Oh, yeah, that's right. Is it my turn to be dictator yet?

Indeed. Meanwhile, I joined the dark side.

![]() What genre did you try? I'd love to try to write a book, but I can't think of a plot that I consider original enough to actually put work into it. I feel like it would all be just copy-cat from something I've already read.

I decided to mesh genres. Paranormal, which is one of my normal genres, and Apocalyptic, with zombies and all that, which I have never done

Yeah, it turns out most of what I'm drawn toward when it comes to reading is sci-fi/fantasy, but mostly I read teen fiction (I find I really don't trust adult fiction not to be explicit anymore - and even some of the classic stuff is pretty racy at times) ... And I've actually started picking up CHILDREN'S chapter books since the teen stuff is getting rather sordid also.

I usually write fantasy and paranormal. Paranormal is actually more recent since I won a spot in an anthology with a paranormal short story.
Personally I like leaving stuff to the imagination and I really don't do the sordid stuff

I agree. I hate explicit sex in my reading matter. I have actually taped portions of the Sookie Stackhouse novels together so I don't have to wade through all that

Oh, that's quite clever and funny, Nerwen! I don't know if I could bring myself to do that to my books, but I do like that.
I'm working my way through the Wheel of Time books now. Oh, and I also have officially started my career as a Youtube gamer! I've got a couple videos uploaded and will probably make them public in a couple of days. I feel like my commentary game leaves quite a bit to be desired, but that's okay. I'll get better.

I got four uploaded and decided to redo them all. Turns out recording over Bluetooth makes for BAD quality audio. I'll put up links when I end up getting them all fancy-schmancy'ed up.
Ugh. Anyone else have the sick? We're coughing and sneezing and snotting all over the place in my house. And that's more than usual, what with the baby and all.

Well, if I know my tech right then what happened last month can also happen this month if our bandwidth keeps getting used up at the same rate. Hence the 'for now'.

Horrible. I'm pretty sure it's the worst garbage I have ever written, but I'm not allowed to delete it. My sister said she'd cause me bodily harm if I did lol

Heh, sounds like it has at least one fan already.
![]() One writer once compared garbage writing to manure, okay, it still means it's basically crap, but use it right, let it compost and beautiful things can grow out it later on. It was kinda obvious she was a gardner ![]() |
