Whelp, I guess next year or for camp Nano stuff, I know that i need to go be social and do write-ins. I’m pretty productive when I do them, probably more than half of my 23k words were at write-ins, as opposed to the zillion distractions at home where I end up staring at my… Continue reading Nano Update and more
Went to a write-in today, and it’s ridiculous how much progress I can make when i’m not distracted by other things (thanks steam/pokemon/everything else). Did over 4k words so far today and i’m still rolling in an attempt to catch up. I guess it also helps that I had written myself to a point that… Continue reading More NaNo and a complaint
So now that life has stabilized somewhat, I plan on starting to update more often. One fun thing is that the wife and I are trying NaNoWriMo this year. She’s tried 3 years and completed it once, and I signed up in 2010 and was planning on trying, but little did I know how crazy… Continue reading Writing/NaNoWriMo Update
This is going to be long, you probably won’t agree with some of what i say, and that’s ok. I’m writing this here instead of facebook so i don’t clog up my feed with piles of text, because there’s a lot I want to get out. This is my opinion, and if you want to… Continue reading Here’s my one political post
Something I’d like to see more of in many stories in the gameworld/stuck in VR/VR game genre is dual edged decisions. Many stories I read (Japanese, English, Korean (although LMS is decent at it imo), the hero and/or party members gain abilities/powers/etc with very little if any downside to it. There’s almost no decision to… Continue reading Too Much Positive?
Below is going to be a snippet of a chapter from early on in Arc 2 that’s been in my head for a while so I want to get a portion of it down. This draft is rougher than rough so I imagine a lot of things will be changed, especially the casual elements. I’ll also… Continue reading Dimly Lit Hope (excerpt from Arc 2)
One amusing and frustrating thing I’m going through lately with developing this story is creating the main game aspects of the main character. I have a general idea of what I want the character to be or do, but everything I equate with it isn’t really resonating with me to the point where I want… Continue reading The (Character) Struggle is real
Something I came up with one day was for a healing type system that I’ve never played a game with or heard about before. Most games or stories have some form of magic or spiritual power that replenishes naturally or with potions and is fairly easy to regain, and you use it to heal. Pretty… Continue reading Healing Class System
I’m going to talk about one of the main six characters in (Trashy VR LN Novel to be named later). Her name in real life is Catherine and she’s a lesbian childhood friend of our somewhat dense MC. I’m a huge anime fan but the trope of childhood friend with the following traits : a) always being… Continue reading Let’s talk about Swirl/Cat
This blog is going to be a combination of putting my thoughts together for a specific story I want to work on (name pending), and also to encourage me to write more often and think more creatively. Please feel free to comment about anything and everything as I expand my writing horizons!
