1992. In 1994 the Age of Apocalypse came out. A lot of the heroes had these nifty tattoos on their faces. I was all NEAT I want!

Dear me.

He was dead. Why did you bring him back to life? You suck.

Kippur.

One of the hard things I've noticed about writing characters is trying not to put my particular moral views into theirs. The biggest problem I have is when it comes to eating. Jews have Views on what sort of foods it's okay to eat. Keeping Kosher and that fun stuff. My characters are not Jewish. My characters either come from a world where there's ( Read more... )
