2k11: lots of shit happened
Is it normal to have a year that fits so perfectly into a narrative story arc? Well, that’s how my year went. Join me in hearing about my more-entertaining-than-is-comfortable-for-me life.
I don’t remember January. I vaguely remember having problems that instantly seemed minuscule when February 16th rolled around.
This is what happens when you get distracted while deep frying on a...
Reasonably Unscrewed-Up Character ≠ Mary Sue –... →
I’m aware that the term “Mary Sue” is experiencing some definition creep so that aside from meaning “author wish fulfillment character” it’s also come to mean “supercompetent, non-screwed-up main character.” But this seems like critical and linguistic laziness to me — Let “Mary Sue” mean what it’s supposed to mean, and let something else mean that other thing; I vote for “Campbellian Competent,”...

The problem with being a writer is that usually by proxy you are a great big nerd, and the only things you really know/are passionate about are big ol nerdy things
But not all of your characters can be nerds
That’s just not how it works
I mean, sure if you REALLY want to you can write a cast full of snarky, socially awkward individuals who make...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the worst kind of critique is from the person who lacks even the smallest investment in your success or failure. If people don’t want to help you, their critique will not end up being helpful.

Partying on New Year's Eve?
Don’t drink and drive-and don’t ride with anybody who does. Tipsy Tow offered by AAA: you don’t have to be a AAA member, from 6pm-6am on New Years Eve/day, they will take your drunk self and your car home for FREE. Save this number… 1-800-222-4357. Please reblog this if you don’t mind.
hiraku536 asked: Looking at Yu+Me again, I have a question just now. How different is the ending you ended up giving the characters from how you originally intended for it to end? If there is any difference, what happened that led to the "derailing" of the plot into what it currently is? (Hopefully, my awkward sentencing is not too awkward for you to understand the gist of what I'm asking)
Man, "snuggle" is a weird word when you think...

The rest of chapter 5 of Darlin' It's betta Donw... →
Came to the hotel to pack the last of my stuff and put it all back in my house.
Realized there is internet at the hotel.
I have been internetting for an hour and a half.
Nothing is packed.
Mary walks up with some Laffy Taffy.
Mary: Where do firefighters go on vacation?
Andrew: Aruba.

I suppose while we’re on the subject of encouragement, praise, and critique, it can be just as important to explain why you feel the positive parts of a piece work as to say why you feel the negative parts should be improved. Praise is given so freely, often as code for “I don’t really care but this makes it sound like I’m paying attention” or ” I want to make you feel better”, that...

brofisting said: Aw dang, you should definitely try to make it to SPX! It’s a good con.
So I hear! I’m really jealous of people who get to go to all the good cons all the time. They rarely happen to be where I am. T___T

digitalovemon asked: What are your thoughts on that there is a collective unconscious where all dreams imaginations come from?
Gonna be without internet for a while
Because I moved back into my house yesterday! Oooooh yeeeeah!
Technically, it isn’t done-done, but it’s done enough to live in and sleep in my own bed. Internet will happen at some point next week.
I’ll post pictures of the house when it’s done-done.
So let’s see, it burned down February 16th, and I moved back in December 22nd so… 10 months and 4 days since I...
