I AM INDEED STILL ALIVE

WHO'D HAVE GUESSED...

Anyhoo. People may have noticed I haven't been updating recently.

Sorry about that. Life kindof just...happened.

I have started writing again recently, and will (hopefully) have some updates and/or news soon.

Works that I'm still ACTIVELY WORKING ON:

Magic and Exorcism

Works that I'm COMPLETELY REDOING FROM SCRATCH:

Ninja Tales

Works that have been PUT ON HIATUS:

Of Dragons, Stars and Ninjas

The Path: A Tale of Six Sisters

I've been told that I'm really good at coming up with names for characters. Truth is, I usually just know where to look.

I mean, I'm OK at some Western European and some Southern African names due to being an Afrikaaner, but for other things:

In general Behind the Name is a really good name site, along with their sister Surname and Place name sites. Tools I use on this site ALL THE TIME are the Name Themes and Random Name Generator.

While Behind the Name is pretty versatile, I've found it's slightly lacking in Japanese names (especially if most of the fanfiction you write is anime, and you need a variety of Japanese names).

For Japanese names I really like Japanese Names .info.
I also use Jisho and this Kanji Directory on Hi!Penpal! to to help with Kanji combinations and reading options when I decide to write my character's names in Kanji.

"A writer's block is your subconsciousness demanding that you take a break away from the computer screen and reload your creative juices until further notice. Stress prolongs the reload time, and yes, it does have adverse effects from time to time. There are no current remedies to this condition, so it just has to run its course."

How to Tell if You're a Writer

- If you talk to yourself.
- If you talk to yourself about talking to yourself (i.e. ‘I wonder why I talk to myself so much?’)
- If, when you talk to yourself, you sometimes speak as if talking to another person (i.e. ‘Okay, so have you ever noticed that the word ‘deliver’ could mean removing someone’s liver?’)
- If, after uttering a profound piece of wisdom like that above, you stare at the cookie in your hand in awe and say, ‘Wow, this is good stuff for sugar highs!’
- If you live off of sugar and caffeine.
- If people start to notice that you tend to check your e-mail every day for a week, then suddenly disappear off the face of the planet.
- If your e-mails tend to be pages long and incredibly random.
- If, when replying to someone else’s e-mail, you are sometimes so random that you fail to address the original message altogether.
- If you tend to collect the Bic Stics people leave lying around, kind of like picking pennies off the ground.
- If, no matter where you are in your room, you never have to so much as get up to reach a pen/pencil and paper.
- If the letters are starting to wear off on the keys of your keyboard.
- If people think you might have A.D.D.
- If you think it’d be cool to have A.D.D.
- If you start constantly talking and/or thinking in third person, past tense.
- If you think about making lists like this, and start giggling for no ‘apparent’ reason.
- If your friends don’t even bother to look funny at you anymore when you start giggling for no apparent reason.
- And finally, the number one way to tell if you’re a good writer: If you failed English 101

Copy and paste this onto your profile if more than 10 of the above fit you! (Don't worry, I didn't fail English)
