Building a Marketplace Sunday, March 28th, 2010
Hi y’all interneterz! We just have a lil’ old short post today. This weekend I’m rolling out one of the many side projects that have been backing us up here at RARMedia Enterprises International Inc. LLC. Introducing “Post-It of the Day”, a gallery of quick doodles and sketches made while waiting for the old Comp-u-tron X3600 to finish processing files.
Exquisite Corpses Y’all Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
Okay, so we started this little experiment as a way to celebrate NaNoWriMo. I have been longing to stretch my writing legs again for quite a while. (There is only so many ways to sell an “exclusive new table saw!”) So, I bamboozled some good friends to go with me on this literary ride. It is basically a structured story-swap or exquisite corpse sort of deal. 1,000 words at a time we trade off the narrative and see where the next author takes us.
Below is the first sketch of a protagonist. It is more of an outline of sorts – with numerous jumping off points for following authors to use. Falling back on my old writing style, I usually try to get a character to do just one thing and then fill in between until I pass out or through the scene away.
Writing has always been hard for me. Good or bad, to get ideas out of my head I go through what can only be described as intellectual vomiting. Everything comes out at once and I have to keep going back to clean it up.
Anyway, this project should prove to be interesting, and I promise to not get anything on your shoes if you wish to stay awhile.
