Because I can...

I walked home (with my hands full, as you do) and I popped the lid off and nearly soaked myself, but I did get around to giving it a sip, and...

You did alright, Starbucks. Not your best work, seeing as it could have a little bit more flavour to it, as I'm very aware I'm drinking milky, cookie-ish-flavoured ice, but I much prefer a stronger taste to where it's like I'm actually eating a cookie with some cold milk. Other than that, it ain't too bad, I must say.

Ahoy, mateys! It may be a bit late for Talk Like a Pirate Day, but after captaining Admiral Brass and crew to the top eight of me local prerelease, I be feeling saltier than a piece of hardtack soaked in sea spray. Now, let’s see what happens when a literal yellow-belly has to address a mate’s case of scurvy.

With apologies, there will be no new story chapters from me for a while, either on Firefly or Nightmare Night. Why? Several reasons. First, my motivation level for new writing hit zero this week. This is due to a combination of factors, not the least of which is a heavy workload in the form of a must-finish software development project and a nixed vacation because of it. I was supposed to be off to Las Vegas next week to play some poker, but that's now delayed by at

New episode today! Or, if you don't give a fuck, repeat episode. :V But at least it's in English.

In this journal, you will find reviews of that, last week's episode, and two new EQG summertime shorts! Shall we begin the experiment?

Welcome back, writers, to the final Being a Better Writer post … of Topic List #23. Sorry couldn’t resist. If some of you felt a flash of panic there, well, then my prank has been carried out to my satisfaction.

Yo! What the heck is up with the download versions?! I wanted to use the epub or txt files so my brother could help me with my story, but when I printed either one all the bold and italics text was normal. So I say again, what the heck?!

Hello readers, and welcome back to another post of Being a Better Writer, coming to you bright and early this Tuesday morning.

Yeah, Tuesday. Mondays shifts at my part-time job again. Just a fair heads-up, I’ve got a Monday shift next week too, so next week’s BaBW post will also be delayed. It happens. And I need the money, so …

Welcome back readers, to Being a Better Writer! Yes, it's a day late, but I warned you guys. Unfortunately, I have that part-time job, and sometimes that means they want me for most or all of Monday.

Hi everybody, and good morning. So, if you haven't heard, there's this thing with YouTube lately and COPPA (Child Online Privacy Protection Act). COPPA is a good law which prevents the collection of data on children under 13 years old. And, well, YouTube broke that law. So they got sued by the FTC. $170 million, a pittance, really.

Hey writers! Max here. As I warned last week, my move has left me without internet for a–hopefully small–period.

So, I’ll be writing short stories to submit to Hemelein’s Honor and Glory call today. And unpacking.

You readers, though? You get a classic post from Being a Better Writer‘s past. Inspired by a discussion I saw this weekend, let’s talk about how you start your first chapter. You ready? Then hit that jump!

These are some notes I have been taking on nutrition. I am not a doctor or healthcare practitioner, so always ask a doctor about what vitamins and foods should be taking/ eating. These are more or less just general notes about vitamins that are good to take daily to promote good health.

Vitamins that are good for healthy teeth and bones:

Egyptian Mythology: The Creation Story and the Story of Re
