Imagine training grounds where writers would exercise in writing under strict watch of higher ups like in miltary boot camp.

Firs thing I thought as an Image was...
Bunch of writers in half-military clothes marching a mile while shouting this:

We are singing silly chime.
We are singing silly chime!
Hey-oh-heh!
Hey-oh-heh!

We are writing paperback.
We are writing paperback!
Till we get our payday check.
Till we get our payday check!

8 hours. Eight hours of trying to complete one track in Trackmania Canyon. With breaks for breakfast and dinner.
8 hours of pain in the fingers.
8 hours of staring into monitor.
8 hours of training.
8 hours of searching for flaws, finding them and fixing them.
8 hours of playing.

Worth it.
+1 Reflex save roll.
+1 Stress resilience.
+20 sanity points.

Finally I have unlocked the Black tracks.

Maybe for most players of Trackmania it was easy, but for me it was a good challenge.

I've got a job.
Good.
I got paid.
Great.
I bought games on steam from my wish-list.
Wonderful!
I even played most of them even if a tiny bit, but I'll choose what to play more and what to save for later.
Excellent.
Today I've got optical wire installed instead of old ADSL.
Splendid!

I've bought Anno 2070.
It has surprisingly LONG download time.
It required setting up another account in another system (Uplay) wasn't intending to use.

Note to self: never read anything about Pinkie Pie at work.
*Bites finger* ow.
That helped.

Even most depressing story about Pinkie might actually be funny.

"I am not the actor".
The scene is sad, the scene is heartbreaking in how clone tries to be Pinkie and fails without knowing (not spoilering anything right now).
But how it's done makes me really want to laugh.

Well, it's a holiday and probably a good day to make a blog post.

First of all, hey, I'm still here and reading stories.
Second, I've got a job that takes all my skills and makes me combine them.
Third, I'm learning drawing (Betty Edwards lessons).

Not much to say about first point. * shrug *
Still taking my time to practice throwing words at the wall to see what sticks. Sometimes results are not horrible.
And still not worth posting.

Second. Job.

Nothing more to say here.

Imagine something done in a way bad way.
Now imagine it done even worse.

Keep imagining till it becomes good through breaking -mark of being bad. Like with programming and 1 byte numbers. It can't be less than -255 and making it less makes it 255.

If that made no sense to you, probably the video will.

Nnnn... Yea... Should've slept today.

Stupid android and stupid Writer not saving stuff when exiting application. Now I have to re-write everything I have said.
But most importantly, I have to make characters re-do the scenes or remember what I wrote.

I don't know why it is so frustrating to loose few hundreds of words when I mostly remember everything that happened.

Finally. It has come. The time when I try to write at every possible opportunity and can't stop till I finish the scene.

I've read so many stories.
I've read so many guides.

"Quantity -> Quality" in it's finest.

Even though English is not my native language, I'll do my best to be as good as I can be.
Even if the idea is as used as it can be... I'll try to give it a different spin.

While looking through Tumblr I saw a picture of Twilight Sparkle holding a book and a magic wand. Thought about Harry Potter.

Hm. If magic needs a focus (an item that focuses energy into a single spot) then what about Internet and computers?
If use misplaced logic, PC/Mac/etc is a focus that is used to create wonderful/horrible worlds with a few clicks and taps of keys.

The Magic of Technology.
