Online RPG’s

Well it was bound to happen sometime.

I got myself addicted to an online RPG and have been spending almost all time there ‘grinding up the toon’

I would like to say in my own defense, if you could call it that, I did not end up playing a mainstream game, with lots a really great graphics, you see, my system can’t handle that, nor did I end up playing some message board make believe game.

No, see I am playing a text based MUD online. Which I at this time I can’t tell if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Anyway.

I have discovered a few things, and that there is no one that plays an online game that is not a raging nerd or some sort.

From people that feel a need to be all “I am a full role player” to people that memorize stats like they mean something, to just the simple run on the mill power players.

At the end of the day, there are countless nerds that play these games and none of them seem to agree at what makes a nerd, beyond “Not themselves”

If you have an issue with one thing and they don’t, then you’re the nerd and they are not.

but there are a few brave nerds that know they are nerds, they accept they are nerds and are better people for it.

Know thyself (Plato)

To thine own self be true (Shakespeare)

So the next time you hear someone call you a nerd, or making a fun of you, remember they are just as spazzy a nerd as you, about something different, and unlike you, they are delusional that they are not nerds.

be brave! be Tenacious! be proud of what you are!

Nerd Fearlessly!

What is Love.

Love is like a Fire. Where a House  is naught but four walls and a roof a Home is in the Hearth, the Mantle and Fireplace.

A Domain of Warmth.

A fire takes but a spark to start. The clicking of two bits of metal or stone, and poof! you have a flame.

At first it explodes, like a match, searing hot and passionate it burns vigorously!  Then it slows down once it catches on. Slowly it begins to spread and starts to share it’s warmth and heat with the area around it, until at long last, you are left not with licking flames dancing and tantalizing but with amber’s and coal, which we all know is the only part of a fire you can cook on.

Like life and Love, when you meet, there has to be that Spark, something clicked like two stones striking to ignite the flames.

Then you burn for each other, love as you might call it, lust, passion, or just giddy happiness of being together. What ever it will be, it is, and it consumes, and if allowed it will burn the hardest logs.

Then the years pass on, there are licks and flickers of passion with moments of remembering the first flame but this can only be because of the constant even heat that is thrown off, that compassion, respect and care for each other grows.

Until finally you are left with deep low burning amber’s warm, comforting, enduring and filling, that truly heat the hearth of the home for times to come.

Look at love how you want, be thankful when you find it no matter what the forum, and cherish it for the gift that it is.

Burn Fearlessly!

Some Critics…

Can make their point Perfectly…

While others can be rather difficult to figure out.

And some days I can fully relate.

and this was just too funny to pass up.

Laugh Fearlessly!

Vampires!

It seems they are the big thing these days… vampires here, there, and everywhere.

Ok She is not a Vampire, But she is Hot! and this Image is kinda Vampy

What is worse is that writers are being mocked for using them so they feel forced to try and find ‘another way’ to have a vampire without having a “Vampire“

Well, far be it from to listen to prattling of annoying voices, if I wanted to listen to voices I’d take drugs.

So with that said, focus on writing a solid story not pleasing the masses.

Vamp Fearlessly!

Check out Babeunion Forums for more adult and nude images of Jenni Gregg as well as many other lovely female models. Babeunion Forums is an Adult site Enter at your own risk.

You Suck!

That is, if you are Lucky, You suck.

Everyone from Stephen King to J K Rowling, from Ann Rice to Stephenie Meyer, it seems they all have someone that says “They Suck”

Entire groups say these people suck and suck hard.

So with that in mind, I sincerely hope that one day, you (and I) can Suck just like them.

So here is to our future Suckage!

Suck Fearlessly

Just…

…Following my own advice and trying to think of what to write, what to create and where to go from here with my life.

I started this blog to break my writers block and figured other writers could use a cheering section while I was struggling.

You can do it!

Write Fearlessly

We all deal with this. We all suffer from this condition of what do with sex in our stories.

Sex in stories seems to be an aspect of life as a writer, because it is an aspect of life as a whole.

How we deal with it however, is a whole other thing, do we give a blow by blow of every dirty little thing they do or do we try to obscure what is going on with symbolic words?

Well I suppose if we do the former we are writing erotic stories and then the answer is quite simple what we are going to about that sex scene, add it in, perhaps expound on it, drop some good explicit adverbs and adjectives, maybe devote a chapter to the after glow and a solid two paragraphs to the foreplay.

After all, if people are offended by a good no holds barred sex scene, perhaps they should not read erotic fiction then, and go back to the Disney Books where they belong.

What about if we want to obscure the situation?

Well more often then not we face the risk of Purple Prose getting in the way or even winning a wonderful Bulwer-Lytton award or maybe you might win a “bad sex scene” award. So what!

Lets me honest here, there are many symbolic things that relate to the sexual regions and we as people have a very open mind when it comes to these things, I mean even something as simple as “and then they had sex” gets all the point we need across to us. We are geared in that direction, See?

