Writing is a whole lot of doing the same sort of thing over and over and hoping for different results.  It’s a lot of starting over, trying something slightly different (or radically different).  Over and over.

Just got another rejection with more nice comments saying how the editor enjoyed the story but it wasn’t right and they hope I’ll submit something else and wished me luck placing this story somewhere else.  Which is nice to hear, and I’ll definitely submit something else to them, but man, I’d really like “we loved this story, here’s your check”.  I’ve had quite a few “nice” rejections now.  They in fact far outbalance the form letters (and my one “mean” rejection).   I know, objectively, that this is good.  My writing is improving, people like it, it’s only a matter of time, etc…  But inside, it still hurts.  What am I missing? What can I do to push past this “good but not good enough” point?  Keep writing. Try something else.  Rinse, repeat.

In other news, I accidently started another novel.  These things happen, I guess.  One minute I’m laying awake at 3am wishing this month long bout of insomnia would go the hell away and the next I’ve got a teenage girl’s voice talking to me about how she doesn’t want to join the military and quoting Sun Tzu and *bam* suddenly there’s shapeshifters and an alternate realm and all sorts of plot-filled worldbuilding goodness pouring into my head.  Next thing I know it’s two hours later and I have three strong main characters, an adversary, and a rough sketch of the world that is slowly getting populated.  Don’t have an outline yet, still working on the characters and worldbuilding, but this novel is going to be a tiny bit epic I think.  The scenes already in my head are pretty grusome and horrific, with a few that are painfully tender.  I hadn’t intended to start another novel until Jan at the earliest, and the next one was supposed to be another project (which is already outlined, damnit!), but hey, I’m hardly going to argue with the muse.

I figure once I’ve got the world set up and a decent working outline, this novel won’t take more than a couple months to write (though the start will be slow because I have to take lots of time in December to edit my other novel).  That’s the benefit of being able to churn out 3-5k words a day once I’m in a groove I guess.  Hopefully someday if (when?) I’m a working writer that ability will stand me in good stead.  For now I’ll just keep developing good habits I guess.

OH YEA!!! Go find some kool-aid because this finally worked! =D
Alright first off I FUCKING LOVE BRAWLBOX!!!! XD
It usually solves all of my texture hacking problems. So now I have my my first stage texture! YAY!!!! It is kinda hard to see the stage in game so I think I’m going to change it up a little bit. But anyway here it is!

This is the basic view except bin2jpeg fucked it up a little bit... X_X

I still think it needs a revamp...

So today, or rather, yesterday, my friends and I wandered into Crossroads Trading Company to try to rid our blues. I bought three dresses, a beautiful print knit bolero, and a bright blue peacoat. (I’m satisfactorily happier now.) On the way out, I spotted Red Marc Jacobs Wedges and a stunning pair of Gray Stella McCartney Boots. (Thank the lawd they weren’t my size, or i’d probably be out $250 by now.) But they were pretty reasonably priced at $100 (MJ) and $150 (SM). So if ever you are in the vicinity of a Crossroads, go check it out in all its glory.

Speaking of two of my favorite designers in the history of HUMANKIND, below are some of my favorite looks from their Spring 2010 runway shows. Stella McCartney’s collection was magnificent and by gods, I swear I will be there one day! Marc Jacobs’ collections (both Marc by March Jacobs and Marc Jacobs) were BOTH marvelous, although I tend to shy away from the more (dare I say it?) young-y looks of Marc by Marc Jacobs. Still beautiful to behold, however. Onward maties!

Stella McCartney;

Marc by Marc Jacobs;

Pretty much enthralled by this blouse and pair of shorts. Aren’t they just so cute?

Marc Jacobs;

Ahh, not only am I thankful for wonderful thrift stores, I’m thankful for the likes of you, Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs. (Really! Your designs make me so excited I probably would pee my pants if I saw them in person!) Your dominance in the fashion world is only evidence of your brilliant minds and ongoing greatness. I cut my Turkey in honor of you! (OK maybe not true, I don’t eat Turkey. Or meat for that matter… hm I should get that checked out. ) Have a great Thanksgiving, peoples! And don’t forget to be thankful for your bestest designers. (:

Yours truly,

Lili Darling

Die PS3 wird immer noch in hohen Stückzahlen verkauft , trotzdem ist Sony schon fleißig dabei den Nachfolger für 2012 startklar zu machen .

