okay i know i created these sites with the intention of posting creative things, but not having my own computer at home (corte plays games on the one we have and when he’s not playing something we’re watching/playing other games together usually) makes it a bit difficult to really keep things updated.
I have a camera with a bunch of pics i get up here eventually. Some of when we moved in to the apartment, some christmas decoration ones and some even older ones i took of Loki before we moved (i miss that silly kitty)
but i have some good progress in the way of creativity. for christmas i did drawings for my parents, grandparents and brother (all in pointilism) that came out pretty cool and were a hit, so once i get a little more ambitious i may make a good stack of more drawings like that and try to see if there is a market for them on Esty (my user name there is cosmicSquid as well)
But i am working on a story, and not just in my head this time! It’s from the same world as a screen play i was working on in college (actually about 100 years from the events of that screenplay to be exact) and i’m actually working the world of it into a role playing game that me and my husband are going to play.
now, i know to most people that doesn’t sound like i’m working on it, just playing. But since the whole world is my own it’s actually a really useful tool for cooperative story-writing. He’s already come up with a really cool character, so i’m going to write down all the background stuff, and what happens in the game that we play so that i can actually convert it into a novel once we’re done.
The world of it is pretty fun to write in, and can be expanded very easily. and the best part is since it’s a world that i’ve created from scratch when i want to write it i dont have to take things out for fear of copyright infringement.
so to my co-workers who have been on my case about writing, i wanted to post that there is progress and now that i’m converting it into a game too Corte isn’t going to let me forget about it either ^_^

It’s an awesome idea, that, writing a book based on a game you’re running. I don’t know that I’ve heard of it before and even the concept is awesome enough to get some interest.
Also, pictures!! 🙂

thanks ^_^ it’s a helpful way to get ideas, since instead of asking Corte to read what i’ve written and give feedback, it will be a constantly updating game. Then afterwards i’ll write it all out and convert it to a story.
and i might even get to post some pics this weekend since we’re getting Mass Effect 2 this week so it’s likley corte will want to play that on the TV for a while.
