Audience

I get the strangest search words or phrases listed under my stats for my blogs. My favourites include "Gary Lutz" (who I think I mentioned ONCE on a list in a random post...forgot who he was and had to google him again), "the majority of religions", "??? 4?" and "big tits". I'm not sure where the "big tits" comes in, because I have never (aside from now) talked about tits of any sort, big or small. I also wonder why someone would click on this site if they were looking for "big tits". I mean maybe it's some acne-ridden teenager who lives under a rock either searching it for giggles or for...other reasons, but really, "Where Mighty Rivers Run" and "Critical Drivel Theory" don't really indicate that there would be "big tits" on these pages. I don't even use "big tits" in my tag lines. I've no doubt used "big" before, but "tits"?

Of course I'm just asking for more people to click on this thinking they'll see "big tits". They'll see the WORDS "big tits" tons of times now, but that's certainly not what they were expecting.

And I'm (not) sorry, but you will never see any of that on either one of these sites. I'm REALLY not that type of girl. Would kind of undermine everything I've worked for in the past few years, and would GUARANTEE to undermine me for the rest of my life. Honestly...what people post on the internet about themselves is absolutely shocking. No wonder employers look here (and yes, I am aware that future employers can look here to judge me as well...OHI FUTURE! PLEASE HIRE ME, I'M PROBABLY UNEMPLOYED AND VERY HUNGRY). I've got to stop writing these at 2 in the morning.

Anyway, I just thought that was...odd. I am still writing. Really. I'm probably not helping my rep any by talking about "big tits", but it's not like I had a rep to begin with. If, one day, I do have one, you can all search this and giggle at my stupidity and randomness and I will not think any worse of you for it. You have my permission.

I've been experimenting with a new idea, and I'm liking the outcome. It's a lot more violent and descriptive than I'm used to writing, which can be considered an improvement in my writing. WMRR has it's violent parts, but I'm going with a "no holds barred" attitude in this case. Might not go anywhere, but it's good to try new styles, forms and ideas.

WMRR has ground to a halt again. I have a ton of essays and a short story due in the next four weeks, and I need to focus a lot on that. The rough draft of my essay was reviewed this week. I need to be more original and organized (imagine that). It's tough getting your work torn to shreds. I'm getting better at it, especially when I KNOW I've put effort and thought into something (because the critiques aren't that harsh). One of the hard lessons to learn as an aspiring writer. People aren't going to like your work sometimes, and they will be brutal with their words. The moral of the story is just to suck it up, have a drink with a couple friends and move on.

In the meantime...current projects:
-Bulletstorm soundtrack continuous mix
-Research for essays
-Writing of essays
-Dungeon Keeper Episode 14
-Finish Dan's Interlude
-Finish Chapter 10
-Start Chapter 11, 12

I think those are the right chapters...I can't remember so late at night. Or early in the morning. You decide.

And no, I'm not tagging this post with "big tits".

Critiquing

I have added a new section to the EGAWT involving critiquing. I'm not sure how good it is because the people I sent it to didn't give me any feedback. At all. So meh. I plan to go through the entire guide some day and make sure it doesn't sound horrible. At any rate...

Critiquing

Still waiting on someone to send me the poetry section. I doubt that will ever happen. Also still waiting for feedback concerning two short stories. I doubt that will ever happen either. At least I got them critiqued in class, which is the most useful feedback I could ever ask for. I strive, as an aspiring editor, to always give my 100% when editing and critiquing writing.

I extend the offer I made on my site (that no one visits but whatever) to anyone who reads this. I will edit and critique anyone who asks it of me. Depending on the length depends on how fast I can get it back to you. I will give a thorough read, with edits, comments and suggestions. The only pieces I refuse to take are unedited ones. If I catch more than a couple typos on one page (even then) I will stop editing then and there and make you read it over and send me a new copy before I touch it again, I can't be bothered to edit stupid little details when an author's read will accomplish the same.

That aside...WINTER BREAK YEAH. Still not any less stressful with all the stuff I need to get done, but I'm done school. And that is good. I will hopefully get tons of reading and writing done. I need to record the next few levels of Dungeon Keeper and post them on YouTube. I have also been assigned "What the Crow Said" by Robert Kroetsch...but I have yet to find it in any local bookstore. I will probably need to get it through the mail.

AS for WMRR...it has been on hold since I last wrote in...Novemberish? I have so many ideas for the next few parts, but I haven't been able to justify sitting and writing for a few hours when I needed to study and write papers....and yet I found time to play Fire Emblem, Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty...

Nevertheless, I will make efforts to get even the BARE MINIMUM out on paper. This book should have been done in six months. It's taken me nearly six years. Maybe six years. I don't know anymore.