We slammed, banging, boffing, doing the hunka-chunka, riding, horizontal mobo, boinking, porking, Bump&Grind, blah, blah, blah, and a whole list of other terms and phrases can be found to mean having sex. Here is a site that just made me Laugh. The Euphemism Generator. and if that was not enough, enjoy the Slang Dictionary.

So fear not, our minds are very easy to get the idea of sex across to us, don’t fret too much with that. Just get the idea out there, set the situation and if need be, fade to black is always a good way to leave the situation.

Remember, when you write these scenes, at your very worst you can get an award for it, at the best you get a happy (even slightly aroused) reader for it

Just keep in mind that how you write your scene is dependent on the genre you are writing.

Which is part of the art of being a writer, always!

Don’t let anyone intimidate you. Write what you imagine, don’t force it on someone else’s say so. Write what you feel would convey the best scene. After all, who is writing this story?

Imply Fearlessly!

New Stuff!

Well I was messing around with the site again, as you can see, I changed the banner, added in some stuff to the side bar, like a random Thought image, which is a wonderful pooch named Mick.

In case you are wondering why I am using dogs and dog toys as my Icons, it is a bit more then the idea that Dogs eat your homework, so please read Looking for Fearlessly. I’ll get around to making that a main page soon enough, just need to fix it to make it it’s own page. But for now, I hope that explains the dogs.

like random thoughts and what have you, and while I was looking around I noticed that Eric from Aspiring Something had a simply brilliant idea.

He says he is using the idea of a “word of the day” it to give himself motivation to write as well as expand his vocabulary, nothing like getting two things for one effort right? His idea is that each day he will try to write something using the word of the day from Merriam-Webster’s “word of the day” listing!

Oh BOY! a Prompt! Word! Something! WHEEE!

The above happy spaz is Inara, just thought you all might want to know.

Since I thought that was such a grand Idea I have added a RSS feed to the side bar showing the word of the day (hope I did that right) so that anyone who wants, can check out the current word of the day, and perhaps write something about it or with it.

Today’s word is “Cyber Punk” which to me a writer means Gumshoe Film Noir writing in a gritty future setting with implants and cybernetic upgrades, where the Hero’s are as dark and deadly as the villains.

If you are looking for more of a prompt then a single word, check out this site: Creative Writing Prompts. They have over 300 quick prompts for you to work with.

Write Fearlessly!

Looking for Fearlessly.

Few things in this world encompass every trait of human greatness as Dogs do,  Hence my Avatar being a dog toy, the Cuz. Good Cuz/Bad Cuz.

Now I was tempted to go with Comedy and Tragedy, for my site, but as much as I enjoy the duality of that Image, that was not exactly what I was looking for.

In fact I think Dogs are what humans strive to be like. That shamelessness in their love, loyalty and acceptance of us is bar none unattainable anywhere else, save thorough them.

So while I am looking for some new banner images I wanted to focus on a Dog that was the Apex of loyalty, strength, nobility, courage, intelligence, and diversity.

And of the superdogs in this world, the ones that held the highest positions on the top rung of greatness was bully breed, most notably The Infamous Pit Bull, or at last many of the dogs mistakenly called Pit Bulls.

So I looked a lot deeper and I was struck wondering how a dog with such a bad rap, had done so much.

Holding records in every type of dog competition, and not just placing, but being one of the top contenders across the board. No other breed even comes close to this guy.

So I looked a bit more. Everything from Stg Stubby the War Hero, being the most decorated military dog ever, chew on that all you Sheppard, maybe it is time to go back to being herding dogs again if this is what the bully breeds can do.

So what else could this dog do, and I found something, Bandog Dread, one of the dogs we like to lump in with pit bulls, carries the most titles of any dog, ever, to date.

Ouch. That had to hurt everyone’s ego when they talk about how great their dog is.

And then you compare your dog to this Apex of what if Canine Greatness, strength, agility, loyalty, obedience.

When we look at who were the amazing dogs of our time and our history, we see only a long line of these dogs.

So how is it that these “Evil Vicious Monsters” carry titles, awards and suture enough alone to make every other breed little more the an superficial passing fancy to what is their accomplishment?

I would wager for the same reason why when I go to forums and see writers bickering about how Rowling’s work sucks, and how Tolken had no clue what he was doing, how Salvatore could not write his way out of a paper bag.

Greatness invites criticism.

If most people who plan to be writers fail, disappear, fall to the way side and just give up. if they end up drunk, drugged out, and committing crimes, the world would look past them and forget them. They were nothing great to start with, so when they fall, no one cares.

But if Rowling was caught on Drug charges the world would Gasp!

They would all shake their finger and make commentary about how horrible she must be. But only because they know of her, she is famous, great, a living legend. Hate her or love her, you still know her.

Which might explain why no one seems to care that the Laborer Retriever has bitten more people then “Pit Bulls”.

Kind of scary how pointless that makes a lab attack, huh?

Well , really it is kind of sad how pointless that makes a Lab, or even a Sheppard in general.

