When NaNoWriMo turns ugly.

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 -0600

Every region in the world that's large enough in participants, has an ML - a Municipal Liaison, someone whose task it is to whip their regional participants into shape and throw NaNo writing get togethers and whatnot.

When one of those ML's gets a bit too free about her choice of words, bad things happen. Bad things that piss off NaNos who already have a lot of frustration ahead of them, and certainly do not need. What exactly happened is below the break.

NaNoWriMo is here again (well, almost)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 -0600

And this year's NaNoWriMo is going to be different. Rather than writing 50.000 words of utter tripe, I've decided to type up all of the stories left untyped (meaning, they're still only in my Moleskine and nowhere else) and edit them. And in addition to that, I'll be writing new stories to fill their wordcount up to 50.000.

Details below, morons!

4th annual 24-hour comic

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 -0600

It's the 4th time already, it's time for OMGRawk 2008, the recurring 24-hour comic event Ben and I keep getting ourselves suckered into. By ourselves. Damn us.

Anyway, there's a webcam link to those who are interested in badgering us (please do, distraction is sorely needed from time to time), and it's fun to watch two dudes draw comics for 24 hours straight, right?

RIGHT?

Link? Oh yeah. After the break, of course.

New Somery is back on the table.

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 -0600

After seeing some more spam comments appear on a friend's somery blog, I've decided to pick up on Somery development once again. There are certain tricks to doing this, however, several ways of going at it, and so far I've only been considering the wrong ones. Read on for some information on what (in my opinion) Somery is currently doing wrong or lacks, and how I intend to fix it.

"Take risks, or you lose!"

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 -0600

From the Moleskine Archives

That has to be the most profound and fitting subject to an email spam message I’ve ever received. So profound and fitting, that it set my brain aflutter with thoughts I’ve been too afraid to seriously entertain for far too long now. Too afraid, huh?

Fuck, that’s become my default modus operandi nowadays.

Writing Update

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 -0600

As far as stories go, I'm in content-lock mode, meaning that unless something leaks out, I'm not going to spend a lot of time writing the coming months. If I get awesome ideas, I'll jot 'm down in my moleskine for later, but I need to focus on getting my stories print-ready.

Now, what IS little old Robin working on?

Don't Forget the Future #2

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 -0600

Another update. After the last post I thought I was done writing, but I can't stop, for some reason. I just wanted to update the story list with the new stories, to keep y'all in the loop and whatnot.

So here's the updated list :)

The Doctor's Note.

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 -0600

About 8 months ago, I felt I needed to do something about my physical condition. I wanted to lose weight and train my joints - my knees in specific. Two of my friends had also been considering getting a subscription to a gym, and we decided to do it together. We went into it enthusiastically and planning to do some good, hard work there and get ourselves back into shape. It started off fairly well, but not long after my resolve waned and not long after disappeared.

The Motions we Know.

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 -0600

We all have our own traditions, little things we do our own way. They're hardly ever unique, but they sure feel that way. This is with anything we do - we all hold a pen differently, we all hold a camera differently (and oftentimes will choose our subject matter and methods of portraying them differently as well) and we sure as hell use computers in a way that's gotten to become 'our' way.

I've found my ways around computers are fucking set in stone. Concrete lined with marble, with a titanium centre containing something really, really radioactive and bad.

Sleepless Handicraft.

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 -0600

Sometimes I have trouble sleeping. Yesterday was one of those times. I then have options, most of which will keep me awake rather than get me sleepy. One thing I've found to work well is to create something. I don't care what it is. Sometimes it's drawing, sometimes I'll quietly write a song, sometimes I'll write something.

This time I made a stove.
