Writing (Ranting) about Writing (Still Ranting), or Why I Prefer Gonzo to Cosmo
Gonzo does offer a narrative, occasionally stream-of-consciousness, account of events. Hunter S Thompson’s writing gives a strange authenticity: while the account is colourful, there’s an implicit acknowledgement that he is not a wholly reliable narrator- he admits to being intoxicated throughout most of the Kentucky Derby, that he got more ( Read more... ) -
Biting a Bullet
I've had two driving lessons on my renewed permit. I am not going back on this. I won't be stopped. So many times I stymied myself because I believed I can't and was chronically broke without ever stopping to think it may not be 100% my fault but that my life had outgrown a job that didn't cover my needs, I was more inclined to take it all on ( Read more... ) -
I'm serious, here
Have any of the published ladies and gentleman here ever considered making a 'Choice of...' Game? I think you can actually pitch an idea to them if you've already published. I learned of Max Gladstone and the Craft Sequence because I played Choice of the Deathless. On the Choice of website, two paid options are discussed. I suggest you all check it ( Read more... ) -

Thursday's Child: When Siblings Collide
Here ends Thursday's Child. While this was the first story I came up with for Psychopomp, wanting to see if Nia could get some comfort in her desperately lonely and unstable life despite being very guilty of dire misdeeds, this wouldn't be the first chronologically so there probably will be canon-weirdness to iron out if I turn this into a full ( Read more... ) -
Thursday's Child, Part Eleven: Post Drunken Bard Indeed
I'll admit it. I dote on the character I have named Macduff 'Duffy' Fife. Personality-wise, he seems like my boyfriend at his happiest. I hope he doesn't come across an idiot here because he's not one.
( In fact, he's the Post-Drunken Bard! ) -
Thursday's Child, Part Ten
You are definitely allowed to feel bad for Richard, encouraged even. He's not being an evil boss by any means. Hector just doesn't like him and isn't really admitting that his own actions aren't making it easier for anyone.
( Just a short one ) -
Thursday's Child, Part Nine
Hector and Nia have her debriefing therapy session before Hector reveals his final task of the four (the earlier ones being breakfast, bath and therapy session).
( Dialogue-driven: Hector gets the third of four requests fulfilled. ) -
To be edited: Red Dwarf made me laugh again
Red Dwarf is based on a funny but tragic premise of the last living man, Lister, ever trying to make it back to Earth after being in statis for three million years in the vain hope of finding something like home to him. What makes it funny is that he's not alone. He's got a very un-HAL ship computer named Holly, a man evolved from cats who is ( Read more... )
