I think you guys need to take your agrument to the Private Messages, because I'm feeling like using the Holler button...
Got the second section down for the OP of Character Carnival. Now I have to do the third section and revison.
Brendan is now named Arthur.
Feeling grim today, mainly due to a lack of sleep and my near-glacial pace of writing and revision. Not helped by the fact that my (admittedly awkward and silly) question in the Random Questions thread was entirely overlooked... Which shouldn't bother me, but for reasons difficult to articulate, it does. On second thought, the phrasing was too confusing anyway. I'm restating elsewhere....

I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.Have you ever had that feeling where you watch/read/play a work that heavily inspired you and realise how utterly out of your depth you are?
A few times before I found TV Tropes. Now I feel I can stand toe to toe with some of these writers in some genres.
A few years ago, I set out to write a Pokemon fanfic that tried to explain how Pokemon gijinkas would legitimately work through an entire fantasy world where they all lived. And then I kept on developing the world, introduced an eight-element magic system that powered attacks, other humanlike races, and then I realized that I basically created my own fantasy story.
So now I have to remove all the Pokemon from it. If I have time.
"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."I feel like my heart is about to explode.... gah. Havn't been on any prescription drugs in over 4 months... having to adjust. i don't feel good. i should be fine ive been on them before. they alter my brain chemistry.
as of the 2nd of Nov. has 6 weeks for a broken collar bone to heal and types 1 handed and slowlyYeah, I've had moments like that. Its probably the worst when I look at art though, because when I'm reading a good book I'm hardly taking my mind off the story. By the time I realize that the work was on a level I'm not capable of, I've been reading it for hours on end and have forgotten about my envy for hours more as I rave about it in my head. The sadness is just one sour note near the end of that.
With a picture, I'm left with two seconds of "whoa" before suddenly realizing that I'm ten years of experience off from doing anything like that myself. The Mood Whiplash makes the experience about five times worse.
Nemo enim fere saltat sobrius, nisi forte insanit Deviantart.Although, judging by what people feel overwhelmed by here, I think being awed only by Watchmen makes me a bit egotistical.
Read my stories!Ugh.
I absolutely cannot force myself to write on something I don't feel like writing (even though I just had bursts of creativity yesterday). I'm either all burnt out or just tired.
I may just continue Crack Fic until I get my juices back.
Was Jack Mackerel. | i rite gudScrew the details. I'm just going to make actual progress before I do minor edits like that.
I won't be saying that in about five minutes, though.
Warm hugs and morally questionable advice given here. Prosey BitchfestAfter my walk, I had a burst of inspiration for a children's book:
- Boy follows a golden bird into a magical world.
- Boy experiences magical world.
- Boy finds MacGuffin.
- Greedy man confronts boy. It turns out that the man followed him in.
- The MacGuffin has the power to control all the golden birds, who lay eggs that give immortality.
- Boy breaks MacGuffin.
- Greedy Man is flung into the portal, where is goes to a place far, far, away.
- The magical word starts to collaspe, because the MacGuffin broke.
- The boy and all of the golden birds escape.
What do you think?

"Immortality", and "flung". Other than that, it sounds like a straightforward and engaging plotline.
A bit of Hypocritical Humor:
"You pulled strings for Eos Whitford!"
"Eos Whitford had no personal connection to Togliari, which is why—among other reasons—she was most qualified for the mission." Rob bristles at her tone, betrayed, and Ingrid's voice softens considerably. "Be honest, Rob. Would you have kept your feelings from getting in the way?"
"YES!" he bawls.

Corrected. I keep using "flinged" again and again, because nobody tells me it's wrong, and my spellchecker is useless in that regard, as expected.
Uh... he bawls? That's a strange Said Bookism.
