Yammering, Part 182,427
Another freaking (short) chapter of "Broken Soldier" is done. Just watch, it'll slow down once the story gets going.
Been pondering using and upgrading my Writing.com account again. Part of me hates paying to put writing somewhere, but it did get me a lot more exposure "way back when". I'm... not entirely what the point of that is now, though. *snort* It's not that I'm not open to improving myself, I'm just... not a critique kind of person, giving or receiving. I'm sure it drives readers nuts, but please feel free to read someone else's work rather than trying to get mine to fit into someone else's preconceived notion of acceptable story-telling. I know the story I'm telling and the voice it's told in, maybe? Mmm, pretentious. A lot more options would open to me on the site for just $20 for a whole year, though... hm. *and ponders some more*
CARPET IS FINALLY SCHEDULED TO BE INSTALLED THIS COMING SATURDAY. And then I work like a bitch (appropriate) to get shit cleaned and aired out so I can move in. The toys, they need their shelves. My Transformers are in boxes. They need to be free.
Which leads me into how I was introduced to Alter's Kusanagi Motoko figure. I hate you so much, Jez. You and your "Can you imagine if {insert awesome character here} were a Play Arts Kai?" The answer is yes. The answer is always yes.
Since I feel tired for absolutely no reason, here are some winning things that came from my fingers today:
"The thing about being passive-aggressive is, I'd have to be passive in my aggressiveness. Therein lies the problem with your argument."
"Ozzy and Randy Rhoads, man. THEY WERE SO DEMONICALLY POWERFUL THAT GOD HAD TO TAKE ACTION." (That got a laugh, at least.)

Insightful critique is always good. But good authors reach the point where their improvement can no longer be driven from without, by such things as critiques.
