Windows 7

I upgraded today. It took a while, but is is WORTH IT.
It’s much more stable than Vista, from what I’ve seen, and it’s much easier on my hardware.
It’s also very. VERY accessible with peripherals. My tablet is fun fun with it. And MS paint no longer SUCKS!!! Still needs layers, though, but fun fun nonetheless.
I’m still going through the features, so I’ll tell you when I learn more.

Tablet

This thing’s awesome, but it takes a bit of hand training. Of course, you don’t get a 1-1 draw ratio, unless your screen is the same size as the drawing area, but once you get the hang of it, some of the smaller gripes go away.
Crayon physics, World of Goo, and Many smaller physics games that have you drawing lines are now twice as fun.

You know, I forgot I had this.

So I’m going to start using this in place of twitter. Because god knows I’ve met too many adbots on there.
So, I’ll rant about stuff between DA journal posts, seeing as it’s much less formal (in my mind) here than it is on DA.

I need to update this more often.

So I’m going to attempt to add this to my daily netual.

In other news, I’m a graduate now, and my Deviantart is doing well. My writing hit a wall for a bit, so I’m concentrating on other things now. Namely writing stories other than Burning Heart.

Also, anyone who reads this, let me know if you’d be interested in seeing an episodic writing series from me.

After the break

Woo! Blogging from school again.
I put up some art, and a story on my DA.
I’m gonna write some more; it’s fun!

Back on the ball!

I’m climbing back up from my sudden valley of unfun.
I got a piece of art posted, and am trying to get over the loss of my poor MP3 player.

For parties interested.

Working on another, too!
I’m having fun with art again!

Blew a creativity fuse.

Being sick the other day made me realize. My brain is broken. Borked. Kaput. I can’t do a whole lot of creative stuff lately. I have a distinct lack of music in my life, lately. I blame that. Granted, it doesn’t stop me from trying. The infinite power of God would probably be enough to stop me from TRYING to be creative. Probably. Maybe.
I seem to be less funny, as well. I’m so far off the ball, I might as well be playing frisbee.

If anyone out there DOES follow this, leave a message after the beep.
*beep*

I have decided.

The punishment shall be DEATH!

Actually, I decided that I want to write in short bursts more than in one long burn, inside joke. Therefore, I am going to write an episodic series while I write the long story as well. On what, I don’t know yet, but I’ll have an idea, and maybe a poll for the twelve of you that keep up with me. But right now, my intro ideas are:

1-A young girl, and a young woman wake up in an apartment, neither have any idea who they or the other is.

2-Repair shop owner and half-brother meet a female humanoid android, who is basically the most perfect machine ever created.

3-The son of a late US special agent meets an alien girl and is pursued by all sides.

4-A young man has an encounter with a mentally fragile yet obscenely powerful girl and her keeper.

5-A young knight is on the run from a kingdom he betrayed and is caught by a member of a magical tribe that is just as prejudiced against humans as humans are to them.

6-A doctor in a third-world country is captured by a local militia group and imprisoned with an abused mute girl.

7-A man on a desert planet angers a group of bandits and is left to die in the middle of nowhere. He comes across a magical spring, is contacted by a goddess and finds a girl from a different time in the water.

8-A cop is pursuing a notorious hacker, wanted for shutting down many important facilities. During a raid on one of the suspected hideouts, he meets a teenage hacker girl who has been severly beaten, is bleeding, and near death.

EDIT: Actually, just comment on what you think. It’ll be easier for me to keep track of it like that. Also, more ideas

Short Story Get!

I finished the short story, it’s about five pages long (single spaced). I posted it Here!

This has not only strengthened my resolve to write my main story, but it makes me want to write more short stories, as well. If you enjoyed it, leave some feedback! I need all the encouragement I can get!

I kind of want to do a light novel/episodic series, too. Short little stories relating to an overarching plot. Like episodes of a tv show, basically. Voice your opinion on that, too!

Taking a break from work with…work.

I felt like a change of pace, so I’m doing a short story to be posted on the interwebs. It’ll probably be done within the week. So, you lucky dogs will be able to get a taste of my writing style!

…

Yeah, I know. I’m kinda worried to see what all zero of you think. But maybe it will drive some traffic here.

Oh, it’s gonna be pretty sappy. Starts out in a hospital with a young girl. You draw your own conclusions. I’ll write mine.

EDIT: Okay, let time get away from me, but I guess having a story to switch to and back isn’t a bad thing. It’s a quarter done. On the plus side, the written portion of Burning Heart is nearing completion. 95%.