It’s like “Meh they killed your child, what did you expect, it’s a German Sheppard”.

I can only image going to the Hospital and having a gash in my leg, and the doctors looking at the wound and I tell them a Lab bit me an they make a comment like it is nothing important, they will stitch me up and send me on my way.

It was THAT expected huh?

Is that like hitting my thumb with a hammer common, Huh?

How pathetic is this loyalty and obedience and servitude of this dog that you let play with your children if they can rip someone apart and it does not even make the news?

So next time you want to brag about how great your favorite dog breed is, Meh, Ponder this, your Dog Breed is not even special enough to make the new if it bites someone.

That is how pathetic, overlooked, and low our expectations of your favorite bestest dog in the world is. It kills someone and we are like “It’s a Lab, what did you expect, the loyalty of a Pit Bull? Now if a Pit Bull bit someone, now that is so special it is worth putting in the news”

Apparently this Dog has become so legendary, so admired, so ingrained in our lives, from Buster Brown Shoes, to the Phonograph, From the Icon of America to the Guardian of our Civil War Solders.

This dog is so special, that if it does bite someone it is a big deal.

It is such a special event, It is so rare, so unique, that among the over five million of them that live in America, if one of them just, well, acts like a Lab, or a Sheppard, or any other dog of it’s size, the human world has a hemorrhage and can’t handle it.

Which is why I am choosing any of the several breeds that get mislabeled “Pit Bull” as my Icon. If I am going to take a Dog as my Icon, I want a dog that is special enough that if it rips me open, they will at least make the news.

They are literally the Best of the Canine world and thus they receive the Worst reputation.

Also like good and creative individuals and works of art that have been made, most people have no clue about them and yet are always ready to prove their ignorance about them in a heart beat. And we all know that there are just too many people in this world that have nothing good to say.

Just Sounds like all those people that are too quick to talk about writing and criticize the famous writers as failures.

Yes they are such failures I bought their book, I read their book, and guess what! I enjoyed their book.

If that is Failing, if that is Poor Writing! Then I don’t want to succeed, and teach me how to write just that poorly! I thought it was great!

We all know those critics really should be shutting up, we know we need to do more then ignore them, we need to shout them down and kick them to the curb. We don’t need them, we don’t want them, and they don’t do us any good! And we Know it!

It is time we start to stand up to the scum that seek nothing but to cast chains upon us, bind us down and destroy our freedom of creativity by trying to twist our minds and take away our rights and our freedoms to live and love as we please! Creativity can not grow in a stagnant oppressive environment.

From Pit Bulls to Pens: Ignorance will always breed Idiots.

How is that for Irony. Remember, what I tell you about writing, applies to any art. Creativity, Courage, and Perseverance are universal in all mediums.

So look upon this Dog, Learn to love the Pit Bull, then become like them. Embrace their Tenacious Courage, Fearless Love, and Endless Loyalty.

I know it is strange to ask a Dog to be role model, but any dog that is so famous it can make the news by just being a dog, is a dog worthily to look up to, because if we can admire people who are so famous that they make the news simply because we discover they are human, we can do so for a Dog.

So if you have pictures of a Bully Breed, in a way I can use for my Theme, of “Good and Evil” think Longcat vs Tacgnol. I welcome them.

Here is a basic Idea of what I am trying for.

Banner Idea.

I’ll give credit to you and your dog in my side bar, as well as link to your site if you have one.

Thank you.

Become Fearlessly

Thrill Me

Have you ever had to deal with people that just won’t shut up about how great they are?

Well let me share something with you as you go about being on the net and posting on forums and all the other things we plan to do to promote our work and ourselves.

Don’t brag. Trust me, no matter what you might be led to think, it does not work.

It does not make people suddenly think you are right, it does not prove your point, and it sure as all blazes does not make anyone feel humbled by your presence.

lets lay this out.

John Yamrus is a poet I personally admire.

But it is not the fact that John has published 27 books that makes me admire him. It is not his education, or his money that make me say “Wow, he’s good”

It is his Poems.

I read them, and then I said “he’s good“

He did not blow his horn going “Look at me I am so great” or saying things like “You must listen to me because I am so great”

He said something better then that.

he said “here, read my poem, what do you think?“

Wow. That is what I thought.

And that is Greatness, letting your work speak for you.

So the next time you decide to surf the web and are thinking of ways to inflate your own ego, let me give you some don’ts.

Don’t brag about how much money you make: Because unless you are willing to share, I don’t care.

Don’t brag about the books you wrote: If I have heard of you, I would tell YOU, come to think of it, I would come to you and give you my admiration, you don’t need to brag to get it.

Don’t Brag about your education: Because if I disagree with you, telling me you have a PhD in basket weaving will not make think you are right.

Wanna Dazzle me?

Let me see what you have. Show me the words and the Wisdom.

leave the ego at the door and step in. Lets talk, lets swap stories, and lets learn about being people as opposed to numbers.

Lets make a better world, one word at a time.

Write Humbly.
