Bends and Blogrolls - December 23rd, 2010
I have added in a blogroll on the blog page, which links to other blogs that may or may not be associated with writing. I am also on the eve of a vacation down to Big Bend National Park in Texas, 1400 miles south and 40-50 degrees (Fahrenheit) warmer.
And They're Off! - December 20th, 2010
I have made good on my word, and added in guides on telepathic animal companions and dialogue grammar. I've also added a section on rainforests to the Geography and Ecology Guide.
More News - December 13th, 2010
After much thought, I have decided to remove the poll as a feature on the site. They were actually quite a hassle to update (poll program very finicky), and made website work seem almost like a chore, which it shouldn't be. I have updated the article on
killing characters, adding a section on resurrection. I also have articles in the works on foreshadowing, telepathic animal companions, weapons, common grammatical errors, and dialogue grammar, and a few video game reviews as well.
Sixteen - November 8th, 2010
Today marks the sixteenth anniversary of the day I was expelled from my mother's uterus. So my birthday. Yippee. To celebrate, I have put up a new article, this one about strategies characters use in survival situations that should actually get them killed.
The Skinny - October 26th, 2010
I apologize for not updating lately. I've been caught up with school, sickness, and building my Halloween costume. I have updated the poll, and added two new articles in, one on romantic subplots, and one on creating animal species.
Chaaaaaarge! - October 7th, 2010
I have added in an article about battles, and updated the article on character description.
Updates - October 6th, 2010
I have updated the Guide to Geography and Ecology in Fantasy, and am also working on a guide to different names for the same animal (ex. cougar, catamount, puma, and mountain lion).
New Links - September 27th, 2010
The Links section sure has been neglected, eh? Well, I've added a few links to some more writing websites.
Some News - September 22nd, 2010
For the past few days, the computer that the majority of my in-progress articles has been out of commission. The computer shop guy thinks it was virus-related, but he was able to recover my data. I should get it back tomorrow. Then I will start uploading. I've got an article on horses that I am sure you will all find informative.
Can I Get a Drumroll? - September 10th, 2010
On a side note, I may start updating the poll on Sunday night instead of Monday morning. So be prepared for that. And if you have any ideas for polls, just e-mail me.
Okay Then... - September 6th, 2010
The second article had actually been up for a while (it was the one called "Science, Sense, and Fiction"), so there's that. I'm working on an article about how to make and run an online forum, which should be up sometime this week. My article reserve is tapped out. If anyone has an idea for an article they would like to see, just shoot me an e-mail.
All that aside, good luck at school this year (for those who haven't started yet). My senior year promises to be very... scientific. I'm taking online physics, online chemistry, a natural resources class in the building, and should be on track to help out the science teacher during one of his classes.
Monday Grind - August 30th, 2010
Poll. One new article. Second coming later. Ugga ugga.
New Article - August 28th, 2010
I have added an article about research. Expect two more articles on Monday.
Updates and Corrections - August 23rd, 2010
I have added in two new articles in the thoughts category, one about originality and the other about pet peeves, and fixed some errors in the article on wolves.
Also, Mockingjay comes out tomorrow. Yippee! :D
Updates - August 20th, 2010
Poll and New Article - August 16th, 2010
I have added a new article in the "Thoughts" category and updated the poll.
About Articles - August 10th, 2010
Until now, I haven't made it clear when I update articles. Although that's been fine, since most of the time it's just to fix a typo or make something clearer. But now, with the addition of quite a lot to the article on beginnings, I will start making it clear when I do.
Updates - August 9th, 2010
The poll has been changed and I have added an article on comic relief.
Back from the Apostles - August 7th, 2010
The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, located near Wisconsin in southern Lake Superior, is a very beautiful place, especially if you're paddling along at a leisurely pace in a tandem kayak with good company. Coming home to pop tarts and the promise of a pork chop dinner is also nice. I will start adding more articles and some photos from my trip as soon as possible, most likely by Monday. I do not have access to my articles at the moment.
Parting Gift - July 23rd, 2010
I will be away at camp for two weeks starting Sunday, July 25th. I will return (but may not be able to update the site) on Saturday, August 7th. I have added the next poll early, and it will run until Monday the 9th. Before I leave, I will try to add as many articles as I can. I have already added one on description and another on self-insertion. I have also added a blog.
I Wonder... - July 19th, 2010
First things first, I have added in a new poll and two new writing articles, one about reviewing and the other about killing characters. I'm thinking of starting a bit called "If Publishing Was Like Running for President". Campaigns are expensive, and a good way for a candidate to pay for it is if they appeal to corporations for donations in exchange for favors if they are elected. So what if publishing were like that?
More Articles - July 16th, 2010
I have added in two new articles, each in the Writing section. One is about character flaws and the other is about messages. In other news, cookies are tasty.
Sorry About That - July 13th, 2010
This week's poll is now up. To compensate, I have added a new list in the Humor section and a new article in the writing section.
Reviews - July 9th, 2010
I have added in a section for reviews, like I said. Next week's poll may be late.
New Stuff Added - July 5th, 2010
I have added a new poll (which I shall do every Monday, circumstances permitting) and several new articles in the writing and random sections. I also plan to add a section for reviews later in the week or month.
The Site Opens - July 2nd, 2010
