Well I dunno about you folks, but I’m ready for Nanowrimo. I mean by this time next week I’ll be whining about how I ~dun wanna~ and ~dun have time~ but you know, I’ll get it done and I’ll feel pretty awesome by the end of the month. That said, Nanowrimo finally has their buddy…
All of this is true. Well, not the dress. Or the hair. Over at Published In A Year, “The East Coaster” wrote an entry about how she gets to know her characters. I of course chimed in with a comment and, being me, attempted to write a freakin’ dissertation because my process is as weird…
Anyone who has known me for oh, more than a few months knows that I’m always coming up with new projects that I want to explore, even if it seems like I’ll never have the time to do them. And most of the time they do kinda fizzle out, whether from a lack of my…
Writing wise, absolutely nothing was accomplished this week. I can blame my day job for that. It was an hour-packed week, with full days and a whole lotta commuting all over the prefecture. My one-day weekend was spent restocking on food, cleaning, and I think a shower is gonna be shoved in there somewhere. Of…
This entry is just a snippet of a multi-part saga dealing with the technicalities behind writing. Posts and subsequent discussions focus on how we write. First off, guess what, it’z mah birthday. Well, it is on this side of the world anyway. Still a few hours left back in Amuhrrika. General praises of admiration for…
my magnum opus. I was pretty flabbergasted a couple days ago when I realized that I had to like…write stuff. I mean, my brain is in editing and planning mode right now until Nano in a couple of weeks, so this whole notion of writing is like being told I’m actually expected to work when…
This entry is just a snippet of a multi-part saga dealing with the technicalities behind writing. Posts and subsequent discussions focus on how we write. YUP. Exactly what I think of. It’s the age-old question, especially during this time of year when Nano season is in full bloom. “Are you an outliner, or are you…
Well the NaNoWriMo site has been overhauled, and with it comes the start of a new Nano season! I do love the hype of a new Nano season. It’s pretty much summed up in this video (with a very odd still…) That said, I’ve got most of my profile set up and am already stalking…
Most of us writers make small to grand soundtracks for our novels and/or series. This post is not about any overall soundtrack that I have (that will come later!) but instead about the “perfect song” that best sums up one of my entire series. In short, the theme song. Now, I have a theme song…
Pikachu is easily impressed, even by fallible machinery. I have a purple ASUS EEE PC 900 that I got three years ago this month to use when I studied abroad in Japan during college…see, my normal laptop at the time was a large 17in desktop replacement and that wasn’t very good for hauling around. (That…
