Just a little blurb I wrote tonight, after listening to music on the ride home ( Read more... )

Lately I've been having trouble getting into Madrigal headspace.  I've missed the, as Amos put it, "quaintness" of the older days; Grum misses them too, especially now with all this talk of the end of all things.  He and I have both clung to the ideal of, 'just being a guy' and it's made it really, really hard to progress into anything resembling ( Read more... )

So when I'm not subsisting on beer and my wife's sweet cooking, I live on stories.  It's time I read some more.  If you've never written one, give it a shot.  If it's been ages, pick up the pen again.  Doesn't have to be LARP related, but those are awesome too.

I have Mirror Mirror floon and a desire to write about the event from TR's PoV, but I don't know what to write about.  Thoughts are welcome.

God damn it.  I had really hoped to have a terrible time at MM this weekend, because my dumb ass is PCing three larps, I really need to drop one and Mirror Mirror was gonna be easiest since I don't have a team.  But NO.  No.  I had to have a frigging awesome time and be jonesing for the next one.  THANKS, NPCs ( Read more... )
