    A quick Slamjam postmortem note

    So, the creator of one of the OCs I wrote about just about flipped his lid at me because I gave his character a gay shipping story, ruining his message of platonic bromance and emotionally vulnerable heterosexual dudes.

    Part 1: Poetry

    “But I hate poetry” well that’s because you’re doing it wrong. A poem of the type that we were told to write in this class is just a short, condensed piece of work that shows who you are and what you do as a writer.

    Lesson 0: Learn the rules before you break them

    I know full well that I'm talking down to a lot of people in this post--my excuse is that writing it out is also a way for me to refresh the lessons in my own mind. Story tags are because I plan to go back and "grade myself" based on my own advice as i write these.

    All is right in ponydom

    I know, I said I would do a thing, and then I didn't.

    I will. I promise. Next post.

    But first, I need to share this with you: a friend has informed me that One Terrible Writer has posted all of his stories, previously thought to be lost forever, on fanfiction.net.

    Knighty HATES him! Honolulu-area baker reveals how to improve your writing with 3 simple rules!

    I’ve seen it a few times, and you probably have too: people will say stuff along the lines of “I bet this person took a community college course in creative writing and now they think they're so great.” It’s a very resonant insult for classists like me. Besides, it’s rooted in fact: the level of literacy needed to pass community college courses in this town is miserably low.

Happy new year, almost · 3:01am Dec 31st, 2013

Bad news: that last fic launch was a pretty resounding failure.

Worse news: I've acquired a bunch of tiny adorable parasites. Collectively they are known as Pokemon.

Good news: I'm picking back up on something that a lot of people have been begging me to. Call it a new year's resolution.

Even as we undertook our century-long work of making preparations for the turning of the Ages, we knew that at least some of our efforts would prove meaningless. Immortal we may have been, but even we could not pretend to hold time itself in our hooves. Therefore, instead of creating a doomed plan for a hypothetical future, we considered many futures, and prepared for them all.

The evolution of politics was predictable; the explosion of technology equally so. Even the advent of body modification was one of many possibilities that we took into account. In the end, we attained considerable success in our impossible task of predicting--and, to some small extent, shaping--the future.

Our failure to consider the possibility that this particular being would survive into the new Age can only be called negligence. Negligence, or stupidity.
