Yeah, I'm finally coming out of the dark recesses I've kept myself buried in for so long and actually beginning to reveal some of my inner workings. Don't expect a floodgate of things to come pouring out though, I have to take it in little steps. I am a dragon not accustomend to being in the light of day, so it scares me a little.
All right now, I'm back in busniness with the RP. I had a short dialogue with the collaborator of the role play, and he's got an idea on how to get out of the mess he created. I don't know what he has planned, but I'm sure it'll be good, he's very creative. It's not like he could make it any worse.
The roofers that I briefly mentioned doing work on the front porch are doing all right. I didn't know they did porch decking too (it really needed it, the floor was as bad as the ceiling and roof). And I'm told they know about the spot thy missed on the house roof, but they can't get to it till they get the porch done (they need the porch roof as a platform to get to the roof higher than three stories up). At least it's not supposed to rain that I'm aware of.

I used to be a master of silly faces, so you don't want to get me started on that with sticking out your tongue there.
Yeah, I had to tweak the backdrop a little, the old one was causing some readability issues.
I haven't decided that yet. If I do upload it, it'll probably be to my Photobucket album and not on site here.
The Role Play is on a message board, I don't do the board game RPGs or LARP stuff (my family thinks I'm weird enough as it is, I don't need to reinforce that). Oh, I've got some ideas to finish it off, but I have to wait till my collaborator makes his post.
I've kept it quiet for too long as it is, so I want to share some stuff about it. Think of it as a sort of test the waters thing to gauge reactions to some core elements of the project.
All you can do is try, and hope it works.
I'll try making another one in a few weeks. After the Holiday stress is over so I can concentrate on doing it werll, and maybe get some origami paper to work with too.
I write anything like I talk, so it's no surprise my posts read like conversations.
Actually, a couple of the staff members here on My O handle comments this way. After I got really lost and couldn't keep track of the comments I'd answered (and because the PM system was down at the time I believe) I tried this format, and it worked for me.

First off, welcome to my little corner of the MyO world, I don't believe we've interacted before. You'll find I'm a little bit rough at first, but, as some of my regular visitors will point out, a big softy dragon at heart.
BINGO! That's the statue that the movie production paid for (I think) as a gift to Point Pleasant for them not filming there. The movie The Mothman Prophecies was terrible. Of course, I say that having read John's Keel's book of the same name which inspired the movie in the first place. The statue is in the heart of the town, and quite a thing to behold in person, especially at night.
As for being busy, a lot of smoke an mirrors hide very simple things, don't they? I do so love being cryptic at times.

You have a good one too.

I can't really find my inner funny right now, I have too many burdens on my shoulders, and they aren't getting lighter on their own. As for deluding myself, I don't. While I do entertain the notion it would be wonderful to make it big with a creation of mine, I realize that, more likely than not, it won't happen.
I never destroy an unfinished project. Sometimes I do go back and pick away at something long abandoned, just for myself.
Now I'm confused, because I'm not sure what you mean by working.

My creative work never brings me to tears that way. If it did, I'd have to give it up completely. In my case, I'm so stubborn, and I want everything to be perfect, when I can't get things to come out like I want, well, I get very frustrated with myself. As I mentioned to Yensid, I never destroy anything, I do pick up abandonded projects and work with them once in a while.
Yes, I do have an offline writing project, I started on April 13, 2006, after I exhausted my last option regarding the state Job Service. I haven't really gone into detail about it yet, I didn't want to jinx the project before it went anywhere, so I haven't said to much about it. Since I did promise details I have a few at the bottom of the post here to start things off. Thank you for the kind words about my writing, I appreciate them far more than I can say. You are yourself an eloquent and creative writer. Basically, I write like I talk *Holds for horror movie shriek*, that's just how I am.
I did write up a few lessons on message board role playing, follow the link to read those. I still have a couple lessons yet to go, so that information isn't really complete yet. I don't know why those guys didn't want you in their little sewing circle, anyone who can write can role play if they put their minds to it. Seeing how you write, in both eloquence and style, I think you would be a natural at message board role playing. If you want to give it a try after reading that stuff, I'll link you to my friend's board (it's more active than mine) and we can put something together.

I did try to make a good one, and I'm always keeping people on their toes. Thanks.
I started back in 2003, when Tech TV added a role play board to their Anime Unleashed forum (the old links are now defunct). I don't do it as often as I used to though. Most of the time anymore I'm the one waiting for the other RPers to post in the thread, but it's a fun collaboration, like improv, only in writing.
Project Details:
I did promise a short while ago that I would begin to provide details about the mystery offline writing project I mention so cryptically here. To start off, it is a novel I'm writing, kind of a blend of Sci-Fi and Real-Fi in my own twisted way. I can't say anything about the plot points yet, the work is still in progress
I can say I have been entertaining some self-publishing options with regard to the project. Self publishing, because I don't have the energy to submit my writing to all the publishers, or deal with having to register the draft with the Writer's Guild (some publishers have this requirement), or dealing with companies that want me to put out money up front to publish it (called vanity publishing). If it sells enough in a POD (Publishing On Demand) environment (and you can bet I'll plug the daylights out of it), I'll entertain more traditional publishing means to get it out further and reach a broader audience. I'll use the self publishing to test the waters and see how it's received, but that's a long way off yet.
How about a quick jump jump back up to were you were reading?
