I know this matters little to anyone but myself, since no one's even read my really early works (being written pre-internet does that), but I've decided that Kaeth will have a second lease at life... and death ( Read more... )

I'm not entirely sure what prompted it, but even though it was past midnight last night, I thought about Kaeth. Kaeth is an extremely old character of mine that I created back in high school, but I suppose what's remarkable about him is that he's wasn't remarkable. He wasn't the hero. He couldn't fight. In an adventure story he never carried a ( Read more... )

It took longer than I wanted, but I finally finished writing my Phantasy Star II behemoth Restoration. It clocks in at 74 chapters and covers a span of twenty-two years of the characters' lives. I'm so glad it didn't end up taking as long for me to write as the characters were living it, though I guess that's cheating a bit since the story fast- ( Read more... )

I finally saw the movie Serenity today. I kept hearing good things about it, but I'm notoriously difficult to get to watch something. The best way to get me hooked on something is to watch it without me while I'm in the vicinity doing something else. I became a loyal Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel fan that way. But even though the TV series ( Read more... )

Been thinking about a lot of things from a writing (and a reading) standpoint lately. Part of it was due to an exercise I did in a class I signed up for after work, part of it was due to a conversation I had on a message board, and part of it is just the fact that my mind wanders an unfortunate portion of the time and lands on odd subjects without ( Read more... )

Bleh... my trip is off to an inauspicious start and I haven't even left yet. Yesterday I discovered my credit card was missing, and that's something that has never happened to me before. Thankfully I was reunited with it later in the evening, but that was a day of panic since I knew it had been left behind at a resturant and not at my home ( Read more... )

As I was driving home yesterday I had a thought ( Read more... )

I should be busier, but I'm procrastinating in an awful way. Work is actually relatively light right now. The reason I should be busy is... I'm going to be taking a vacation soon! And it's busy because I'm going to be traveling abroad and I need to make sure I have everything packed and all that stuff. I'm not leaving until Saturday, but you ( Read more... )

Since I had the day off today was supposed to be a writing day for me. Unfortunately it was so hot that spending a day cooped up in a stuffy room with a computer didn't turn out so well. I didn't get much writing done, but I did do a lot of thinking and maybe got a new story idea or two ( Read more... )

I haven't been writing much lately, which jives with my dismay at the start of this year. I hate thinking that I'm wasting my life away and after all this time I only have about a dozen small press credits to show for it. But, I got paid again recently and my next publication should be coming out this month, so I guess I'm trucking along ( Read more... )
