I finished the first draft of my extended writing project today.
That's 6000 words of verbal constipation over and done with, until it comes time to rewrite it all.
It's the single longest piece I've ever written and I'll be first to admit that it is also some of the worst writing I've ever put my pseudonym on. Although it does end on a high... Read More
Well done. I'm proud of you. I'm 1200 words off a 6000 word project myself. You're inspired me to keep going... I was procrastinating, but nay, I can do no more.
It's my first encounter with the police, for anything, in nearly four years (I've been a good boy...good at not getting caught!).
I was doing 76 in 60 zone and the cop that got me was a lone bike officer standing on the side of the road with his radar. He had to run out onto the bitumen... Read More
There are few things in life as frighteningly surreal as watching a fully armed attack-helicopter make it's menacing way across the skies above your uni campus on a rainy Thursday afternoon.

Which is also not helped by the fact I broke into my own house this morning. Took my all of 10 seconds to barge the door with my shoulder.
On the upside, I've been cooking so much stuff. Not for me of course... For Andy. He's all set for three weeks worth of dinners and biscuits and stuff.

Only, he isn't coming home. I don't think it has really sunk in yet.
I'm so doing this...as soon as I find the time and money.
Make a Rubiks Cube out of dice:

Women; they've been a thorn in our side since men stopped hitting them with clubs and tried giving them flowers instead.
I'm about to share my woman troubles, such as they are (I imagine the root of the problems is actually myself) with the world. If you don't care to read yet another whiny emo post, I suggest you move on.
Just a tip: Find a partner who has no time for you. That way you don't have to feel guilty about having no time for her. The downside is that you have to coordinate your entanglings with a day planner, but being well-organised is a small price to pay.
the ninja is the unseen assassin... so he bids the crews evil little monkey to do his durghty work..
he teaches the monkey with yummy treats.. for every time the monkey is successful in placing a small object in a cup.. he gets a treat..
then one night.. he is hanging outside the captains quarters.. he sees the monkey and calls him over.. gives him a small poisonous pill.. and instructs the monkey to go for the jug of rum....
This is going to be one of those self-indulgent writers' posts...
I have, for one of my units, to go through my own writing once a week and find a sentence I think really works and that I'm proud of. This is tougher than it sounds.
I was looking at some of my old work just now and found a page of haikus I wrote... Read More

Looking forward to getting a peep
