War Journal Entry number 972
Another Saturday night spent at home despite having various social things that I'd have liked to have attended. It's not that I don't want to go out, it's more that there just wasn't enough left of me by the end of the day.
Thankfully got a few necessary things done, setting up a savings account and getting Becca to the dentist, but there are a lot ( Read more... ) -
War Journal Entry number 970 - X-Men: Battle of the Atom, in brief
Despite its attempts to be big and exciting most the X-Men: Battle of the Atom crossover finale left me rather underwhelmed. I think a lot of that was just that the giant cast was too unwieldy, hell, most of them were barely glimpsed outside of the establishing shot. The deaths were even more hollow than the ones in these types of things typically ( Read more... ) -

War Journal Entry number 968 - United We Stand
On Saturday October 12th Becca and I had our commitment ceremony. It went very well. I'd actually be inclined to say excellently. With the beautiful day we had the ceremony on the deck in front of the river and trees. Hopefully I'll get some pictures up here sometime soon, there are already quite a few on FaceBook from various attendees ( Read more... ) -
War Journal entry number 967 - Would you like to take a survey?
My friend has a new online study investigating potential links between sexual orientation and personality. This one is open to people of all sexes/genders 18+ years of age. It takes about 10-15 minutes so why not give it a go?

War Journal Entry number 965 - more writing advice, for the men
As a follow up to last week's entry about characterization I'm here giving a little bit of advice for those guys that struggle at writing female characters with depth: first come up with a character, don’t think about gender just come up with the character, and then make them more self-aware ( Read more... ) -
War Journal Entry number 964 - Writing advice from a reader.
The advice professional writers often give to aspiring writers is typically to write. Yes, obviously, people need to practice. And it is good advice, many people sit around wishing they could become a writer while they aren’t even trying to produce anything. So, yes, it is necessary to sit down and write, to force yourself to write even if you don’ ( Read more... ) -

War Journal Entry number 962 - Marvel Infinity and DC Villains Month
Halfway through reading Infinity #2, the latest Marvel event series, I realized I was skimming it. I slowed down and read the rest but that's it, I'm dropping it. It's not a story, it's a long montage. And character? Nobody has a lick of character whatsoever. If I wanted to read a draft of a story with pictures then, well, I guess I'd actually ( Read more... )
