Just Writer Things

A 21-post collection

Thursday, A Slight Change

I am now building dungeons in DungeonDraft. Which is mouse drawing rather than manipulating nonsense around and cussing a lot. Theoretically, it will be an easier time for me, and I shall see where the RageQuit Boundary is.

AFTER I tag a week and find 250 more words for the 2K summary.

And maybe during my album sorting because multitasking is my life.

Music makes work go quicker.

And after Chaos returneth home, I should nap so I have some energy to play D&D tonight. Whee fun.

If things go well, I shall soon be figuring out how OwlBearRodeo works, too. For the mobs in said dungeon. But first I do all the walls.

I am reading my book to my Beloved at the rough rate of three chapters whenever we have the firkin time. It's been good for feedback and some small fixes.

I might have to add time and place references into Kosh's flashback chapters. Or rearrange everything so that they're going forward, but that might make for a more boring book. I don't firkin know. This is why I have Beta Readers.

I'm the arsehole who decided to be clever about this. I need to know if my readers are as clever as I think I am.

Meanwhile, I just focus on finishing the dang thing.

Now I'm Pissed Off

Picture the scene: It's the day before yesterday. I put my heart and soul into, and wring myself out for, a piece that by all accounts should have knocked it out of the park.

Some handful of likes.

Yesterday, I pretty much put my thumb up my butt and churn out a fill-in-the-blanks WWII Escape The POW Camp plotting.

Finishing Season

Seems to be the time of year for finishing stuff up. I'm 1500 words away from the end of Clockwork Souls and I've just-last-night reached an ending for my fanfic, Crime and Punishment.

I'm going to ponder which fanfic I'm doing next because I can't not write. There's a few juicy ideas I have excerpts for. I just need to pick the shiniest one.

Announcements when that happens, of course.

Today's another cleaning day, and having our new toy means that all

::Evil Laugh::

Today's the day. I posted that chapter of Random Encounters and the angst floweth deep in the comments section, oh boy.

They'll forgive me at chapter twenty-four.

I didn't get 1K in, yesterday. And rather than punishing myself for that, I decided to give myself an 'out'. I write a minimum of five hundred words. 1K is the 'bonus points' goal for the day. And it may be more merciful on my wrists over time.

I have noticed a twinge or two

Planning for fun

I have been writing some funny fucking stuff, but it's not ready for publication, yet. I have some scenes of chaos to do.

And probably a lot more chaos, yet.

I'm having huge amounts of fun. Listening to the Adventure Zone and powering through the ad breaks so I can listen to more Adventure zone and get inspiration points for the five fucking stories I have going with NO END IN SIGHT...

Yeah, I fell of the self-limit wagon again. Stop looking

Challenge #01750-D289: Confessions at a Bus Stop

Writer caught doing research, then realises 'captive audience'. -- Anon Guest

Officer René wasn't intending to be on duty. They were just chilling near the bus stop and not paying attention to anything much. Someone was already under the shelter and working on their laptop.

And then they heard the words, "No... that's too much decapitation. Uh... pierced jugular. Slow. Plenty of signs of blood spatter."

There are some things you hear that you're better off walking away from. There are some

my-own-little-nerd-paradise:

“I am a writer” I say as I’m staring at the blank piece of paper for hours.

“I love writing” I say, grinding my teeth and breaking my pencil in half.

“Writing keeps me sane” I say, laughing like a maniac and spinning my head around 360 degrees while climbing up the wall.

Ancient Alphabets.

Thedan Script - used extensively by Gardnerian Witches
Runic Alphabets - they served for divinatory and ritual purposes, as well as the more practical use; there are three main types of Runes; Germanic, Scandinavian/Norse, and Anglo-Saxon and they each have any number of variations, depending on the region from which they originate 
Celtic and Pictish - early Celts and their priests, the Druids, had their own form of alphabet known as “Ogam Bethluisnion”, which was an extremely simple alphabet

internutter said: D'you ever cackle in a witchlike manner as you come up with plotlines? I'd love to know if I'm not alone.

sketchypandagames:

This is basically me when I write ALL the time. And sometimes when I wandering around in public and an idea comes to me.

Also, I’ve committed to post of a video of me impersonating Rumple if we successfully fund, so if that doesn’t get people to follow us, nothing will.