“Dementsprechend würde die PlayStation 4 über einen leistungsstarken IBM POWER 7 CPU verfügen. Diese neue POWER-7-Architektur sei bereits nächstes Jahr fertiggestellt, um an den Server-Markt ausgeliefert zu werden. Eine kosteneffizientere und an die Vorgaben von Sony angepasste Version dieser Architektur würde in der PlayStation 4 verbaut.”

“Mit sechs bis acht Kernen, einem Shared-L3-Cache mit 24 bis 32 MB und 200GFLOPS würde die Rechenleistung der PS4 im Vergleich zur Vorgänger-Konsole erheblich ansteigen.”

Da wird die Konkurrenz wieder mal dumm aus der Wäsche schauen und sich Sony geschlagen geben müssen .

Dobrze wiedzieć, że wikipedia przetrwa nawet 3 wojne światową xD

Zastanawiałem się nad kontynuacją stylu z poprzedniego wpisu o NEEDLESS ale doszedłem że wyglądało by to na bardzo “naciągane” i wymuszone. Btw naprawiłem w końcu linkowanie do oryginalnego rozmiaru obrazka.

Gido i Obito omawiają na początku odcinka kilka naukowych spraw po czym wracamy do sceny z poprzedniego odcinka, w której Blade poznaje Eve – i, w której (być może) zrodził się jego fetysz małych dziewczynek ale to tylko moje spekulacje . Blade staje się pierwszą znaną nam ofiarą “wymyślania własnych imion dla innych” i zostaje nazwany Ishida przez Eve. O pierwszej połowie odcinka nie w sumie zbyt dużo do pisania. Blade spotyka się z Eve (która z powodu jego zmienionych genów jest jedyną osobą na świecie mogącą wydać na świat jego potomka) i okazuje się, że już jako dziecko nie była zbyt… zbyt… “rozgarnięta”. Blade ma sporo testów co nie podoba się Eve bo nie być przez nie z nim. Gido i Obito rozmawiają o niskim poziomie “mocy” Blade’a wywołanej zapewne minimalną wymaganą ilością nasion edenu. Pewnego dnia zdenerwowana ciągłą rozłąką z Bladem, Eve puka do jego okna i zabiera go ze sobą na dach instytutu gdzie spędzają sporo czasu na bardzo przyjemnej drzemce. W tym czasie cały instytut staje na głowie by odnaleźć Blade’a (ją też), który zniknął nie pojawiając się na treningu. Dwoje zaginionych budzi się w nocy. Eve dostaje czasowy zakaz spotykania się z Bladem.

Szkoda, że nie spytał go co to jest dziewczyna

Już wtedy miała słabą pamięć do imion.. i nie tylko

Może i tłumaczenie zajmuje pół ekranu ale dzieki temu wiem o co chodzi z tą sceną ^^

Śmieciarka przywozi do instytuty niechcianego gościa (zgadliście Arclight’a), który ledwo przypomina człowieka (a w sumie to bardziej zombie) i zabija personel ośrodka. Zostaje ogłoszony alarm. Eve znika a Blade martwiąc się o nią rusza jej szukać zamiast według rozkazu stawiać czoło intruzowi. Przypadek sprawia, że Arclight znajduje Eve ale Blade odnajduje ich nim cokolwiek może się wydarzyć. Gido rozpoznaje Arclight’a, który w trakcie walki z Bladem traci rękę, która z kolei odrasta przy pomocy doppelgägera – choć czyni go to jeszcze bardziej obrzydliwym ze względu na to jak się ukształtowała. Arclight ucieka a Blade podąża za nim. Ten pierwszy wyczuwając coś dziwnego włamuje się do pewnego miejsca gdzie znajduje pewną “rzecz” (nie powiem co i jak bo byłby to gigantyczny spoiler). Blade’owi niestety nie udaje się go powstrzymać i dochodzi do wybuchu związanego ze zjawiskiem omawianym na początku odcinka. Wybuch na pierwszy rzut oka przezywają tylko Eve, Blade i Gido, których ochroniła tarcza stworzona doppelgägerem i wspólnym wysiłkiem pierwszej dwójki. Gdy Blade i Eve dochodzą do siebie okazuje się, że cierpią na amnezję. Gido widząc nadciągające oddziału wojska po dowództwem Triple Six (pewnej frakcji rządu) postanawia uciec i ukryć się z Bladem i Eve w Black Spocie. Wracamy do rzeczywistości i widzimy jak Gido sobie wszystko to przypomina mimo, że chciał o tym zapomnieć. Ostrzega on wszystkich by uciekali bo za chwile nastąpi gigantyczny wybuch. CDN.

