the serious talk has won over as it always does.

Methinks you spoke too soon.

Serious talk gets boring.

On an ironic note, are you getting L4D2 when it is released Grefter?

Sure, if by "you" you meant "Snow", and by "Motel on Fourth" you mean "Niu records it with a digital camcorder".

I like knowing that I brought this upon yourself. I doubt Niu would record anything involving people that aren't underaged anime boys, though.

... misdirection again. Well played, toro.

Snow: It'd be his commentary over the video, though!

I'm vaguely disturbed at how well you react to being called a shota.

My apartment complex seriously needs to turn on the god damn heat. It's like god damn 40 degrees outside. Makes it annoying to try waking up in the morning when you can't find a good reason to get out of the warmth of the bed.

Paper draft due tomorrow. I'll write it now before I got to work. 5-6 pages, mm? I hate paper drafts that are necessary for a class and I'm not seeking further education on the graduate level as I feel like they purposely and solely use it as a way to "make you do something." Granted they'll edit it and shit but my draft can be edited by the editing factions of the library and writing aids available all around campus.

Boring, boring, boring, BORING.

Work is boring. I'm bored. But I can't read my books, and I can't study my Japanese. So I'm trolling the internets and plotting my NaNo novel and lamenting that I'm not even going to apply for JET this year and may never actually go anywhere or do anything ever again*.

*I may be whin(g)ing in a highly dramatic fashion because I'm bored.

superaielman · « **Reply #2835 on:** October 28, 2009, 07:52:24 PM »

Do something useful and play Spades/hearts with me then.

Lady Door · « **Reply #2836 on:** October 28, 2009, 08:29:59 PM »

Eh! I would, but:

1) I think they're catching on to me, since it seems EVERY SINGLE TIME one of my managers walks into my office, I'm on a forum, Facebook/Bejeweled or some news site.
2) Hearts/Spades is lame when I can be playing Bejeweled.

Also, I get to leave for lunch in ~30 minutes. When I get back from lunch, I have about 1.5-2 hours of work left. Hooray for getting to work insanely early and then taking a late lunch. The rest of my day is a cake walk.

(Have moved on to NaNoWriMo plotting/planning. Fun times.)

I have it preordered on Steam Super. I might not really play it since there is like Dragon Age to be playing so I might not even be contactable to play for a while and Borderlands is probably going to be taking up our co-op multiplayer shooting needs.

I've read about the NaNoWriMo process and, while it's an interesting enough idea, its very core is so anathema to my own writing methodology that I can't help but wince whenever I see it mentioned. Hope it's worth the brain race at least (I'm assuming you've gone that once or twice).

Grefter · « **Reply #2839 on:** October 28, 2009, 09:26:42 PM »

It is a good motivating tool to just get out there and do it. It isn't an event to make quality books. It is an event to even get people writing more than anything else. Once you have done NaNoWriMo whatever other piece of vanity publishing you want to do seems like a much smaller effort.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2840 on:** October 28, 2009, 09:41:11 PM »

Yeah, it's why I don't debase it as an idea. It's good to wring productivity, and often that's what you need to get started or to get out of a slump - and it can very well be -how you do things properly-, because writing methodology is one of the most whimsical things ever. It's just one way to do things that I can never apply, because it entirely freezes me.

Lady Door · « **Reply #2841 on:** October 28, 2009, 10:19:36 PM »

Except for the part where I like punctuation and usually show some threads of coherence, I could be the reincarnation of William Faulkner's writing spirit. Or maybe James Augustine Aloysius Joyce. With a name like that, is it any wonder he wrote the way he did?

... that's all simply to say that my writing process it already ridiculously chaotic, so NaNoWriMo is like throwing that chaos into a blender with a few pages of Jordan-worthy rambling and wandering in a vain attempt to pull out something readable.

Despite "participating" for the last, oh, 8 years, I've never finished. I blame school. Now I can blame Japanese, the dog, my job, Andrew, Oakland massacres, the Big One and any other number of Adult-Level Distractions! <_<

I'm actually planning to force myself out regularly to write-in with other Wrimos this time. Maybe that sort of accountability will make the necessary difference. Besides, I now live like 5 blocks away from the Office of Letters and Light. There's got to be something in that.

So office computer set up! This screen is badass.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2843 on:** October 28, 2009, 10:33:17 PM »

Heh. I always found writing to be a very detailed process myself, although I have a stage of chaos. At the point where the ideas are unorganized, but fresh, I toss them in and try to weave them together as well as a jumbled mess of stream-of-consciousness allows for. -After- that is over, I begin the actual process, where I look what I've done and restring it all - add words, remove, swap punctuation, flow. 80% of my writing in prose is editing, which is funny, because I do the exact opposite in academic writing.

EDIT:

Grefter · « **Reply #2844 on:** October 28, 2009, 10:37:45 PM »

I am similar (not that I do you know actual writing outside fo ROMG BONUS MATCHES or ranting), the frantic patchwork of idea is the fun part and then I have to slot it all together with editing and that is just boring and takes forever for me to be happy with it (which is why I don't do it anymore really). Academic work I self edit as I go along and need it all to make a logical flow and sense. By the end I never really edit it again (which effects my marks, but it is about as good as I can do anyway at that point, I suck at editing).

That's pretty much me too, yep. Especially the academic writing part. Funny that I like/get paid to edit other people's writing from time to time.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2846 on:** October 28, 2009, 10:51:43 PM »

I personally like the editing process in writing, because it makes me actually think about the process conveyed, the imagery and the stylistics, and how those things string themselves together. However, it -is- exhausting, and I also admit that, if I stop to re-read something I wrote, I will almost obsessively rewrite it and remake it if I give it more than a second's thought. Hell, I do this with this goddamn forum's posts.
