Ask me ... Anything?

Thu, 16 May 2013 08:09:37 -0400

People sure take that literally, huh? I was expecting/fearing rude or sexual questions. Instead I get the kind of Qs a 4 year old would ask. And I know it’s not just me; Gail Simone gets them, and answers them. I guess I don’t have the energy for that right now…

I never post on Tumblr, so I’m hoping my few followers can help me get this word out by reblogging…

I work for a hotel that hosts a major US con every year. I love anime and I go to cons myself, but I am going to be blunt about some of the problems we have and how we deal with them. I don’t…

I talk about cons a lot in my show I Should Be Writing, but I don’t mention stuff like this (as I figure it falls under the “Don’t be an ass” rule.) Still, good advice.

List posts are the hottest thing in blogging now. 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. 5 Things To Do To Become a Better Blogger. 17 Prime Numbers. The thing is, I hate writing list posts. I guess my mind fails to work that way. I prefer to write posts essay-style, that I suppose get TL; DR by most.

A look into the scary mind of Mur. And some confidence I found. - The Murverse Annex:

I’m going to go all stream of consciousness on you right now. Hold on tight. [Something happened, which I will explain after I discuss the emotions involved.] Huh. That happened. That’s interesting

I was confident. And then I wasn’t. And then I was.

Upon finishing a project

Fri, 03 May 2013 17:29:22 -0400

When I finish a big project, my brain decides to shut down. It’s like a body after a marathon. “Yeah, did you SEE WHAT I DID YESTERDAY? Now leave me the fuck alone for a week.”

However, I had to let a lot of things slide when I took April off to finish Ghost Train to New Orleans. Podcasting. Preliminary Torment work. Marketing for Shambling Guide to NYC. So I have to jump right into those responsibilities, not to mention that I have to continue writing, else I break my streak on the magic spreadsheet. (Yesterday was day 151.)

But the brain. It just wants to rest.
