Black Waltz 0's Book Of Spells

Extremely disappointed.

I like to think that I take critisicm okay, even if it hurts a whole lot. I remember receiving a scathing crtitique way back in 2001, which basically told me my writing was shit and I should start over from scratch. Well, I raged for a bit privately and then took the advice, and from that I really did get a lot better. Because of critique I've also cut back a lot on HUEG block paragraphs and superfluos descriptions. Criticism can only make me better.

Apparently half of the internet in Australia has died for some reason. It's something to do with the phone company that has a total monopoly in this area. My network-savvy friend Paul says that it might be down for up to a WEEK (D:), so you might not see me or my husband for a while.

No internet. I'm going to go crazy without my MMO fix...

My folks want me to go see a doctor tomorrow morning but I really don't want to go. I don't feel sick or anything.

Valentine's day was cut short by a D&D friend who still thought we were playing tonight, and stayed until midnight because of the torrential downpour. Matthew went to bed soon after.

:(

Oh gods help me, I decided to stay up late so I could be around for the Mabinogi alchemist update, and therefore have a chance at breaking one of the new seal stones.

Then they delayed the update by three hours, and then another two hours. I'm so sleeepy...

I'm this close to just saying 'fuck it' and going to bed.

1) Sloth.

2) Tyrannasauraus Rex.

...Why would I wanna be a sloth when I can be a T-Rex?

There's just something sadistically amusing about placing my little MMO character into a thick cloud of deadly sulfur gas just so he can take ongoing damage and therefore rank up his healing skills. I like to picture him lingering there, his vision swimming and his slowly starving brain addled as the toxins ravage his poor body inside and out.

I feel a picture is in order for that.



I'm feeling pretty good for once, today. I should go and do something worthwhile... at least until Matthew comes home.

It's time for a whirlwind cleaning of the house. I've been putting it off for far too long, and the place is a messy mess.

Also god damn I'm hungry, but there's no food in the house and we won't have any money for another six days. Looks like we'll be living off toast and ramen for a little while... (I don't like ramen, so I'll stick with the toast.)

@_@

I need to start working on an overworld map for my novel. I keep bugging Matt to help me with it, but if the focus of a drawing doesn't have boobs on it he quickly loses interest. I even downloaded a Fantasy Cartographer tool, but the effect wasn't really what I had been hoping for. That and I have no real skill with it.

I suppose I should just try and draw the map myself. I have plenty of time at least. I could try sizing a portion of the map and sketching that, then work on distances and landmarks, topography, and then just ink it with a felt pen. That's sort of how it looks like in published fantasy novels... I think...

I would be extremely happy to have my map ultimately look like this.

But it's unlikely that will happen. Oh well.

I just put on the saddest movie I could possibly find and sobbed like a baby for two full hours.

Man I needed that.

But now... but now my head is killing me...

Okay okay...

I might not remember the storyline of WA3 that well, or this might be a terrible nonsensical idea, but...

So, like, during the Yggdrasil explosion all of the prophets except three died, right? Werner died too, but not before downloading his memories into the computer system Hyades, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

What if instead of only three of the prophet's surviving four did? What if Werner survived and was forced to become a demon, and then slowly lost his mind with the others?

And then, what would happen if his memories from Hyades still came to life as the helpful and repentant hologram that's featured in the game? It would make two Werners, one good and one bad, but still essentially Virginia's father. I wonder how that would affect Virginia's growth as a drifter?

And in the end, which one would really be her true father?

Has this been done before? I'm not quite sure.
