Sometimes, it’s just impossible to find a quiet place to write. In those situations, I break out the headphones and put on my “Writing Music” playlist in iTunes. As a musician-on-the-side, I find it incredibly distracting to listen to anything with lyrics, so I choose instrumental pieces for my can’t-get-quiet times. I thought perhaps I’d share the albums in my playlist so you can see where I’m drawing inspiration from as I write Antigone’s Wrath. [Read more…]
Just a quick update
Apparently I spaced and forgot to announce a fairly momentous occassion last month. I was so busy with finals for school and family stuff over the holidays that my own news just flew out the window. I SQUEE’d like crazy all over Twitter about it, but I didn’t put it HERE. You know, this being the blog for news and update stuff.
Atlanta, Corsets, Parsecs, and Stan Lee
What a weekend! I can’t believe it’s already over. It’s hard to decide where to start this post.
So, bad news first.
The Dreamer’s Thread didn’t win a Parsec Award.
No worries, though. All that saying “I’m really just ecstatic to be a Finalist” turned out to be, well, true. Not a tear was shed. Competition was tough. To be ranked among those folks was amazing for me. The ceremony was fun, also. It was great to cheer on friends as their categories were announced.
The Power of a Badge
So, in case you didn’t notice, the website now displays the shiny gold badge of the Parsec Award Finalist on the Home page.
OMG SQUEE!
Super Fun Contest Time START!
So after the last two days of awesome (Parsecs and print copies!), I figure I’ll make it a hat trick and give you a THIRD day of fantabulousness!
How’s about we play a little game? Let’s call it a contest. And while we’re at it, let’s give away an awesome prize to the winner. In fact, let’s put “awesome” in the name of the contest. What’s better than an Awesome Contest? How about a “Basket of Awesome” Contest?
Get It While It’s Hot!
You’ve waited.
You’ve asked.
You’ve tweeted, emailed, begged, pleaded, and nagged.
At last, the moment has come…
And the cries of SQUEE! shall resound through the land…
Today, the Parsec Award Finalists were announced.
I nearly shattered my windsheild with my scream when I saw TDT listed as a finalist for Best New Podcaster/Team.
I am struggling to write this right now as I have to fight every second to keep myself in my chair, rather than bouncing off the walls.
Balticon 44 – A Brief Retrospective
I may have just experienced one of the most amazing weekends of my life. It definitely goes in the top 10. More to the point, it can be summed up in a word: Balticon.
Before last year, I had no idea so much awesome existed on this planet, let alone that I’d find myself sitting on panels there and espousing various bits of knowledge (some more helpful than others). That fact alone blows my mind. Me! On a panel! And people actually showed up to listen! *faint*
Character shots – Stephen & Cyrus
I lied.
I’ve been unable to get anything done today as littlest minion has been fussy and won’t let me put him down. So what’s a girl to do with only one hand free? Create more SecondLife TDT avatars!
Character photos – Ina
I finally had to stop tweaking this one because the more work I did, the more she started looking like Aura. >_<
So here we have Ina, looking lovely in a garden at twilight. I really like the lighting work I did on this one. The purple shadows add an otherworldly dimension to it. In the first shot, I even gave her a few pixie friends to play with.
