I took a nap this afternoon, and at some point right before I woke up, the charming and not entirely trustworthy young priest I’d been shackled with for this particular dream adventure turned to me and said “Well, I’ve got a toad demon chained up in heaven that I’ve been saving for a special occasion…” […]

63K and counting! My goal for today is to get the section from the beginning to their arrival to Anuket City into one seamless whole, so that I can turn all my attention to the second part. There’s only a couple of gaps that need filing, and one scene that either needs to get re-written […]
Whatever games I’m playing have a tendency to sink into my dreaming brain after awhile. Depending on what I’ve been glutting on lately, this can be anything from just dreaming in WoW interface (which is still a step up from the text-based dreams of my MUD days) to random encounters. “Oh, no! I’m late for […]
A very quick amusement… http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/43858402/ Definitely getting creatively overstretched with the writing–hammering out regular paintings would probably kill me–but I gotta do at least a doodle now and again or I start to feel like an unemployed slacker.
60K! Woot! Heh–it took me nearly as long to get that last 10K out as it took for the previous 50. Oh, well. At least it’s still comin’, and fifteen hundred words a day or thereabouts is a pretty respectable clip. I shall try not to get discouraged by the fact that I am not […]
Ben is a cat with a mission. Apparently it’s an escort mission. The mission begins at a little after 8:30, after James has gotten up. Ben attempts to trigger the questgiver–namely me–by walking around on the bed. If I am particularly sloggy today, he climbs onto my chest and purrs. Ben is a very large […]
Note to self, should I ever find myself in a galaxy far far away: When the heroine is lugging around a double-bladed lightsaber, can choke people from across the room, and just fought through a bar full of cyanide gas while holding her breath–the phrase “I want to protect you” somehow doesn’t quite hold together […]
Enjoying KOTOR2 so far. Combat system’s a little detached–you can eat dinner during battle without missing a bite–but part of that is that I just came off a Jade Empire jag, which is basically the exact same game only with vastly improved kung fu. But generally entertaining. Recommend it so far if you can find […]
I’ve gotten up to 56K so far, but some of that extra 6K is pretty fragmented, and there’s a big chunk I haven’t touched yet–a hole in the middle of the story that I’m carefully shoring up around the edges before I plunge in. Still, I think it’ll work. Hopefully. The psychotic raving fire-on-the-mountain inspiration […]
What actually happens to our heroes in Anuket City is crystallizing around a coupla chunks of text. That’s mostly how I write–I get a chunk, I write it and dump it there, and then I kind of write around it, a little before, a little after, until all the bits grow together. Every now and […]
