Weirdness Magnet

Sometimes, you have to just veer off a bit and look at things differently. Sometimes, life will throw up an obstacle all by itself.

As for myself, I'm a Weirdness Magnet. It's listed as a Disadvantage in the GURPS Core Book and ever since I noticed it (back in the day), I figured that summed up a lot of my life experiences.

This morning I got up, went to the gym, as I usually do, which is extra-special fun if you're not a morning person and went to get eggs and light bulbs at the grocery store after I worked out.

While I worked out, I gave some thought to what I was gonna write about this morning. Usually, that's how I've been starting the Monday columns out, but, I get to the grocery store checkout line, a bit tired, and this old man, I mean really old man, like Methusulah or nearabouts, decides to start talking to me about politics. I told him I don't discuss Politics or Religion with strangers, but he wouldn't shut up, so when he finally kept going on and on about the unfairness of war, I told him I graduated from a Military School. He asked which one. The Citadel. He kinda shut up after that and I got my groceries.

I was going to write about the books I read, but sometimes my life is a lot stranger than fiction. Oh well, you now know that every waking moment can be inspiration, should you choose to open your eyes and look for it.

Regards,

Sean

Fusion

Things fall in place nicely from time to time. The sun is shining, my head is aching, but the words are coming, so all is good, despite what otherwise might appear to be chaos.

The pollen is what has driven my head to distraction, but my mind distracts my fingers and my head is forgotten in a strange Ouroboros kind of way.*

I'm glad we had this talk.

Later,

Sean

*That was an Eddison reference, btw.

Good Weekend and now...

Back to work. Trying to tow the line and write a gazillion pages a day. This past week has been uber-productive from a writing perspective. Contentment. What more can I say? See the dirt for details, will ya?

Later,

Sean

A Writer's Observations

As I continue to busily polish and refine RunePunk, I bob my head up to see how the pool is already getting crowded in SW. I shrug and turn my attention back to my writing. That's the main thing. When all is said and done, people will opt for quality.

After the convention this weekend, I got to talk with gamers and some comic writers and artists about the imaginative process. The cool part of the brain that kicks in that lets us think up all this really neat stuff. I must admit is was nice surfacing for air and will be meeting with some of these guys in the future for bull sessions and how many of you have an Image Comics artist living in your area that wants to learn Savage Worlds?

Regards,

Sean
