24 Hour Comic (2)
Alright, so for plot, I either do something new or something I have. Jeck would make an interesting subject for a 24 hour comic. I could even do his life by 24 hours. He only sleeps, like, three of those...
So, Ideas:
----previous characters/stories
-Jeck
-Sky (she gets, like, no coverage from me)
-Greyblade, an obvious choice
-any of them, really (Dracco, Drew, Teino, Chloe? That’d be interesting)
-etc.
----fan work? Naw...
----Something new, just for the heck of it.
-steampunk
-math
- etc.
24 Hour Comic (1)-- What the heck am I doing?
Ok, I was sooo unprepared. And I've pretty much blown two hours. And then there's the family event to contend with...
But enough about the challenges, the obstacles. let us commence and go forth unto victory!

24 Hours and 13 Days
 |
| Here. |
Well, this is kind of a rotten time to mention either of these, since one's over halfway over and the other is two days away, but yay, I'm doing October Poetry Writing Month (write a poem a day; don't worry, I have plenty of catching up to do as well) and 24 Hour Comic, where you write a 24 page (plus cover, so 25 page) comic in 24 hours!
Yes I am crazy. And you can be too! Join the madness!
Just kidding (sort of), but seriously, you should check it out. It's not too late just yet...

Doctor Who 101
Well, in case you haven't noticed, and I really hope you have because if not it means you neither read my blog nor surf my pinterest boards and that hurts a bit, I've gotten into Doctor Who recently. And I do mean recently, as in maybe a couple of months ago. and I do mean I've really gotten into Doctor Who, in the I-jump-at-sounds-that-could-be-the-TARDIS-rematerializing-I-know-facts-about-every-era-I-own- a-plush-TARDIS-keychain-that-makes-the-VORP-VORP-sounds gotten into.
And it has come to my attention that not all of you are exactly aware of just what Doctor Who really is. May be you vaguely recall a zany, curly haired man with a very long striped scarf from your childhood (as I did), or maybe you've heard your fellow nerds and geeks discussing it during lunch break at various gatherings (again, as I), or perhaps you just spend too much time on the Internet (...yeah. -_-), or perhaps, and this is certainly the worst of the possibilities, you've NEVER heard of Doctor Who. (In which case, I pity you. I dearly pity you...) but not to worry, because there is much to learn and much to be said, and I know many of them the direction in which I may point you.
To put it simply, Doctor Who is a British Television Sci-fi Drama (the longest running Sci-fi drama in the world, with over 32 seasons of television cannon and spanning over 46 years of time. Since 1964, baby.) about a human-like alien known simply as the Doctor, who travels in space and time in near-magic-like blue police box called the TARDIS (a Type 40 TARDIS, to be precise, the last of her kind), a super advanced time/space ship that is far, far bigger on the inside. He hops around the cosmos, doing his best to fix things that go wrong and save people. He travels with passerngers known as companions, often humans (as they are his favorite species), whom he shares his adventures
with, and who protect the Doctor as much as he protects them.
It's completely and utterly awesome.
I could on and on about the show, but instead I am going to recommend what I feel is the best introduction pretty much anyone could have to the series--this ten minute video by SF Debris, which explains everything you need to know to get started. Enjoy! (sorry I can't post it directly on the blog, since it's not on YouTube. But here is a link to his site and blip.tv, his chosen video hosting site.)

Counting
So one day, while I was eating salted almonds, I was counting and arranging them, like I do from time to time, and getting a huge thrill out of it...I'm sure all of you have done that on occasion too, right?
Anyway, I decided to take a picture on an impulse, just so you get an idea of just how...me your author is. Of course, I chose the number 13, because it is one of, if not my outright, favorite number. Why? It's such a twisted, misunderstood, so-ugly-it's-cute type of number. I've always thought it's pretty, but there is a reason why it doesn't come up as often as 9, 3, 7, etc; it's a bit awkward, and often passed up in favor of its much more streamline, divisible neighbor, 12.
13 has some nice properties and relations to society and the universe-- it's the number of Archimedean solids in existence, the number of notes (via inclusive counting) in an octave, and it has a spooky, unluckiness to it that no other number can compete with (though not in Italy XD).
