Not writing
Quite possibly the only thing more ridiculous than how long this journal has languished is the fact that I'm writing in it now to avoid... writing.
I've had a writing bug as of late, that is, the urge to write, which is an unproductive nagging sensation when nothing specific inspires a story. I listen to Rey complain of the backlog of art ideas ( Read more... ) -

Went to bed around midnight, slept for a bit, and now I'm up again typing this at five of the morning. I tossed and turned for half an hour or more first, which was likely unhelpful. I do hope this isn't marking the start of a pattern. -
Sixteen minutes late.
I meant to post something, to commemorate the day. This morning over breakfast I even found myself writing what felt, at the moment, some very important ponderings in memoriam. Looking back at them this evening I found myself uncertain over the quality of my own writing, even the validity of my thoughts. Clearly there is some lesson here on the ( Read more... ) -

I'd meant to post this the other day, simply because I'm pleased about it. I put a few of the Nexus 100 prompts up on my website, just the better ones, and now it has a link from The Shadow Sanctum, which is quite probably the most comprehensive website for The Shadow fandom that exists. I've been billed as 'a unique fan fiction site ( Read more... ) -
Website
Although not without some frustrations in the building process, I now have a completed website. I took the liberty of putting up the best of the Shadow prompts thus far, although they're not terribly serious writing. We shall see how all this works. I'm not in the habit of soliciting responses from those of you reading this journal, but I truly ( Read more... ) -
Webpage in the works
This has been a very quiet week for RP, and I've been working on setting up my own web page, for my writing. This is something I've had in mind to do for a long time. I did learn the very basics of HTML once upon a time, and Rey has reference books about and is herself an excellent resource. Of course once it's properly up and running I'll post a ( Read more... ) -
Writing woes
I'm sure I meant to post something before this, but as always I've been distracted. RPing as The Shadow is absorbing and gratifying, and feeds my escapist tendencies wonderfully. The character is rather like me in a number of ways, which makes any flattery directed at him rewarding on a personal level. Not that I'd confuse myself with the character ( Read more... ) -
Happy moments
There's a relatively new cinema that's opened close by us, an unusual place set up inside a renovated factory from before there even were movie houses. The place does show conventional movies but they've got some other interesting things going on, one of these being Sunday morning matinees of classics. This Sunday it was the Maltese Falcon, and we ( Read more... ) -
RP meme
Here's a more cheerful sort of thought. I only have... four active characters? One of those barely active at all... but anyone I have played, such as Moody, is also valid ( Read more... )
