1) Love at First Sight: in film and romance novels, this is not only real, but arguably the only 'true' kind of love. IRL, interest can be instantaneous, infatuation can come with a conversation or a long walk, and a deep fondness can happen in a weekend, but love is not a one-time-then-forever thing. It's always a work in progress, a mutual kind ( Read more... )

I have a present of a kind for you, my long-waiting friends. I've finally opened a journal for my new version of Sita Roryn and have added to the whole first Part, the first nine chapters. I'll be making posts to the writing communities I belong to, but I wanted to give y'all the first look. The story will go for another two or three Parts, but I ( Read more... )

I, for one, welcome our new octopoid overlords.

If the stuff I gave you is confusing, just look through the PDFs in the "Blue Circle" folder and the "SitaRoryn/OpenMaster" folders. I didn't mean to include "The Dragons of Cowtown" since, as you can see, I've just started on that. The new "Sita Roryn" version is in "NewRoryn", obviously. I'll be making pretty radical changes to what I've written ( Read more... )

The recent photoshopped oddity that was the faked July 5th, 2010 date for a setting on Doc. Brown's much-desired time-traveling DeLorean has gotten me thinking about that madcap trilogy of so long ago. No, not about BttF Day, which I saw as a hoax at first glance (and still don't really see the point-Doc went to 2015 after apparently deciding that ( Read more... )

Interesting, I've been mirrored. A sockpuppet in (almost) my name has been set up to infiltrate a community I don't even read. If I thought it worth getting angry over, I'd be ranting pretty heavily but, as it is, they're mostly just giving my writing free advertising. Hey, dumbass, try actually plagiarizing somewhere that makes you money next time

I'm happy, but one step further away from finishing my new version of Sita Roryn. If I weren't so lazy, so flaky, or such a geek, I 'd have more integrity. Sue me; y'all aren't waiting for the novel with baited breath anyway. My latest excuse for not working is that I just got Mathematica again after several years of withdrawals. Math is my first ( Read more... )
