I’ve been cutting back on the game playing a good bit lately. I’m still raiding and getting stuff done on my main character, but I’ve let all the others sit for a bit. Mondays have become the alliance alt day, because it was bugging me that I haven’t seen any of the content from either expansion from that side.
Overall, I’ve had a lot of fun getting back into blogging a bit more, although it seems that I “tweet” more than I “post”. I’m also working at getting the whole diet and exercise thing back on track, and the new phone has a nice app that makes tracking both easy, and it syncs with a site online so I don’t have to remember to update it all the time.
The last step is to get back to writing again. I’ve been following a few people on Twitter that are giving me the bug. I’ve been stashing notes on a story for some time, but there are elements that are just not working for me. I’m not sure if I want to stick it in a box and ignore it for something else, or keep rearranging until I like it.
this whole running a guild thing…..It is teh sux!
I’m still somewhat sane although it’s debatable at times. The officers and I have decided to strip down the guild and focus more on raiding than on the general casual game play that has left us with no one who wants to do anything productive. In other words, shit is going to hit the fan soon.
In the real world adventures, school is starting tomorrow and I have my days back. I’m also rethinking the whole story I was working on, as far as the format. I’m starting to think it would be better presented as a graphic novel, so now I’m looking into restructuring the outlines and such to look at it from a different perspective. If nothing else it’s a good exercise.
From their site listing, it looks like Abney Park will be playing at Dragon con this year 
Yeah, I’m still here, just not in a writing mood at present. With summer rolling in and the husband heading out of town for a week on a conference, it’s just not on the top of the to do list.
I’m finding myself lately with not a whole lot of worthwhile posting material. Granted, I could just throw some pretty pictures up around here, and do some quiz type things, but that’s not what I want to do. I think I may bail on the 365 competition and save the effort for the days when I have something to say. Between gaming, knitting, and writing fiction, there’s not always time to be entertaining around here.
I’m going to sleep on it and see how I feel in the morning.
This is one of the elements of fiction that draws me in and keeps me from getting anything written. Creating a believable environment in which the characters live and breathe is one of my pet peeves. The world has to exist as fully as the personalities of the people who populate it. I’m churning out pages of random notes and details, asking questions and answering those with more questions, there are characters doing the same, from their point of view, and slowly it’s becoming something solid. It’s still very rough, but it has some substance that can be held and felt. Please feel free to throw an opinion on this, I would like to know what you think. More: Read the rest of this entry…
