Well, soon, I won't have any of the PAYING variety. Next week (or maybe the weeks after; jury's out), my current contract writing for videogames comes to a close. Sad. I love that contract. Why, just last week I wrote a children's book for a society which lost all its wars and is highly defeatist. (The child's cute-companion dies, disturbingly ( Read more... )

Whew! I've certainly been busy since I last posted in March.

First, my band. Being part of an Irish/Celtic bar band means that the month of March is the month of March. ( We went on tour, even! )

Well, today was my last day at the super-awesome job writing dialog for videogames. (I also got to write short stories, be a voice actor, and create some lore.)

Most important item: No, I'm not doing NaNoWriMo. I still need to finish my trashy romance novel, and if I'm having trouble knuckling down and doing that, then I'm not starting a new project.

New Project: I'm thinking of writing a paper that's about development economics and the social web. It'd probably be a "missing chapter" of Amartya Sen's ( Read more... )

Morning: Got to work before 8 am for a "dress rehearsal" of tonight's event ( Read more... )

Best part about watching Rome (other than translating the graffiti and loving the convoluted plots) = feeling really good about my hair style which is almost exactly the same as every female character . . . just less elaborate ( Read more... )
