Today while I was sitting in the office (my fancy name for the spare bedroom) trying to decide what to blog about the toilet started up again. Today it was all “bwop, bwop, bwop, bwop, bwop”. At first I ignored it but it just kept going like a stuck record of a baritone scat singer [...]

Infidelity

I am being tempted. It has come. Curse of the writer mired by the tribulations of a difficult Work in Progress. I struggle and sweat to get through so many difficult little scenes and it is hard to keep going. I’ve done this twice before, I know I’ll get through. Probably. Then tonight I was [...]
Mini-update

I’ve been working on a full update of all of my creative goals but it’s actually a bit daunting to sort it all out. I have so many interests that at times I get bogged down and nothing gets done on any of them. So I’m going to use the goals update to really look [...]
Autotext. Now as Inspiration.
Posted in Scriptfrenzy on March 20, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Today during a conversation with PiscesMuse I noticed my new phone’s autotext automatically capitalizes the word bacon like it is a god or a country, or possibly a day of the week. In honour of this stupendous idea I have written this short as a warm up for Scriptfrenzy. An empty stage save for a [...]
My Quirky New Apartment

Fair warning: I will talk about my toilet in this blog post. Your are warned. I have moved five times in the last 5 years and lived in 15 different homes in my 30 years on this planet. In fact I moved into home #15 on my 30th birthday about a month ago. Aside from [...]

“Battle wounds” or “Why you shouldn’t sass a man who is about to legally shove burning things in your flesh” or “I need a better nemesis”

Warning: long-ass post I think that before cauterizing a wound the Doctor should be legally obligated to say “Hi! I’m going to burn you until you’re better!” and then he shoves his cauterizing tool into your flesh and you wonder how you’re definition of better could possibly differ so wildly from another person’s definition of [...]
Taking Inspiration from Real Life

I am terrified of falling down stairs. I would say I was phobic but as my fear springs from a totally rational source I am clearly right to fear stairs. The problem is that I tend to fall down them. Sometimes I trip over some dangling thing I failed to notice. Sometimes I slip on [...]
Shaking It Up
Posted in Current Progress, Goals, Scriptfrenzy, tagged blog format, book reviews, Goals, multitasking, script writing, Scriptfrenzy on March 7, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
So far this blog has been primarily used for writing updates because I am working on my skills as a writer. Word count updates have proved a challenge to do in a way that’s interesting. So, though I will continue to do updates about my goals, progress and achievements as a writer, I will also [...]