Po raz pierwszy mogli zobaczyć prawdziwe gwiazdy

Mobbing w pracy

Arclight coś niewyraźnie dziś wyglądasz

Ktos tu ma kogoś na sumieniu...

Nie wyglada to dobrze zarówno dosłownie jak i w przenośni

Hey ho, hey ho do Black Spotu by się szło!~

So, I am driving back home today…I am so happy to be going home today. But this more less implies it’s a quick post today. Without further delay guys, here is some more Epic Passages for you all!

The Cave

A black cavern

Stone fangs just from the floor and ceiling

Like a maw of a beast

Small gleaming eyes spark in the darkness

A noise is mad when a pebble bounces

Jarred by a unwary boot

Soon things wake

And rush out

Consuming the intruder that disturbed

Silence follows

The Storm

Tall dark clouds

Scattering the last rays of light

Painting them in depictions of fire

Lighting breaks the scene

Flashing away to strike the ground

Thunder trails with a resounding crash

Wind howls in the sky

Thrashing in concert with the sky’s fire

Rain grays the land as it drenches

Falling heavily to only sit

The Lake

Empty calm

The water ripples lightly

A shape is seen a figure crouches on the shore

Hands are moved intricately

It begins to swirl

Soon white comes up

It rises above the waves

With skin gleaming in the soft light

The figure warps it in enchantments

It is then its eyes open

And a body without a heart, I’m missing every part….

This song is beyond the typical song. It is the lost love song. The heartbreak song. Any person with a soul and and heart can relate to this song. It’s simple drum track, the compassionate string section, the melancholy piano solo, the subtle recording scratching of “Heeeeeey Hey Hey Heeeeeeeeey” to the most touching of all, the beautiful voice professing the soul… “Like a Soul without a Mind, And a Body without a Heart, I’m Missing Every Part”. This is perfection in sonic form. Then comes the video. As defined and as simple as the description above, the video completes the circle. Elegance in its highest stage. Watch for yourself. Take it all in without reservation or judgment and tell me you can’t relate. Again I dare you…

Massive Attack – Unfinished Sympathy – Blue Lines (1991)

The loneliness that resides in the heart holds only a temporary space that soon gets replaced by memories and hope for the better that is deserved…

The Muppets performing Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody in glorious 1080p. I love it!

4. How to become a “Epic” ninja? – You have to be “all or the above”.

Post your “Ninja” questions for the answer.

Nah… kembali penulis menampilkan hasil temuan berupa e-pic yang sangat unik, menarik, mengagumkan, freak, absurb, but nice picture dari http://www.presidiacreative.com (tulisan disadur dari kapten agil blog).. untuk Full sizenya bisa di download disini!

menarik anak kecil di dinding!!! hati-hati lho, nti tangannya putus….

anak kecil yang murung, lagi ditemenin sohibnya…

…or fight till the night falls? I’ve lost and given up too much to let it die. To much at stake to diminish the light. Even the dark won’t stop me. I feed off of you…

All I have left is to prove myself wrong….

Growing up, my brother was an absolute fanatic of this man Wilfrido Vargas. He taught me well. From the Dominican Republic, Wilfrido brought such a passion for an art form called merengue that his following was immense. He was the premiere merenguero at one time, spawning super massive classics ( HOMBRE DIVERTIDO, BALLE DEL PERRITO, The immortal EL AFRICANO just to name a few) that still live to this day. His approach to the music made him a standout from day one. To show how in tune this man was, he at one point would include raps in his songs when the genre was just getting on its feet here in the states (EL JARDINERO). He blended styles and swagger that were unique to only him and his awesome band. The following video is an example of his illness. The band is in Barranqilla, Colombia rocking the shit out of the audience. If only I was there….

Peep the pop locking at the 3:15 mark….SUPER EPIC!!!!!!

“I am the master of my fate…I am the  captain of my soul”

Coming out December 11

Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon, and a South African accent who needs more? This is going to be epic, definitely going to wait to see it with the dad and brother.

Simply put I feel a MASTERPIECE approaching.
