50,000+

As you can see in the sidebar, I actually managed to push through to the end of NaNoWriMo. Against all odds.

Throughout the month, the NaNoWriMo site tracked my progress with this helpful graph. While I’m collecting my thoughts about how the month went and how it helped me develop as a writer, I thought […]

Infinite Points in SMBX

Talking Time is making a bunch of Mario levels using Super Mario Bros. X, a popular Mario level editor. The editor is pretty easy to use, and you can make great things with it, but it was obviously designed by people who don’t possess a very finely tuned… “Mario sense”. Certain elements of their engine […]

5000+

Against all odds, I managed to get over 5000 words written last night. If I can be equally productive tonight I will be within grasping distance of the 50,000 word goal. But then, my motto’s always been, “if you’re gonna cut it… cut it close.”

I don’t actually know what that means. I started saying […]

Deptford and J

Deptford: This dude has a webcomic now. It is called Surrealist Obituaries and it is mostly about Sonic the Hedgehog and Colonel Campbell being silly and weird. I have read a bunch of this dude’s comics and the one thing they all have in common is awesome.

J: Of course by J I mean Julius […]

14,000 Words Shy

As you can see, my NaNo stats are not good. I’m afraid I don’t have the ability to write 14,000 words in the next couple days… at least not without some Harry Potter-style time-alteration device.

Here’s this week’s excerpt anyway:

Every musclehead and tough guy in town passed through the docks from time to time. […]

Brickroad Destroys A Pumpkin: A Thanksgiving Miracle

Pumpkins are giant orange fruit/vegetable things that serve precisely two purposes: to be carved into scary faces on Halloween, and to be consumed as desserts on Thanksgiving. If you ever see anyone doing anything else with a pumpkin, you should alert the local authorities immediately.

The sad truth, though, is that most people don’t know […]

Survivor: Nicaragua, week eight

Oh hey, this stupid season is still here.

One thing I’ll say about Nicaragua: the challenges have been quite a bit more inventive than usual. This week, contestants were made to hold a metal pole in place by sliding it through a series of rings, and pulling on the rings so the pole couldn’t slip […]

Yet Another Phoned-In Blog Post

Not quite content with being overwhelmed with writing obligations for November, I’ve already started thinking about my obligations for December!

I’m committing to another screenshot-format LP at Talking Time. I’ve decided to go with one of these two games:

or…

Of course, this is contingent on me finishing my current FF1 LP first, […]

Lost Season Two

Having just polished up season two of Lost, I am confident that I have not even the slightest clue what is going on. There is no way I would have been able to watch this show during its heyday and retained my sanity. I would have gone balls-eatingly insane from the wait between seasons.

My […]
