New Blog and New Content
Welcome to the new and improved Kistublot!
My fellow contributors have already posted, and I've meant to several times, but oh well right? We all know I can take a little extra time time to time, but that when it comes down to it I . . . sometimes get things done . . . Oh wait, none of you actually knew me in high school. I can lie about that? Hooray!
One random factoid: The first novel length story I completed was originally written starting in the summer of my freshman year of high school. It would grow, expand, be given in total about five drafts, and the final of which to current date was written mostly at the end of my senior year. The school I went to had slowly become more and more strict since it was built, canceling upper classperson off campus privileges the year before I began attending...
However?
Once you were 18, you were able to sign yourself out with no scrutiny. So a few times I signed myself out of my last class, Graphic Design (the other block day's class, Creative Writing, was the class I looked forward to all day to get through the other crap) and would go to a park to write. Excuses included medical, dental, familial, and once I think I might have slipped and mentioned the truth in a not to clever way.
But I didn't really care anyway by that point. Not that I didn't care about graduating - I did - but freshman year alone had ruined my GPA to the point where having some absences at the very end didn't really matter to me much. Some of those park-writing-sessions took place at the park where - listening to The Servant's song "Cells" I wrote the introduction to "The Adventures of Silver Girl."
One thing I miss about writing Silver Girl, and the stuff before, was that I would often write it in wordpad so I couldn't see how long it was getting. Now a days, even if I were to do that due to well... experience... I'd know. I can't go back to the things I miss about the beginning of this era of my writing, which makes me wax nostalgically for them.
Oh well, huh? It happens!
That brings another thing to mind: tAoSG is horrifically well . . . not up to par with the writing of the later stories. Have I talked about that here on the blog before? I'm honestly not sure. So much comes up. and I don't pay nearly enough attention to me own blog. Mostly, honestly, because I didn't foresee this writing slump... and its a little depressing.
So anyway, have I asked this here? How would people feel if Silver Girl got a THX makeover? The original would remain, fully intact, this would be sort of... a digital remastering, a director's cut... the story we all know and love upgraded to suit the fact that I no longer suck.
How does that sound to everyone?
Not because I wont do it if you dislike it, but well, some support would help me get off my ass about it. The original will still exist and be distributed, just not on the EMCSA. It would be kept on me sitey. For people's benefit, I would even zip file it and be like "Tada!" or I could steal the HTML from the way back machine . . . and be like "as it originally looked!"
The latter sounds cooler . . .
Lastnight I wrote a story just over the length of Exvolensation. I think it's a better idea, and story, overall. I think I'll write another two stories of about equal length, and include them as an anthology.
Also have a new idea about a psychic detective. Its not lame as it might sound, promise. Its actually very, very cool. You'll all have to wait to see how that turns out, because I like the idea I'm working on currently. I'll preview the first story soon as I have them all written and give them twice overs.
I end this post with a little bonus: here.
Enjoy!

KITTY POST! :3
You know how I feel about a THX remastering. Deeeefinitely go ahead with that! I can't wait to edit my first more-than-a-glance exposure to EMC fiction. *coos*
(Do I get to make another style sheet?)
I'm glad you got some good writing done last night. Silly Kitty making me wait for the twice-over . . .
*whimpers at the picture and slinks away in search of coffee*
Too many different log on accounts >_<
I'd like a remastering ^_^ But new stories are always good to!
*giggle madly* Coffeebot!
But yeeeees! Silver Girl: The Directors Cut would be yummy ~.~
