(no subject)
Hi LJ! Let me tell you about my stupid crazy busy life. I'm writing like mad and very much chained to my desk. Insert simile about monkeys and typewriters. These days I'm primarily adding bytes to Pocket Gamer, Gamezebo, Android Shock, and as of September, I've been About.com's Guide to the Nintendo 3/DS for four years! *Confetti*
Incidentally, my most popular article on that site is a sort-of jokey thing I wrote for Halloween last year about Pokemon's Lavender Town Syndrome. WARNING: MAY B 2SPOOPY 4 U.
I'm also writing for a game. Like, writing. For a game. Like, story, characters, locations. I came up with some country names, and the devs put it all on a map. And it was like, "Holy moly, I made up those names!"
...I wish I was better at making up names.
Seriously though, been utilizing a lot of Hebrew and Hungarian. If I'm going to appropriate cultures (as fantasy material is aces at doing), I may as well appropriate my own.
As for my own work, I am this close --->||<--- to finishing the second draft of my novel. Stitching together the third draft shouldn't take nearly as long as the second draft has, and from there I'm going to submit it for some hardcore editing. From there, it's off to a thousand slush piles!
Moving away from writing for a second (but only for a second, since I'll starve to death if I stop for an extended period of time), my older brother caused some panic amongst my clansmen and women when a huge tumour was discovered on his spine. It's gone now, thanks to the magic of surgery, and everything's aces.
Come the start of November, it'll be my turn for surgery, though it's nothing nearly as dire. Last year I blogged a bit about how I've been feeling kind of wretched at points, and it turns out a lot of my symptoms line up with endometriosis. Diagnostic surgery is the only way to determine whether or not I have this dumb disease, so that's what's going on.
So. what're you doing this weekend? What? Living life to its fullest? You lie. You're going to watch the Sonic Lost World first play marathon running from noon Saturday to noon Sunday. David's hosting it along with Ian Flynn, the current author of the Sonic and Mega Man Archie comics. I'll be helping out and/or getting in everyone's way.
Do watch, though. The raffle prizes are as RAD as BALLS.
BAAAAALLS.
