Now that the second iteration of Blizzard’s Creative Writing Contest has finally subdued, it’s time I revealed my piece. I didn’t win this time either, but that’s not stopping me. No reason to give up just because of that – I still think I’ve achieved something, and have evolved as a writer. For those of [...]
With Blizzard’s Writing Contest of the year coming to an end soon, I figured it might be time to take a look and figure out a submission for this year. Last time, I stayed within the familiarity of the Warcraft Universe, with the story “A Change of Ways“. The advantages was that it has a [...]
Whenever I get a new idea for my story-project (Fate), the thought about when I should start writing the actual story comes to mind. When will I have enough “content” to really start the project, without getting to a point where I can’t get any further (that isn’t the actual end of the story)?
While the saying goes “Misfortunes never come singly”, the same thing luckily applies to other things as well. When coming up with ideas for various different things – being ways to crunch a coding problem, how to make sense of a plot line or something entirely different, it happens that once I get an idea, [...]
Surprise, surprise – flying is utterly boring after all. Eating, drinking and browsing through the entertainment system has helped so far, but for now I’m left with listening to music (Röyksopp is easy on the ears) and staring ahead (obviously I’m not now, as I’m writing), indirectly trying to drift into my creative state of [...]
Not too long ago, after finding out that I seemingly wasn’t allowed to “publish” my work for the Blizzard Global Writing Contest, the news were updated to reflect that it was actually “legal” to post them. And yes, I was extremely slow noticing this, but the time was rather critical: on top of my birthday, [...]
Around a month ago, I decided to enter Blizzard’s Writing Contest, with the hope of … well, except winning it, also honing my writing skills and actually drop myself a deadline to follow. I succeeded in getting to a result I thought was good, and submitted it, awaiting the outcome… and finally, a few days [...]
Not exactly news, but simply information about the fact that I’m going to join the contest, and do a fan fiction piece for the Blizzard Writing Contest. Sounds pretty cool. While the odds aren’t exactly large, it’s a nice way to test my writing skills. … but, first I have to finish an exam next [...]
As it’s finally starting to look like I’m going to have more spare-time in the near future (yeah, I’ll try to do more frequent updates soon – but hey, it IS “holidays” after all), I decided to find some nice books, to help me fuel my newly reborn passion of writing. Using my secret inspiration [...]
Different people have different ways of getting inspiration for going creative work. Some people listen to music, some people take a trip to the nature, some people free-write, and some people read. Me? I found a curious way to get my inspiration, or atleast to put my mind in the state that brings forth all [...]
