Okay, yes, I watch Glee (or have been watching it since the third season, anyway, but I've seen most of the first season, too). It's just so hilariously bizarre at times, borderlining so bad it's good, that I kind of have to watch it. So, naturally, the always-active gray matter in my skull (which some people call a brain) came up with this brilliant idea for a Glee fanfic, an idea I came up with after watching the end of the third episode of the fourth season. At the end of the third episod
So I've recently started watching Lost, since the entire series is on Netflix and what not. Thus far I've only seen the first four episodes, but I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far. My favorite character so far is probably John Locke, but that could change as the series progresses. -TNTOS-
I finally passed my driving test today. That means I can now drive without an adult who is 21 years or older in the passenger's seat. I was nervous, but the instructor said I did well and pointed out only a few, very minor, easily fixable problems that I did during the test. It really wasn't as bad as the first time. Maybe it's because I have glasses now, which definitely helped me see things better. Also, I got a new belt, which is something I've been meaning to get a while. So yay and stuf
At the top of the blogs, I saw an interesting advertisement for a writer's publishing kit (or something like that. Can't remember what it was exactly, except that it had something to do with writing). Anyway, it had the delightful title of "Becoming an Writer," which I think tells you all you need to know about these people and their abilities as writers. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of it, but it was there and I had a good laugh at it, so I'm in a pretty good mood right now. -TN
Today I got the third and final book in the Kane Chronicles series, The Serpent's Shadow. I've only read up to Chapter 5 so far, but it's pretty good so far. I've been meaning to get this book for a while (as I already have the first two), but I've never had the money to buy it until just recently, so yay and stuff. -TNTOS-
A few days ago I finished editing The Ghost King's Tragedy. I'm confident that it's ready for posting; however, the release date is still August 1st. Besides, I might do some last minute editing, which is something I always do before posting a new fanfic or chapter of a fanfic. Usually it's something simple, such as word choice or arrangement, so often what you see posted on BZP looks a little different from what is writen in my Word documents. Also, I'm proud to announce that I've officially
So I just downloaded Skype recently and it works on my computer and everything, but the problem is that whenever I click the "Add contacts" button, a screen pops up that says "You don't seem to have an active internet connection. Please check your connection and try again." I've checked my connection several times already and it still says that. I even disconnected and reconnected my Internet connection and it still doesn't work. My Internet connection works just fine (otherwise how would I be
While at Wal-Mart yesterday, browsing the video games, I noticed that they had, apparently for sale, Kingdom Hearts 3D. This is interesting because KH3D is supposed to come out in America on the 31st. Yesterday was the 27th, meaning Wal-Mart was selling the game four days early. I didn't buy it, but it was interesting to see that they were selling it early. (At least, I think they were selling it. It wasn't on a shelf, but it was in the case they keep all of the video games. Bet I could have g
Looks like my ad (that's what it is, I won't lie) for my upcoming short epic, The Ghost King's Tragedy, has been approved and is on the Calender. Check out August 1st on the Calender to see it. I am most likely going to use this for future fanfics because this seems like an easy way to increase awareness of my works. -TNTOS-
I saw The Dark Knight Rises yesterday. Twice. In two different theaters. Because it's that awesome. One of the best movies ever (at least of the movies I've seen, anyway). -TNTOS-
Please stop starting stories, posting a few chapters, and then quitting and starting a brand new story that will inevitably go down the same path as your last. This is not an attack on or criticism of inexperienced writers. It's merely a gentle reminder that giving up on your current story won't make you a better writer or make you more popular. Your story isn't completely unsalvagable and you'll learn far more about your abilities as a writer if you stick with your story to the very end than
'Sup, everybody! Just wanted y'all to know that I have, as of today, entered the Library Summer Olympics. You can read my entry, Dimension Cookies, here. Yes, it is based on Dimension Hoppers and yes, I did try to write Isarot's POV similar to how he was in DiH, but whether I succeed or not depends on what y'all think. IMO I'm not too happy with it, but go and see it for yourself to come up with your own opinion. -TNTOS-
As a writer, I'm always seeking to improve. I try to make each story I write better than the last. Sometimes I get lazy, unfortunately, but overall I seek to become the best writer I possibly can, which means doing my best at every level and listening to the criticisms that readers give me. However, being a good writer also means recognizing one's limits. It means knowing what one can and cannot write at their current level and a good sense of when to try something new, something you never tho
Hey, I know I said I'd do in-depth reviews of the cartoons G. I. Joe Renegedes, Transformers Prime, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but I realized just how unrealistic a goal that was. It might be something I do later, but for now don't expect any in-depth reviews any time soon. Instead, I'll post some quick thoughts on each series. Please note that I am going to talk only about the first seasons of each series, for those are the only ones I have seen in their entirety. So here we g
I finished watching the entire series of Avatar: The Last Airbender recently. And, because Netflix has it, I decided to check out the live-action movie adaptation, called The Last Airbender. I'm now going to pretend the movie doesn't exist. -TNTOS-
I got a Kindle Touch today. I've been wanting a Kindle for a while now and this one seems pretty good. Right now it's charging (because I want to be able to take it wherever I want), but based on what I've seen of it so far, I am quite pleased. I think it's going to be fun to read books on that thing for sure. -TNTOS-
Don't expect any updates for The Legend Exploded or Reluctant Allies any time soon 'cause Microsoft Word - the program which I wrote both fics on - isn't working on my computer right now. So I can't access the story documents where the new chapters are. No idea what the problem is, but just don't expect to see any new stories from me for a while. Hopefully we can figure out the reason it's messing up, but for now, no writing for me . -TNTOS- Edit: Never mind. It's working now. Just posted
As I am almost finished writing the third draft of The Ghost King's Tragedy (a short epic), I've decided to share some tidbits with you guys about what to expect in it: -World's End (from Dimension Hoppers) will be the main setting; however, it is not the World's End from the Ehlekverse seen in DiH but the one in the Shikaverse (AKA the main universe of all of my fanfics) -The main characters are Toa Akuna, Toa Oggakia, Toa Kiriah, and Toa Ahova, all of whom have starred in at least one epic
Hey, guys. If you were browsing the Short Stories forum for a story to read, which title would stand out to you more? Twisted Monstrosity or A Nightmare? Which one sounds interesting enough to make you click and read the story? Both are possible titles for GC#11. I'm having a hard time choosing between the two, so I'm putting them up here to see what y'all think. -TNTOS-
So yesterday I watched an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the first episode of the series that I have ever actually watched. It was the newest episode (I think), Episode 18, where Pinkie Pie tries to befriend Cranky Doodle Donkey. To be honest, I really wasn't expecting much. I have never been interested in "girly" cartoons and, despite all of the praise the series has, I thought it'd just be another show whose fanbase produces more material than the actual company does. Whic
As of tonight I have finished editing BIONICLE: The Legend Exploded, the sequel to my comedy from last year, BIONICLE: The Legend Reloaded, which was a TLR parody. It was epic, to say the least. It is 19 chapters long - way shorter than TLReloaded's 34, but this is because I was not aiming for a specific word count, whereas I wrote TLReloaded during NaNoWriMo, which is why it was as long as it was. Rest assured, though, that TLE is going to be just as epic as TLReloaded, if not a little bit mo
