So, not only did my only up to date copy of the story I'm working on (106 pages last I checked) get corrupted to the point where I was unable to recover anything, but it completely vanished during an attempted recovery. Fortunately, I have a draft I sent to my brother on the 16th, so I didn't lose too much. Some of the scenes will be a little hard to replicate. Overall, an annoying loss, and definitely a headache filled evening. Rewriting. Euh. That about sums up how I feel. I think I'll sac
That song officially takes place as one of my least favorite. Bleh, what can I say? Occasionally my choir has/is given a poor music selection. The sad part is that we almost sang another song instead, but my choir director had forgotten the sheet music for it.
Yes, I seem to be in that state, not just here but online in general... Just got back from my brother's, refreshed from a weekend of constant philosophic and writing talk. My story has reached 81 pages, and I've finally began to hit waves of writer's block. :/ The Hunger Game RPG is kinda on a back burner right now.
I'm trying desperately the video shown in the Hunger games movie at the reaping. All I can remember is that it started with "war. Terrible war." And I really want to use it for the intro to the HG RPG.
Fifty-six pages of writing on one story, probably closer to fifty when you cut out parts that are in mid edit. This has got to be my all time record. The annoying thing is that I've pretty much ditched my first draft, wasting 26K words.
Although I am of that strange group that actually liked A Thousand Suns, if Burn it Down is a good example of LP's new album, it will as good, and probably better than A Thousand Suns. It doesn't sound much like Hybred Theory or Meteora. I would say that it sounds quite similar to Minutes to Midnight, which is good, because I quite like that album.
So I tweaked with our old computer, and finally got it to stop malfunctioning. Result? We have a working laptop, up to date, although I intensely dislike writing on it, as it has an uncomfortable setup and feel, and an ancient Pentium, windows 2K desktop computer, which i find very comfortable. Result? I now have a computer that I can happily write on.
That song is officially one of the most epic hymns in existence (Aside from Adoro te Devote!), I'm currently playing it on my computer. Have a blessed Easter, everyone.
When you use an official character, yet you inevitably butcher their character for the simple reason that their character is utterly foriegn to you. I think I'm going to say 'screw this, I'm mutating this character's character.' Much easier.
I'm transcribing from my intellect. Seriously, it's annoying how I write an entire story in my mind, and it takes forever to write down, not to mention how it never sounds as good... Off topic, American Dream by Casting Crowns is simply epic.
The Mockingjay is redeemed (partially). And all because I found a fanmade version of The Hanging Tree. Seriously, it's the most epic song I've heard in a while.
Yeah, CotD dropped down to seventh, five votes behind third, and there's only a day to go. What's worse is that none of the RPGs i want to play are in the top three.
That sums up my view on The Mockingjay, as well as the moral standings of most of the characters. Revenge, suicide, et cetera, all annoyed me. Yeah, the ending made me feel like throwing up. Seriously. I mean, I may like tragic endings, but in all honesty, this one... Felt wrong, incredibly wrong. So yeah, I like the first book a lot, the second book was good, and the third was partially tolerable. Overall though, the ending has a habit of tainting the rest of the story: I doubt I'll reread
With the fanatical bookworm impatience to read Catching Fire. XD Hopefully I can find it online with semicolons, colons, apostrophes, and quotation marks.
And in accordence with my bad luck, it's an online version that removed all apostrophes and quotation marks, as well as (I think) semicolons and colons. Fun, fun fun.
These sixteen RPGs will represent BZPower's RPG forum in the 23rd quarterly RPG contest. May the odds be ever in their favor! Hunger game misquotes aside, the voting on RPG Contest 23 has begun. CotD, as of now, is in a three way tie for third place. It needs more love. Also, the first RPG Critics Club is up.
Having gotten approval from Black Six, I am currently working on the starting post. If you wish to become a critic, PM me. And yes, critics are needed pretty badly right now.
Another RPG contest, and I enter again. From the time I started RPing, I have only missed entering two contests. In past contests, I entered such RPGs as A Universe Divided, which to my astonishment made it to the finals (it stinks, just ftr). Then I flipflopped between a BZP themed RPG and a HF crossover, and ended up submitting a revised AUD. I didn't win, thankfully, as I had no skill at GMing and no idea where the plot would go. The next contest, I entered SPIRIT's Warzone, and it won. Thi
This idea has been fluttering through my mind for a while, helped definitely by the little feedback I get in the RPG planning topic. Let's face it, reviews in the planning topic are sparse, and reviewers are few. The contest entries get better reviews, but even then, you don't get many. Who is for this?
