    Ot No, It's WriteOff Time

    The sun, moon, stars, and hearts of all WriteOffTopia have aligned in a never before seen triple helix shape, finally allowing the Dread Prompt "Ot" to escape its prison beneath the long forgotten dreadwaves. So, if you want a chance to write some silly or serious or

    Happy New Year!

    And more importantly to me because calendar breakpoints are functionally arbitrary: new story going up soon. Soon-ish, it's in queue, however long that takes. Nothing too fancy or too long, just a mildly expanded version of one of my recent WriteOff entries.

    Fin

    I self banned myself from FimFic until I could get around to watching the finale. Of course, I had to watch all of season 9 first, so it took me a while. I had nearly 60 notification to go through and, full disclosure, I kind of skimmed them because...

    My heart hurts. I physically ache.

    WriteOff Shill: Redux: Artlectic Bugaboo

    So, it's about that time again. Figure I'd plug the WriteOff event before it actually got started this time. Seems helpful. Anyway, this is one of our odd rounds, called "pic2fic." Instead of writing a story based on a prompt, we'll be having art submissions based on the chosen prompt and then writing our stories based on one (or more) pieces of the submitted art.

ADHD - The D's both stand for "Diablo" · 5:40pm Jun 2nd, 2012

Which would be much funnier if there were 3 of them instead of just two. Blizzard foils my humor yet again.

If I had spent as much time writing after the semester ended as I have laying waste to the denizens of Hell, my box would runneth over with pony words (to steal a not uncommon phrase from another user). My mouse hand is pretty close to dead, so I'll have to stop soon whether I like it or not. But you know what? I think I'm a little scared to start writing again. I haven't really put anything worth while down on paper since Freshman year in High School - that was 2002 (?) if anyone cares.

It's sad to think of any legitimate avenue of interest peaking in 9th grade, but my past self is my own worst enemy. I wonder if the professionals ever think to themselves, "How the hell am I going to top my last book? Maybe I shouldn't have worked so hard and left myself somewhere to go."

My AA (whatever the hell that stands for) English teacher compared some of my writing to Charles Dickens. Either he was blowing smoke up my ass, or teen me is going to be a tough act to follow. I don't have all that raw angst and emotion these days. Being emotionally stable sucks. Vodka, perhaps?

It's all been bland English essays and slightly less vanilla Philosophy papers - and one failed Creative Writing class. Bless that teacher's heart for having such a well thought out method, but my muse was off being a fickle bitch somewhere else. My attractive Amazonian classmate managed an entire novel's worth of Xena fan fic, somehow. It REALLY shouldn't have surprised me that she ended up less interested in men than I hoped.

It is now - holy shit - June 2nd. I promise, dear future readers, fans, haters, and lovers, and vagrant browsers who didn't quite get what they wanted from the "Sexy Twilight" Google search - that by month's end I will have something to show for my long dormant love of authorship and still smoldering love of My Little Pony. My job prospects have gone nowhere and school doesn't start until August, so I have no excuse. I've made a little more mental progress on what I want to do with my story, and it involves ... well, you'll see.

I wonder if I can be cool and put pictures in my posts? That seems like a lot of work.

Holy crap it works! And it's easy.

P.S. - Inferno mode is a dirty, dirty bitch for melee classes. Demon Hunters and Wizards: Screw you.
