Assorted Ramblings (blog)

On Shirtgate, and the response thereto.

Posted on November 21, 2014October 7, 2021 by Frog

Let me begin by stating that this is Frog writing, not Esther, and my thoughts are not necessarily our thoughts.  This one is all me, she can respond if she so chooses. The shirt thing is getting crazy.  There’s an inflationary thing the internet does, where one person has a thought that might make coherent sense, and it is…

Halfway through Nano

Posted on November 16, 2014October 7, 2021 by Frog

So, this weekend marks the midpoint of November.  It also marks the half-way point on my NaNoWriMo word count.  I’m recovering after Orycon, which set me back in my word count, but I’ve managed to make up ground this weekend. So far, I’m learning some things from the experience.  I’ll try and condense it down,…

The Best Writing Advice I Ever Received, or This Article Is Full Of It

Posted on November 11, 2014October 7, 2021 by Frog

A Response to the Criticism of Scorpion

Posted on October 29, 2014October 7, 2021 by Frog

I am a genius. When I was a child, I was called “gifted.”  My IQ was abnormally high, and I had the ability to master mathematical skills and language arts that exceeded most of my peers.  I still do.  Saying it sounds arrogant, sounds like I’m just a smug bastard, but it is simply true….

NaNo Approacheth

Posted on October 28, 2014October 7, 2021 by Frog

We’ve tended to avoid participating in NaNoWriMo. Here’s the thing; it’s a great program.  It gets words on paper, which is really what needs to happen for young writers to evolve.  It’s the sort of thing that sharpens one’s skills and progresses one towards their first published novel.  All of this is good, wonderful stuff….
