Game, family, job, guitar
Life is going well. Overall I have very little to complain about. The OSRIC sandbox game is still going strong and is very fun. I'm trying to put in some more plot hooks to lure the players in to more story. Time will tell whether they bite ( Read more... ) -
Computer Games
We had a brief conversation in our game group last Friday about video games, and I thought I would share the ones I am currently playing/interested in as demos are available for most and there's some interesting games out there.

Me = William Gibson?
It's something to aspire to. Apparently my fantasy is like Gibson, and my action is like Vonnegut. Go figure.

A few updates
It has been a while. I'm debating on whether I should start a blogger account and do more of the hobby-centered writing.
I must admit that facebook has taken up more of my time, doing updates and the like for people who I know. In any case currently I am:
On summer vacation!

Campaign Kick-Off and Sherlock Holmes
My wife and I went to see Sherlock Holmes recently, and though Robert Downey, Jr. is no Basil Rathbone, I thought it was fantastic. The mood, the scenes, the antagonists, all were well done. I can't wait until the next one - it was one of the most enjoyable movie experiences I had had for a long time.
I then decided to check out a short story ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year!

In other news, I received two books for Christmas that I'm really looking forward to reading, in the hopes that they further my writing skills so I can get something done and published ( Read more... ) -
Reading about writing
I checked out a few books from the library on writing and the writing biz. The one I like the most so far is The Portable Writers' Conference: Your Guide to Getting and Staying Published. It was published in 1997, so I'm sure some of the advice is out of date, but there are a few real gems here, some great motivation, and a solid idea of the ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Let's begin at the beginning. It's time to go to bed, and yet I find I have little desire to do so. Am I tired? Yes. But I'm also perplexed as to why I'm still up.

On Writing and Trepidation
I think I'm pretty anxious about school starting again. New students, new challenges, and I find I've got a sizable amount of trepidation about how this year is going to turn out. I have to keep telling myself that it will be easier than last year, especially because I have no additional study time on the side that I have to do in addition to the ( Read more... )
