    She Changed How Math Works

    Forty-three point four six isotopic density times three, considering the mass of the specimen. Add one-forty-four, plus the product of my experimental equation... I punched the numbers.

    43.46 x 3 + 144 + 81.562

    Multiply that by 57. Add 9,289... Double the sum... Subtract 58287.8571, and I got...

    Fifty-five.

    She Tried to Stop Me

    THUD! Ow, dammit! She dropped a bookshelf on me from behind, that sneaky little horn-having vagrant. It hurt like fury. Discrete logarithms would probably be a little more difficult for a week or so, but I didn't go down. He face sunk as she realized all it did was piss me off.

    Her horn lit up again, but I was already in mid leap, rocketing toward her.

    Dump Truck

    Talked with the wife and kids.

    Moving to California.

    While I'm trying to finish my novel.

    Also, I'm attempting to edit chapters 9 - 12 of Source. Thus, I can release them all within a reasonable time frame instead of this one chapter every two months garbage.

    Too much going on.

    Pondering a New Job

    I was just offered a job at a boutique publishing house in SoCal, and I'm giving it some major consideration. Working at a firm where I'm literally 33% of the editorial staff has always been a dream. The pay is comparable and my wife will be able to get a better job. Decisions, decisions.

    Any Bronies in Orange County?

I Got These Riddles, Man · 1:53am Jan 2nd, 2014

It may be a trite and overused trope (Tolkien, anyone?), but I have a "riddle session" scene in Source planned. Below are some that I've basically pulled out of my ass; all are no doubt permutations of riddles I've heard and assimilated. I've chosen them for their adherence to inherent themes of the narrative. All of you random visitors out there, please feel free to critique my wording, delivery, or just answer the damn riddles and assess their inherent "riddle" value.


What comes in the night uncalled and leaves in the day unstolen?

What can you break by saying its name?

I fly without wings, roam without legs, and make magic with no horn. I create concerts for lovers and murder for tyrants. I make the beautiful and drive the beautiful mad. What am I?

In a one-story pink house, there was a pink pony, a pink cat, a pink fish, a pink computer, a pink chair, a pink table, a pink telephone, a pink shower– everything was pink! What color were the stairs?

What bends all colors, left by the moon for the sun to steal?

Walk on the living, there is nothing to say.
Walk on the dead, they will give you away.

>Also, as I am accustomed to including, an excerpt:

"What in theee-actual Tartarus do you want a cybernetic leg for? You can't put weapons on a damn leg. It'd make the stupid thing weigh thirty bails. Think about it, all a' your legs have to weigh exactly the same, or you'll be kissin' floor tile on the hourly."

I mulled over that.

"Also, mods. What, you want a damn mutli-tool? The servos alone... Do you know anything about mechanical engineering? How are you going to walk with that trash? Here's a tip: get a normal, safely cloned leg, and wear something with pockets. Also, get outta my shop. You bug me, and you bug my fish."
