"Why, if I had all the cheese in the world I would make pizza!"

Hmm, yep, I think that I officially dislike reading.. Given to what you consider "reading" anyway.

Had to find a new book today at Barns n' Nobles. You would think that out of over 200 fantasy books I could simply find a novel that I would enjoy. Sadly, I could not. Simply because I've realised that 90% of all fantasy books seem overrated and too predictible to waste reading 400 or more pages of. Plots mostly revoling around the genre of "So-and-so becomes the ruler or is of some royality to *insert country/kingdom/land/world/regnew*, in which can also use magic. Appearently some type of evil thing returns or whatnot and that country/kingdom/land/world/regnew is in trouble, most likely resulting some huge war at the end of the book, also making the ruler person the main character and hero. This book may also revolve heavly on dragons and elves. Dragons most likely evil, and if good they are riden on. Male elves are the snobbish prissy-boy types, while the female elf is also a caster and the hero's main love interest." Without going into much detail of the actual plot, I've probably already explained about 80% of all fantasy books. Which makes me quite disapointed, to the point where I hate to consider some many of those actually "fantasy" books. Since the main purpose of fantasy is creativity. While I do love some of the aspects of fantasy, such as dragons, fairies, elves, etc. Having them constantly used in the same senarios really digusts me. However even with the most commonly used stereotypes can you still make a good plot, yet it depends on how it's done, as the same going to anything. But I think it takes a skilled writer to do that. But I also think everyone can be a skilled writer if they truly try hard enough.

That might be another reason why I like Japanese stuff more (rpgs, anime, manga, etc.). While they also have alot of very common overrated things in most of it(not all though), there are more creative with characters and plots compared to "Western Fantasy".


Also appearently I can submit computer art to my art class for credit =P. Which is good since so far I really hate the class work, so hopefully I can equal it out for "extra work"

New character of sorts

Been doodling some more today.. Still need to finish that now picture I want scan for deviantart, heh.

A new character has suddenly popped to me earlier this day. A random indian/native American-ish hawk-girl. Still have no idea where she came from, just sorta came instantly. Has no name yet either. Actually chances are, she might be Raynis, or possibly the new Tairra. Well, I have several ideas on how I want Raynis to be, one of them was in fact a hawk-girl(or harpy). Regardless, I kinda like this "hawk-girl". The joys of random drawing, you never really now what you might get sometimes from it, or actually start.

Funny how I been drawing lots of animal-like people lately. Not sure if it's just some fad I'm going through.


Lately I been having that problem of writing completion. I start one thing, move on to the next, loose inspiration and go back to what I started first. Right now Black Wings and Timekeeper are fighting. I started a little of Black Wings, then ran into a few problems. I'm sure many people when writing have had the problem of having two events but unsure of how to transition it. It's quite a nusiance. Also they are completing because I have good ideas for each, leading to unsure of what to do first.

As for Element Seeker... Sigh. There is still some bugs I must fix. Plus this the other two are more fresh and new they are actually easier. ES, well, it still needs several facelifts. Lots of characters are still getting shifted in it. Just recently I decided to kill off another character because she was lacking 'importance' save for a few things.


The curse of being multi-tasked.. You get pulled into so many directions at once before you have the chance to do anything with it.
