Resurrecting old projects in preparation for NaNoWriMo. This one is entirely the fault of Hal Hartley. If any film school students out there fancy adapting this, you're more than welcome - just ask.

Dear All,
Below the cut please find a very long and rambling entry. First paragraph is also spoiler-y for SPN 6x11. Just so you know :-) ( This icon is the epitome of appropriate references )

To NaNo or not to NaNo, that is the question. And if so, on which project? Dear Brain, why do you suck so much at actually completing projects? Grr. I'll be over here with my coffee, plotting in all senses of the word.

In between the bad poetry and the funding applications, there is other writing happening - one meta, one fanfic, one (continued) original.(Well, three continued originals, and vague thoughts of a Halloween ghost story fluttering about temptingly in the back of my head, but we shall see...too many words, too little focus, obviously.)  I've decided ( Read more... )

So, that bad poetry I was talking about yonks ago?  It's bad. I keep poking at it to see if it gets any better, but I dunno.  If anyone wants to take a gander at it and let me know how you think I could tighten it up and make it more of a coherent, structured piece of work, that would be awesome.

I have far too many prospective writing projects on the go. Behold an excerpt from my steampunk Western:

"Should reach New Abilene by nightfall." said Theo, stirring rice.

"Mm-hmm." Jane leaned back against the knobbly tree trunk and let her eyes unfocus until the horizon became a swirl of blue and green and gold. She dug the telegram out of her ( Read more... )

Hey follks,
Here's the deal - I'm trying something a bit different on the artistic front and would greatly appreciate feedback. What  imagery/text can/should I include in the following dossier to make it more unsettling, more memorable, and just generally  more creepifyin' ?  (I'd have placed the images beneath a cut for space, but the computer ( Read more... )
