Another quarter, another story submitted to the Writers of the Future.

This one is called “Guardian of Stonehaven” for the contest, but I just call it “Dane”. It’s available here: http://www.box.net/shared/p4pko3ackg

I am writing a few shorts as part of a longer story arc. There are 4 stories so far, each from a different character’s point of view: Grimoire, Sasha, Dane and Caldorac.

Again, share etc and if you’re famous enough I’ll even let you plagiarize.

Enjoy.

9 December 2007 - 12:53Where’s all the funny at?

I’ve been on the internet for a few years now, and all I’ve got to say is…. where’s all the funny at? I figured I’d be buried by now by all the comedians out there.

I decided to do a review of all my favorite bits out there and write ‘em down, but I couldn’t think of anything. I’ll have to edit this list as I think of things
In no particular order:

- www.youtube.com, enter “laughing baby”. Damn near any clip will do. Thanks to Tieg and Ben for this one. You can’t help but smile.
- www.dilbert.com, because it IS half of corporate america. Go to the archives pages if you really need to kill time.
- www.basicinstructions.net, even better than dilbert. The logo is a picture of the author whacking a friend with a 2×4 labeled “knowledge” with the caption “You will learn”. My favorite comic out there. See this, this or this for an example of my humor.
- Flintlocke, for gamer geeks, preferably those who know what World of Warcraft is. My personal favorite comic strip section is where flicklocke goes on autorun, it’s broken into 10 sections or so (click ‘next’ each time to get the full comic… damned funny). It also has the best Valentine’s Day comic ever

- ???

If you’ve got a favorite, send it to me.

21 November 2007 - 17:38So close, and yet so far

As you may know, oh imaginary blog reader, I submit all of my stories to the Writers of the Future Contest- so far I’ve sent in 3 stories, and got 3 very nice rejection letters.
But in recent news my latest rejection letter said that Grimoire made it to the top 10% before being cut out.  Of course, only 3 stories get picked per quarter and they receive something like 1000 stories a quarter… but hey! I beat out 900 other stories! Only 97 stories left to go!

So that’s something.

21 November 2007 - 17:11Stories for free

Hello non-existent viewers of my blog,

Here are some free stories I have written for friends and family to enjoy or ignore.
The crowd favorite is Grimoire, which is my latest.

My first stories were written as a Christmas present to my wife, and are fittingly called Stories for Jessica, which includes “Station Keeping”, “Waiting for my Return”, and “Biking in Westwood”.

Use freely, distribute, etc, but please don’t call them your own.
Unless you’re famous. In which case it’s cool.
