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. […]

Pretty chump move, Brickroad.

I know it’s a chump move, spreading one NaNo update across two days like this. And it’s about to get even chumpier: if I’m going to finish getting caught up, I’m going to have to postpone the finale of my Gaming Heroines series another week. Truly I am history’s greatest monster.

Anyway, here’s that excerpt. […]

Still Failing Pretty Terribly at NaNoWriMo

Not only am I 7500+ words behind, but I forgot to paste my excerpt before I left for game night. I’ll do that as soon as I get home! And then try to catch up some! Maybe.

Sorry for sucking ass!

Still failing at NaNo ’10.

As you can see, I’m way, way under the minimum mark for where I need to be for NaNoWriMo. According to the stats page, if I keep going at this rate, I will be finished by December 5. You’ll notice this is five days late.

Last time I posted an excerpt, someone suggested I just […]

Failing at NaNoWriMo

According to my NaNoWriMo stats page, at the rate I’m going I will finish by December 3rd. So far I’ve done the bulk of my writing at the office, where there aren’t a bunch of crazy distractions like Mafia and Chris-chan and video games.

My Twitter has been absolutely bustling with people lamenting some variant […]

Some map I doodled at work last night.

No idea what I’d use this for, if anything. I present it here without commentary to see if anyone else can make sense of it at all.

Half-a-story: Beacons

Sometimes stories don’t go anywhere. Here’s one I’ve been tinkering with for a while. I think it’s a neat concept, but if there’s an actual story in here somewhere I’m just not seeing it. (Or, rather, I don’t think any stories utilizing this concept would be cooler than the actual concept itself.)

The first […]

Suikoden VI: The 108 Stars of Destiny

There is no Suikoden VI, of course. But it’s nice to speculate. And speculate we did, shortly after Suikoden V came out several years ago. My good buddy FD and I had long conversations about what the grand finale of the Suikoden series might be like: nations from all over the globe teaming up to […]

‘Twas the Fight Before Christmas

Instead of a Nomic comic today, here is a wonderful Christmas comic I put together with some very talented people back in my fanfic-writing days. Enjoy it in good health!

‘Twas the Fight Before Christmas

Zombie Annihilation on 34th Street

a holiday poem by Ricky Scibbe

In the distance there was moaning, A deluge of festive groaning, Dusty vocal chords intoning as they shambled down the way. Dead and gone and freshly buried, So we thought; to the contrary: They rose from their cemeteries, joining us this Christmas Day.

At first we were apprehensive. Some […]
