Yes, I am still alive · 10:11pm Mar 6th, 2012
Just a quick update to let everyone know what's going on, and why I haven't posted anything recently. While, as the post entry states, I am still alive (cue Portal ending theme), I am not healthy. On a Dungeons and Dragons scale, where zero equals dead, ten is average for a person and anything above that is great, I probably have a constitution score of 6-7. So when I get sick, my body tends to take a long time shrugging things off. The last couple of weeks, I have been well enough to go to work, but when I get home, I am drained. I'll surf the internet for a bit, post a comment or two here and there, and then go to bed. I've tried opening up the file for the latest chapter of Phases of the Moon, but I'm lucky if I have the motivation to write more than a sentence or two. Which really sucks because I know how most of it is going to go, I just need to write it down. Sigh. On the bright side, I'm not in the hospital (pardon me while I knock on wood), and I am taking care of myself. So, hopefully, I'll either kick this thing soon, or it will get bad enough that work will be okay with me missing time off to go see a doctor and get some prescriptions.
For those utterly desperate to read something new by me, um, well, there is the my entry for the February Write-Off for you to peruse, 'On a Razor's Edge'. Written in half of the time of most of the other entries due to my schedule not lining up well with the writing period, I'm still moderately pleased with the final result. Most likely there are still numerous errors in it, since I didn't have time to send it to my pre-reader, and the plot itself would have benefited from having the three extra days I missed out on to polish it up. Still, if I may be allowed a moment of being boastful, I think it's a better story than most of the entries (at least, compared to the ones I looked at when judging). So, feel free to give a look through if you want. I'm especially proud of the "monster" I came up with, the Razorback.
And here I said this would be a quick update. Yeesh. Okay, enough tossing my thoughts at the computer; time for me to get ready for work.
You should eat raw garlic marinated in unpasturized honey while drinking ginseng tea spiked with cinnamon and taking a bath in apple cider vinnegar in a turkish bathhouse while getting slapped on the shoulder by a sumo wrestler.
The Razorback. Why, oh why must every idea I try to come up with be beaten to the punch by someone who can think faster than me... Oh well. XD
Sick is no fun
Hope you feel better soon

That treatment works wonders, though I found you have to get good at timing swallows with a sumo wrestler smacking you.
