first sentences meme

via lebateleur!

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. ~~Then tag 10 authors!~~ Anyone who wants to run with this, should.

I did a meme very much like this in 2013, so, hey, fun excuse to try this again with newer stuff :)

( the sentences! )

( the trends! )

Cute time-wasting quiz of the day: Gamer Motivation Profile

My results:
* Action 54%
* Social 26%
* Mastery 66%
* Achievement 3%
* Creativity 26%
* Immersion 59%

There's some cute breakdowns into subcategories in the full analysis, which is too long to bother posting, but—for instance, "mastery" is broken down into both "strategy" (do you like games which involve lots of thinking, resource management, planning, etc) and "challenge" (do you play on the hardest mode possible all day erryday); unsurprisingly I ranked way high in strategy but rather lower in challenge :P

I truly give zero fucks about 100%ing games, maxing out all the things, etc, hence my hilariously low rating in "achievement."

I have a feeling I can guess the prospective results for at least some of my flist here :P

Titles pt. 2 + errata

2013-05-13T00:20:13Z

Well since Rethi and Raphi are doing titles, and since it's been a few months since my last titles infodump, might as well do another one :D

( Titles pt. 2 )

Also the last time I did an author's-notes-type-thing was last October, since I never have enough thoughts on any one story to make an actual post about, but here's a roundup of random thoughts on stories I've written since then.

writing improvement meme

2013-03-19T12:12:24Z

Inspired by amielleon's similar tumblr post.

I decided to dive through what I could find of my old stuff and see how my writing's changed through the years. Several RPG posts are included just because I put a lot of effort into RPGs for a great portion of my writing journey and whatnot. I didn't go out of my way to find things that were especially good or especially embarrassing (though some of these are indeed embarrassing)—mostly I aimed for things I thought were fine/good/okay at the time of writing, rather than finding things that I thought were THE GREATEST THING EVAR or THE WORST THING I EVER WROTE at the time of writing.

( Legends, 1999 )
( Dawn Warriors, 2000-2002ish )
( RPG post, 2003 )
( short story, 2005 )
( Distant Thunder, 2007 )
( RPG post, 2007 )
( North Star, 2008 )
( short story, 2011 )

I guess the trends aren't that interesting. I mean, the early stuff's just stilted in obvious, hey-I'm-young-and-getting-used-to-this-writing-thing ways, everything in the 2003-2006 era tends toward purple-ness and melodrama, and things seem to start settling around 2007, with several awkward bumps and edges that get sanded off later. I still see the earliest form of a lot of the rhythmic tricks I try for pretty regularly nowadays, though. Maybe that's about when I was finding my "voice" (whatever the fuck that means)? Or maybe I've just been stagnating/progressing more slowly since then, whichever :P
