Stupid internetses! Always fucking with me productivities!

I came home at like midnight so I could get to the writing. Did I get to the writing? No!

Why? Distracted by a conversation with a hardcore Christian I knew way back in high school who was explaining to me why her ( Read more... )

The Hero: When the disaster occurs, this is one of the only guys running towards it. His goal is either to save the people by helping them escape, or by repelling the disaster itself, and figuring out some way to stop it. Once he arrives within the main group he’s almost ( Read more... )

Over the past week or so I’ve made the decision to be more open about my atheism. I don’t intend to be Jehovah’s Witness sort of scary or intrusive, where I’m seeking out Christians or other religious people who keep their faith to themselves and don’t argue or preach or ( Read more... )

I cannot put into words just how much I’m looking forward to this game. I just found out that Gamestop is having a midnight release of it tonight, so I’ll be there, money in my hands.

I’ve looked forward to games in the past, but I’m afraid that over the past five years or ( Read more... )

Maybe this is entirely unnecessary, and if it is I might choose to just delete it and move everything over here, but I’ve decided to start up a new blog on my website. This blog will be dedicated to basically all things writing, whether that writing has to do with novels, ( Read more... )

I’ve got a writing itch and something I want to write about. It’s not a “story” per se… and there aren’t really any “characters” on my mind. All I have right now is a “setting.” A sort of hyper-realistic space opera set in our own solar system several hundred years from now ( Read more... )

I can’t believe I’ve been at work for 5 hours already. I mean, I’m glad, but all I’ve been doing today is playing flash games online and rewriting the script to Super. I also managed to delete or organize about 450 emails from my inbox today, which only leaves me with about ( Read more... )

I’ve had an idea for a webshow I plan on filming for a while now, but I’ve sort of let it incubate in my head while I gather up some decent equipment to make it at least good enough that it doesn’t look like a home video.

But eh, I’m sort of getting restless, and Amber ( Read more... )

Second day back at work and I’m already getting in trouble. The reason isn’t important, it doesn’t sound like serious trouble, just a boss kind of on my nuts about a project. I finished the project a few minutes ago so it’s likely over at this point, nothing to worry about ( Read more... )

Slaved away at my computer the entire weekend building a map for my book.

It's easy enough to just use Google Earth to see highly detailed areas of locations in my story, but there's just so much moving around involved with that, and it's very easy to get lost in all the details, literally spending hours just sitting around looking at things. And in ( Read more... )
