    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.

So, chapter releases. Those are helpful to keep readers happy and draw in new ones, yes?

I had a bit of an episode the other week. Nothing crazy, just some sunburned hands after a long ride. I went up there to try to work on the next chapter, but the cool weather was too calming and enjoyable to dig into the depths of psychological torture I require. So, I sat in the park for a few hours and watched the scenery. Stupid me though it would be a good idea to ride in the midday Summer sun without proper skin protection. The Arizona sky is a cruel bitch.

It didn't go well. It was actually a whole helluva lot worse than it looks. My camera is terrible and pales everything down. Both hands got it, for the record.

Moreover, I had this little issue of "imminent vagrancy" that I had to resolve. It kept me a little distracted. I got that as resolved as it's going to be for the next couple months, so hurray for that.

On a brighter note, now that my hands are up for endurance typing again, I've been working on a pitch for Cracked.com. Turns out they pay random schmucks like me to write articles! Who knew? It's my first attempt at comedy (with a creamy, semi-serious center), so cross your fingers. I've also requisitioned some literary advice from a few sources. Hopefully that will show in my next piece.

Oh and this. Not crazy about the music, but I'm a sucker for good syncing.

Now for beer and ponies.
