Strife's Notebook

So, I've been doing more watching of the History channel, mainly because they've been showing a nifty show 'Dogfights' that show historical dogfights and disect them. It's actually rather well done, with damn good CG, and good background on the planes, and on the tactics, and even interviews with the actual pilots where available, and Airforce flight instructors too.

The only complaint? Is the narrator's rather 'jerky' narration of the action. Still, it's good enough that it's got me hooked! n.n

Current Mood: cheerful

So yeah, it's been 11 weeks (that's right, amost 3 months, again). I've really got to not do that again. And yeah, well, I've just not had the drive to write anything. No seriously, I've sat here with Word open and everything and still nothing came from it.

Well, I'll continue doing what I do, and we'll see.

Current Mood: contemplative

Oh my fucking god! Has it really been since the end of October since I last posted?! It would seem so...*ducks head in shame*

This is the problem with being pulled into the wonderful wold of MU*s, I suppose. No writing has gone on, as I haven't felt like writing anything (and I've been elsewhere busy). Well, I'll try to get something written, but no promises....

Current Mood: embarrassed

...has gone on since I last posted. The reason? I just found a rather fun game taht has kept me sidetracked from any other pursuits.

My desktop computer has also crapped out, which further compounds the problem. Hopefully, I'll get back into my writing grove, but I don't know when....

Current Mood: complacent

...I'll give you all another update on my writing!

While Pryde and Frost hasn't seen much movement since I last posted about my writing for it, but act/chapter two is well on its way to being done. I doubt it'll be posted within the next week or two, but it's being written at least.... :P

In my Anime of Darkness 'verse, I've been working on a rework of the Sailor Moon part of the 'verse, and I _can_ say that I've decided that the Inners won't be magical girls (in the Anime sense, at least). I'm planning on making them a cabal of mages, so that'll be an interesting change of dynamics...and I doubt I'll have to do much rewriting of the stuff I've aready released for that part of AoD, so that's good.

That's about all I've been working on, unfortunately. My BGC 2036 story 'verse has, once again, falen to the wayside, and the Sword & Sorcery story that I so want to write keeps getting shot down by my Muse.

Anyway, I doubt I'll have anything to post within the next week or so, but I _am_ working on my stories!

Current Mood: contemplative

So, while I don't have anything to post for Pryde and Frost, I can happily say that I've started to write for it in earnest. Which is great, I think, I've managed to sort some stuff out in RL and have managed to get back into my writing groove.

Yeah, not much to tell, but it's the little things that make the world go 'round.

Current Mood: chipper

So, I've recently been slammed with RL issues...so my writing hasn't got the wings I'd like it to have. :(

Well, whatever; I'm still focused on getting stuff out. Mainly I've been throwing stuff at my computer screen to see what sticks in regards to Pryde and Frost. However, I'm contemplating going back through my other stuff, to see if I can get some inspiration to write for some of my other stories (I have so many of them...).

Still, it looks like it'll be a while before I get anything else out....

Current Mood: blah

Yes, I have, yet again, started up a new story.



Go check it here!

Current Mood: chipper

...How a writing mood and turn in just a day. Where before I was rushing headlong into smut, now I'm rushing head long into a romantic mush type story. Well, not quite...but it'll have all the hallmarks of that style; still, I do have some smut planned for it. *cue evil laughter*

Anyway, those two smutty stories I was talking about the other day? Have been back burnered for a bit while I try to get the steam going for this third story I'm writing.

It's odd, of these three stories, one is the continuation of Sexy Warrior Sailormoon, and the other two? They're X-Men fics.

Which, will I've always had an interest in writing, I've never been able to trick myself into starting one (I don't know the comics well enough to pull it off). Thanks to Shanejayell though, I've got a comic geek in my back pocket who can help me muddle through.

Beware folks, there's three of us now (Dan, Shane, Me). The apocalypse approaches....

Current Mood: predatory

...so, for the last couple of days, I've been pounding out stuff for two stories, though neither are ready to be posted yet. This is good, it means I'm starting to get back into the writing groove.

Of course, most of what I've been writing has been rather...smutty. That's okay, I've been meaning to try my hand at writing erotica. I do have a couple of stories that are more...smutty that I keep meaning to come back to.

Anyway, I'm taking a break from writing today mainly because I'm starting to feel a little strained, and the ideas aren't coming right now.

Current Mood: content

Gah, I haven't updated in over 10 days!

I didn't mean to let this slip, but I've been busy trying to find something I wanted to write, seeing as my writing mood is rather mercurial. I have been writing in my Sexy Warrior series, so don't worry about that, but I've also been pounding out a little bit for a new writing project that Shane has been helping me with.

What does this mean? It means that I doubt anything will be put out by me any time soon.

...Sexy Warrior Sailor Moon: Fighting for Love and Sex.

Now that I've posted the first episode, I can actually give some background on this. See, I started it several months ago in early spring. Mainly because I had no idea how to write a sex scene. Tasteful or otherwise.

So, I started to write, what I thought, would be an internal story. That is, something that only I, and a few close friends would get to see. It was to help me figure out how to write erotica, in a way.

