    I seem to have developed an entire mythos behind Vicky's Diner.. I swear, it's taken off on its own..

    My writing chops are down, so.. not sure this is how it goes, but when I want to write Vicky, and Aiko, and all the gang all seem to exist in the great void inside me. Is this how it works? Your characters get in your face about how they should be written?

    Aiko is still bitching at me about a nice semi-formal dress.. geebus..

    This whole writing thing is annoying, I feel so schizo...

    Maybe it'll come out OK :blank: I think I should drop everything and focus on Vicky's Diner... i feel a demanding energy.. :blank:


    It is a rare day indeed when I don't have Sam or Reld or Angela jabbering around inside my head. Sometimes, stories write themselves by the things I ran across at work. I have a story I'm partially working on, based around some video taping of the inside of a storm water pipe.

    In my city, the city installs reinforced concrete pipe, which start as small as 18". The next standard sizes are 24", 32", 44", 50" and then 60" (there are a few 72" but those are typically under the highway). At that point, the pipe then drains into giant, reinforced concrete boxes. The parkway in front of my house has a 10' by 12' box running underneath it. And I know there are some bigger boxes under the freeway. And that knowledge, armed with the video I watched of a camera searching for cracks, created a storm-tossed scene in my brain that I had to write down. And throw poor Sam in.

    I guess I'll get used to it eventually... :blank:

    That's your Muse, shouting at you through a bullhorn ;-)... follow and see where she leads.

    She has to bash me over the head sometimes... :red: :red: :red:

    Muse or Dominatrix? or double duty? :)

    I have to pull out documents from our filing cabinet and I keep shocking myself when I touch the metal

    And I just had to reboot my iPhone. It stopped responding as I was typing this.

    Gator Lake - test render 001 - with gator.

    The gator has no name..the fairies just call him Gator, he was an escapee from TCNs Magic biology Lab, the UAT students have taken Gator Lake over and he's happier.. but he's still a gator at his core.. beware..


    Very cool render. :vampire:

    i should pickup non-perishable on the way home. 24mph wind tomorrow. lost power a few hours last sunday and it was only s'posed to be 16mph.

    i guess poptarts. cinnamon raisin bread. trail mix.

    hard to believe hurricane sandy was 2 years ago.


    changing commander kracken's name is making him unreal to me. It's like, i don't know what he would say or react anymore.

    I think I've just been convinced by my dang characters to turn Vicky's Diner into a series of illustrated novellas. :blank: :blank:

    In order to get everything that could happen into a Webcomic, I'd need to spend a HUGE amount of time rendering, and I'd need to win the Lottery and quit work to realize the project. :-S There's no way I could get half of what's zipping around in my head into 3D art, so.. it seems.. inevitable.. that this will be a "book with pretty pictures".

    I'm putting my other writing project on hold for now (the Dark New Orleans stuff) to get rolling on Vicky (she's pretty bloody impatient).

    :blank: :blank: :blank:

    Heaven help me...! :ahhh:

    theyz making a NCIS New Orleans. Scot Balula is on it.

    i haven't watched NCIS since they announced Ziva leaving. Haven't watched Bones this season.

    i wanna give Sleepy Hollow a try. Went to Sleepy Hollow a couple times, it's upstate NY. not sure if the same place with the headless horseman. Ichabod Crane was the name of the horseman?

    @Misty - Ichabod Crane wasn't the actual horseman, he meets the horseman while coming home. Not a good trip for him... :bug:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichabod_Crane

    Didn't know about the NCIS in New Orleans! My series is in an alternate universe, the heroine runs her dead husbands paranormal detective agency. Her husband died under very mysterious circumstances and his passing still haunts her...

    Weird how both my writing projects have female protagonists.. :blank:

    Good morning! Around here, we get the bit where rain makes the grass shoot up - we say "it rained green paint". :coolsmile:

    Just because Ziva left, it didn't turn bad. It's still a great show and you missed a lot! They had a two part episode that introduced Scott's character and the New Orleans office (if you want to call it that) near the end of last season of NCIS.

    Sleepy Hollow is quite the re-imagining of that story. It's outrageous, and fun, and full of twists...and even surprised me a few times, which is hard to do.

    Ah. But now you're not the administrator user anymore. That could be a problem in the future.
