House of the D.: Writing Contest
http://secret-hideout.blogspot.com/2009/10/writing-contest.html
House of the D. I entered Scalzi's SciFi Writing Contest over at AMC. 9 Stung by the reviews of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen that describe the flick as being utterly without any redeeming qualities, director Michael Bay declares that the next Transformers movie will have a story and script based on one of the plays of William Shakespeare. In no more than two paragraphs, write a synopsis of that movie, using any Shakespeare play you like. NOTE: No fair using Titus Andronicus. Ie, an ass.

House of the D. Recipe: Notes on Quiche. This turned out to be delicious, so I better write it down. I intend to try the croissant crust on a fruit pie - quite tasty, and very convenient. 1 can refrigerated croissant rolls. 1 bunch of spinach (or 1 10-oz package of frozen spinach), rinsed and chopped. 4 green onions, chopped. 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped. 1/2 pkg (4 oz) cream cheese, at room temperature. Mix the spinach mixture, cheese, and salt and pepper into the egg mixture. Pour into the pie p...

House of the D. A Betrayal in Winter. The Collected Ghost Stories of E.F. Benson. Edited by Richard Dalby. So far on the Gene Wolfe Solar Cycle. My only complaint with A Betrayal in Winter. Was the fact that most of the action (all but the epilogue) occurred in SUMMER. SUMMER. I think this is a valid complaint. The second book in the high fantasy The Long Price Quartet. This collection of his short stories, however, shows his weaknesses rather than his strengths. By collecting pretty much every ghost...

House of the D. Writerly ramble: Current status of the toolbox. I'm not very good at short stories. This was the one I liked the most so far - but it's still hasn't been published. But I have another short story drafted that I like, and I have another one rumbling around in the back of my head.and I really, really like short stories. Horror shorts, mostly. I promised myself I could get this one revised and sent out before I got back to Alien Blue. What are my current novel-writing tools? Here's the curre...

House of the D. So I've started studying for A . Yesterday I had a moment of complete zzzt, which ended up with me begging for Lee to hold me and let me blubber. Going into computers- which is the plan- is something completely new. I'm not worried about the test. Tests. Pfft. I'm worried about being able to fix people's computers. Which makes it sound more noble than it is; I'm worried about failing more than I'm worried about people having expensive paperweights. On a daily basis. Follow me on Twitter.

House of the D.: On the importance of importance.
http://secret-hideout.blogspot.com/2009/10/on-importance-of-importance.html
House of the D. On the importance of importance. Sadly, I don't know that I have anything to say that can't be said in 14o characters or fewer. If you see a blog post after this, I must have figured out something to say. I've been thinking over the last couple of days about things that are important. What is, what isn't, and why. Is being right important? Is being nice important? Which is more important? Is being "good" at something important? Is having "fun" important? Do I even have a choice? In the mi...
