  • Sharing Your Story

    All of us have a story to tell. How we tell it is perhaps the difference between all of us. Some of us choose to tell it through the art of writing. We mold our words into the frame of our story, crafting it through the fires of our knowledge and heart, and then release…

  • World-building Part 5 – Geomorphology (planetary features)

    Note this is a series: Part One, Part Two, Part Three, and Part Four. A note for my readers, especially those interested in my paper mache planet project: This post in particular describes how I created my own tectonic plate maps, determined the geological features of my own planet including major rivers and lakes; I’ve…

  • Experimenting with a proto-type

    This is just an update of my planet project. My paper mache planet will need another layer of paper mache to smooth it down a bit more. I also need to create a stand for it to ready it for painting. The worst problem with the paper mache is how to do the entire ball…

  • Paper Mache Planet Part 1

    The first part of my planet project has begun!  I wanted to include an update of this project this week.  My desktop computer is still down, and although my laptop is a bit finicky, it’s still useable, so I’m updating from it for this week. I spent most of the time since my last update…

  • Computer Problems Continue

    I have had computer problems all week, and have not been able to access a computer. Due to this, I’ve been unable to update my blog. I apologize for this hiatus! In the meantime, while I work on fixing my computer, I’ve bought a ten inch solid styrofoam ball that I will mask in one…

  • Computer Trouble

    My desktop ceased to work the other night, and I’m relegated to my old laptop that tends to randomly shut off. A friend is helping me with the desktop, for it’s possible that it was just the video card that burnt out. If it’s the CPU, then we have a lot more to replace. My…

  • Writing software

    I’m currently testing this writing program: Scrivener So far I’m majorly impressed with its design, especially it’s easy to use functionality. First off, the major strengths of Scrivener is it’s organization abilities.  On the left hand side of the program is the “binder,” where it’s wonderfully easy to organize the scenes of a writing project…

  • Diversity: Race

    At Racebending.com, the article, “Frustration of an Asian American Whedonite,” expressed in vivid detail one of my biggest qualms with the Firefly universe – a show I dearly love.  Here is the fusion of Asian and American culture in the future, but there is no actual representation of Asian people outside of a few scarce…

  • Illness

    Since I haven’t felt well of late, I’ve wondered how illness is portrayed in stories. Sometimes it feels like illness is hardly ever mentioned – like the science fiction story I’ve finished reading lately, where it progresses forward in a very play by play manner, and everyone is always perfectly healthy. No one ever suffered…

  • World-building Part 4 – Atmospheres and Natural Cycles

    Note this is a series: Part One, Part Two, and Part Three. In order to have a planet house life, an atmosphere is absolutely essential, unless the sentient species is capable of enclosed domes, which even then they’d still have an atmosphere within that enclosed dome. This brings us to the fourth part of building…
