I mentioned somewhere that I might try to focus on writing during november, but then again this does sound like a fun challenge. If only I can settle on a suitable hero.

I thought Modesty Blaise first, then figured she wears those high collared blouses anyhow, but maybe I could add Garvin. But that still feels like not enough of a difference/challenge. I used to read The Phantom too, but since he's allegedly been around for ages he probably has something victorian stashed away in his cave, too. So I'm still considering.

That makes me want to know what you're writing. Poems? Articles? Comic book? 10-volume Sci-Fi epic?

I started off liking those pics in the link but they seemed to get a bit repetitive by the time I got to Darth Vader in a frilly collar.
I'll have to have a think...

Usually nothing. I'm hoping to change that.

Back when I was roleplaying online I wrote quite a bit and it was real fun but after that I've never really got back into it. My sis gave me an online "write childrens' books" course for xmas several years back, so I'm thinking of maybe trying to get through that course. Or just write silly little stories for Aywas. They have a book submission system where users can submit their stories, but honestly I've not read many of them...

Also at some point, I'd like to be able to write down that zombie story I thought up a couple of years ago while I had insomnia issues... I tried last year though and couldn't get anywhere for stupid reasons like "What should I call the main character?"

Gotta love those procrastination excuses. The idea of writing is so much better than the horrible chore of actually doing it.
My own favourite excuse is, "if only I had the perfect app, THEN I'd start something!" I often waste lifetimes on Google Play trying out notetakers, word processors, screenplay apps and even index cards systems, but none of them just seem right for me so all of my non-ideas, that I don't even have, remain unwritten. But I've got loads of apps!

oh lol I keep thinking I'd want some better app but I'd better learn how to code first so I can make it myself. Not that I'm working on my coding skills either...

I've also got an app that teaches you how to code. And I don't use that either!

How very useful

Verkligen?

Mycket...
