This may be the most description I've ever given of my novel online
Okay, I'm not done on the writing subject. Different aspect of it though. Mainly, I've got sorta-writer's block.
After glancing over my one finished novel, I've made the horrifying discovery that, not only does it need severe editing, it might as well go through another major rewrite. I mean, I did write this draft in 2008, but still. I was hoping ( Read more... ) -
I often intend to talk about life, but I prefer these non-personal rambles
I just wrote a gigantic email to a friend who wanted me to send some links on how to get published. I then realized I don't actually have very many of those and the ones I find easily on Google aren't often very good ( Read more... ) -
Actually, I don't feel delusional, though I am exhausted. Why do you ask?
Don't ask me why I'm up so late/early, or why I haven't blogged in over a week! The short answer is I'm crazy, the long answer is irrelevant ( Read more... ) -
Fangirl squealing of an unexpected sort
I've been slowly but surely ripping my music collection onto my computers over the past few months, ever since buying an mp3 player that can handle such a load. For some reason, I encountered an mp3 that wouldn't open in Windows Media Player and thought, what the heck, I always meant to download Winamp again, so I looked it up for the first time in ( Read more... ) -
I wrote most of this hours ago, but my head's been too groggy to edit it until now
Just in time to maybe move, I've been cleaning up the apartment. I still need to get new vacuum cleaner bags so I can clean up the carpet, but wow my living room looks nice if you can ignore the pretzel crumbs. I still have a few piles of randomly assorted Stuff to find a place for, but they're smaller piles and not as frequent. Also, I shoved them ( Read more... ) -
This has been happening for too many years at this point
Maybe I should start explaining to people that I can get flustered very, very easily and how their small action that might not seem a big deal can affect me for hours on end. Because it's not hard to do at all, and do it people do. Frequently. A lot. Almost every time I see them, it feels like. Or try to see them. All it takes is for someone to ( Read more... ) -
Me? Morbid? Naw.
For the first time in years, I want to be able to make an anime. A real, honest-to-goodness anime, made in Japan and stuff. Why? Because I have a concept that won't work in another medium. Maybe I could pull it off all right in comic form, pooossibly in video game form, but it won't have half the impact in novel format. What makes it work is all ( Read more... ) -
This, RIGHT AFTER the Last Airbender racism
Though I tried to stay out of Axis Powers Hetalia's loop, it's getting another fifteen minutes in the limelight that's hard to miss, thanks to FUNimation's upcoming DVD release. They're releasing announcements of the dub actors each day, along with clips showing off that actor's interpretation of the character. I notice because they post it on ( Read more... ) -
Or, you know, they could refrain from making so many adaptions in the first place
After seeing books and comics and TV shows obliterated year after year in movie form, I have come to a conclusion: Fans should not make movies of things they love. No, they shouldn't. They are too biased. Yeah, you'd think this means they'd do everything they can to preserve what made the original awesome, but what it actually means is they now get ( Read more... ) -
One day my posts will be shorter and more frequent
Things happen. Spending a week in Iowa/a week without Internet, turning 20, seeing The Moody Blues live for the seventh time... I thought it was weird to turn fifteen, when a lot of my characters were fourteen. It's nothing in comparison to turning twenty, when the large majority of my main characters are nineteen. It's not right, to be older than ( Read more... )
