Wintertime Blues

Sorry for the lack of posts in the last month or so, I’ve been depressed. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who knows me, as I tend to feel this way during the winter months (and sometimes NOT during the winter months). More than likely non-diagnosed SADs, but I’ve come to terms with it over the years. These terrible irrational feelings were probably worst than they usual are due to good old family bullshit. I’m slowly coming out of my funk, and while still not 100%, I’m ready to start writing regularly again.

Sometime this week, I’m going to write about what I want to do this year, my goals, resolutions, and what not. Otherwise, until then I’ll just be writing to get back in the habit.

That’s all I’ve to say right now, I’m going to go play through the “Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning” demo again, just to relax.

Good night, be back tomorrow.

Oops.

So I completely forgot to post anything yesterday. I got home from work after 9pm, and I actually thought I’d posted something already. Remember that lengthy post from Sunday? I had thought I posted it yesterday. Oops.

I had a busy day of doing nothing, yet again. Still haven’t gotten around to giving my house a good cleaning, but I did get around to getting my dog washed. He’s now nice and clean. He’s much happier for it too.

I almost forgot to post something again tonight. Sorry. More tomorrow.

Life of Randy: Now With More Failure

I’m currently very far behind on my attempt for this years NaNoWriMo. Initially, I set out to just wing it, sit down day one and start, see where the story would bring me. Unfortunately, this plan was the absolute worst thing I could do. By going into this in such a way, my story refuses to come together beyond an initial premise:

A Man wakes up and sets out to destroy the world.

This premise coupled with one of the bleakest openings I’ve written (or read) has resulted in zero progress. The premise could result in an interesting tale if handled properly, but I don’t think I’m up to this story this time round. As it is now, I’m abandoning this story and tabling it for another day.

This does not mean I have given up on NaNoWriMo, this just means that this years attempt will not be completed before the deadline of 30 November 2011. I will going back to the drawing board, and over the next few days will be planning out another story from scratch. When Saturday afternoon/evening arrives, I plan to begin the writing process once more. For now, I will rest, and tomorrow I’ll look over some old story ideas to see if anything is promising.

This will be yet another one of my failures recently, but I’m hoping it is one that I will learn from.

Tired :(

Sorry, running late today, been on my feet all day and just got back from seeing Real Steel. Its been a while since I’ve seen a film in theatres, but this was worth it. Of course a movie with Hugh Jackman will usually be pretty good because he’s a very likable actor. This one would have been good either way. It was a fun, mindless film with lots of robot on robot boxing violence. It was Robocky (Robot + Rocky), and it very much followed that type of storyline. Good movie.

I’m tired, so off to bed.

A Slow and Unexciting Week…

So I’ve already failed in what I’ve set out to do. When I started updating regularly at the beginning of September, I wrote that I would post no later than 3:00pm. As of this writing its now 5:19pm, and I’ve yet to post anything.For this I apologise.

Moving on, I’m still unsure what I should be writing every Tuesday and Thursday, but I’m starting to get some ideas on how to proceed. As you may have noticed the majority of my posts so far have been video game related. For the time being I will be continuing along those lines.

As a means to ensure regular content, next week I will be reintroducing my Monthly Video Game Challenge to the world. Tune in next week.

Who am I kidding, nobody reads this anyways.