I gave up on it soon after, having lost interest in writing anything erotic. I thought it was a failed experiment and was done with it, you see. I only kept it on my my harddrive because, like all of my failed stories, I figured I may be able to get something out of it at a later date.

However, about a week ago, I got looking through my 'failed' directory, and found a little story that was half finished about a rather perverted take on the whole Sailor Moon mythos.

Sexy Warrior Sailor Moon: Fighting for Love and Sex.

I started kicking around ideas for it again with Dan Wisner, but ultimately wasn't really thinking of finishing it. Then Shane joined us on YIM, and I happened to have it open, and I sent him a copy; to see what he thought of it, you see.

He wanted me to finish it, and the brainstorming of it started again in full. It still is, in fact. Anyway, I finished it, with a lot of encouragement from both Shane and Dan.

The next episode is currently being written, and I hope to get it done in a timely manner (instead of letting it languish on my harddrive for months). It promises to be even more fun to write.

So, for those of you who haven't read the story yet, I'll summarize it like this: It's a hilariously perverted look at Sailor Moon.

At least, I hope it's hilarious. I feel I have no right to say if it is or not; everyone thinks their jokes are funny after all, even if they aren't. I do know that the story is perverted though, so that's something. ^_-

Current Mood: contemplative

So yeah, that Sailor Moon story I said I was working on? I finished episode one.

It's got a lot of adult content in it, so be warned.

Enjoy!

Current Mood: bouncy

So, Shane has persuaded me to finish up one of my older fics. It was originally written on a lark; I was never going to post it, I don't think. Anyway, I lost interest in it...which happens on stories that are larks.

So, my interest and enthusiasm in the story has ben renewed, and I've been working on it again. Thankfully, Dan and Shane have been helping me get ideas of it, so that's all good. And I still remember some of my ideas for the story before I let it 'go cold' so to speak....

I've only got a little bit to write to finish the first 'episode,' so hopefully I'll have it out so *crosses fingers...and toes...and eyes...and...*

Current Mood: excited

...and I've started to correct the various errors in my BGC 2036 - Back in the Saddle story. While I have no idea how, or even if, I will be writing the next story in my BGC 2036 story universe. The problem being I've since lost my notes on it.

Anyway, it isn't a lot of work, but I'm kinda happy that I am doing creative work, and all that.

Here's hoping that I don't lose interest, eh?

Current Mood: hopeful

I've managed to shake the Exalted-Kimmie idea (way to complex to make it work), but since then I happened to glance a ta couple of rpg books (aCK!) and had a couple of ideas that have been in my head for a long while resurrected. I've not got much written since.

I hate myself sometimes, I really do.

I'm way to distracted by new story ideas....

Current Mood: cranky

So, I was sitting here, trying to write some more of Flipped Sides (I think I've got that all un-tangled, by the way), but I got sidetracked when I happened to look at my bookshelf. This is never good.

See, I like RPGs. Both playing them, and reading the books on them. Hell, I'll go out and buy a Shadowrun book just to read the 'flavour' text. See, the Shadowrun books are written with a huge amount of 'posts' to a fictitious BBS for the criminal element, documenting interesting things in the Shadowrun world. Then, the last eighth to quarter of the book gives old gaming information about the new things shown.

Some probably don't like that, but I do. It's fun to read this stuff, at least to me.

Anyway, what I saw on my bookshelf was my Exalted 2e books. I'm not going to go into what the Exalted universe is all about, but I will say this: I suddenly want to do a Kim Possible story with Kim being one of the Solar Exalted.

I know that doesn't make sense to those of you who don't know the Exalted universe, and I'm sorry I'm not being more forth coming. All I know, is that the idea won't leave me alone, and because of that, I can't get anything written for 'Flipped Sides.'

Hell, normally, I would just combine the two ideas and be done with it, but, unfortunately, I can't...mainly because it would require me to re-write the entire story, and I'm not ure how to make it all fit.

So, what this means, is that I'm being even slower in getting stuff written than before.

Current Mood: distressed

Yeah, I haven't written anything in the last 4 days. Well, nothing for Flipped Sides or anything else. I have written some stuff for a couple of projects I'm working on with Dan (a friend of mine).

The reason for the none writing, is because I've been trying to get my laptop's wireless network adapter card communicating (through a router) with my desktop computer and sharing the desktop's dial-up connection with my laptop. It's been hit and miss since I got it, but it looks like I've got the bugs ironed out.

Hopefully, they stay ironed out...gah!

Plus, I'm recovering from spending yesterday with my daughter. :P

Current Mood: exhausted

It's almost sad...my chapters aren't very big, but I still have a hard time writing them. Yeah, I'm trying to exlain why I haven't got anything to post for Flipped Sides....

The problem, is htat I need a certain event to happen, and to make the event happen, I keep coming back to making Kim perform an action that is so far out of character that I can't explain it away by saying she's gone bad....

Grr!

Current Mood: frustrated

Well, chapter two has got some work written down for it, which is good, but I haven't written any today, which, while not bad, isn't the best either.

HOWEVER, I am pleased to report that I do know how the story ends...and I had a vague idea before, but now that vague idea is more concrete.

So, that's about all I have to say for now, so it's back to working on my various projects....
