Trying to Find Oneself:
Hi.
I have lately felt very lost. I feel overwhelmed and on the verge of depression. It's not that I am overwhelmed with work or some such. I'm overwhelmed with people. I feel like people have been spending a lot of my time lately. I am constantly with people, and they are constantly telling me what to think and how to feel. It's all very confusing ( Read more... ) -
Characters: Mike Jones
'How long have I been here?' he thought to himself. All around him, the sounds of battle prevailed. Deep explosions rocked the earth, light pings danced off the far walls creating an infinite tapestry of pot marks on once clear walls. His hiding place was a wall similar to all the rest, and just as pot mark-ridden. Only a few holes allowed light to ( Read more... ) -
Journal Entry: So you want a Resolution?
Happy New Year.
2008 was an epic year, no matter how you slice it.
There was the Great Blizzard of Aught-Eight.
The Great Wind Storm of Aught-Eight.
The Great Power Outage of Aught-Eight.
The Worthington Whooping Cough Plague.
I graduated from OSU with not one degree... but two.
I had all kinds of emotional apexes.

Journal Entry: Poop on me.
I decided long ago that I was coping out on NaNo. It's a shame, really. But, I don't need some all encompassing month to write stories. I just don't. But, it was too much pressure. Too much pressure on someone like myself.
I'm trying to put all the pieces together. It's rough, you know? And I don't know what I'd do without Keith. Sometimes, it seems ( Read more... ) -
NaNoWriMo: Better Late Than Never.
The Old Man sat behind his desk and stared at the papers scattered across it. Hundreds of reports, dozens of dossiers; far too much information for one man to assimilate. Yet, somehow, he did it. Weeks of reading and study, all outside of his "usual business hours" had gone into researching the materials in front of him. And all of it seemed to end ( Read more... ) -
Journal Entry: An Aside...
Okay. I haven't been home for a few days, and I've been crazy busy. So, I'm 4 days late into starting my NaNo. I've got little to no idea about what I am writing about... but, that's okay. I'm just going to start writing and we'll see what happens.
Ready?
GO!
Death on the Snowfield.

Music Story: Realizing Dreams
Music stories are something I've done for a long time. I usually use it as a way to help me expand a character I'm already working with. However, today we're going to start with a new character. We're going to try new things and see if I can start spawning ideas for my NanoWriMo.
In essence, I put my iPod on shuffle and listen to the first 20 ( Read more... ) -

Let's start with *becoming* a zombie.
Obviously, becoming a Zombie involves suffering. No one becomes a Zombie unless they obviously suffered. Because they're dead.
First off, you've got to be stranded in a very frightening situation. You're stuck in a town that you're unfamiliar with, there is endless night all ( Read more... ) -
Holy Long Time, Batman!
Howdee-Doody.
Okay. so it's been like 2.5 years since I've written here? That's a shame. It's a long story-- but it starts with my missing password and a long long debacle trying to recover it. However! I have just located my password, and we are one again in business!
In the past, I've used this blog mostly for my creative writing purposes. And so ( Read more... ) -
Chapter One:
Part XII:
Alethea sighed, absent-mindedly tapping her pen against her Calclus book.
She was aware that she was daydreaming again. For the unknownth time since sitting down at the library, she tried to clear her head. She couldn't help it, however... Math just didn't hold her attention.
"Integrate x sin x dx." The book made it sound so simple. ( Read more... )
