Sign up for the NaNo website. … Continue reading 11 steps of Preptober

Project 365 Day 8: Heaven is Full
They say that when you die, you see a white light and go to paradise. Well, the first part was right. I followed the bridge light but instead of ending up in paradise, I ended up in Processing. Maybe I took a wrong turn at the Pearly Gates or something. Word from the front (of … Continue reading Project 365 Day 8: Heaven is Full
Project 365 Day 7: Lifesaver
"I saved your life." "You pushed me off a building!" "Saved your life didn't I?" "And broke my arm in the process!" "But you're alive..."

"I would have … Continue reading Project 365 Day 7: Lifesaver

Soul Echo: Discovery
Soul Echo is an idea that I first thought up way back in 2007 after catching an article about overpopulation in a newspaper. This was also the year that I discovered NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I used this idea for it and tried and failed epically because I tried to do it alone.
