Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums: October 2012
http://whitepyrus.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums. Saturday, October 27, 2012. There Are Halloween-Theme Leaves All Over My Lawn. I've gone almost the whole month of October in silence, at least with regards to the awakening and the subsequent consumption of perennial Asteraceae that this blog proposes to be its subject. It's a far cry from the business of the early summer, when every day I had something to say, even if it wasn't particularly noteworthy. I haven't been whiling away in purposelessness. Take the edge off.

Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums: Virol and the Doctor part 1
http://whitepyrus.blogspot.com/2013/07/virol-and-doctor-part-1.html
Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums. Saturday, July 6, 2013. Virol and the Doctor part 1. So about character archetypes, I am going to be talking about two circumstantially similar characters. This may be an exercise I have performed before but it's happening nevertheless. The more recognizable character is of course the Doctor of Doctor Who. The other is a man called Virol, my own creation whose public existence only perpetuates in my self-published novella Ashes of Silver. Labels: Ashes of Silver.

Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums: Progress Report
http://whitepyrus.blogspot.com/2014/05/progress-report.html
Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums. Wednesday, May 7, 2014. Hey folks. So in some ways work is going slowly on my project, but in other ways it's still moving forward. I've finished a first draft of the text for the first post. Since it's the first post I'm probably going to revise it considerably more than subsequent posts. There's still plenty of planning and writing and other such work to do, but it's being worked on. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Reality and Other Fictions.

Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums: September 2012
http://whitepyrus.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums. Sunday, September 23, 2012. I am affected by the seasons. Profoundly. The trees change their leaves then shed them (or at least the deciduous do) as things get bleaker. I just get. As I have mentioned before, this is my first fall not going back to school. One consequence of this is that this is my first autumn not spent amongst my immediate peers. Another is that it is a season of special change, the sort of change I have never known. I want to be good. I want to ...

Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums: December 2012
http://whitepyrus.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums. Tuesday, December 25, 2012. Sunday, December 23, 2012. Thoughts scattered in time. I guess one of the troubles I have with receiving critiques of my own writing is that it has a tendency to dash my hopes. Oftentimes I am trying to elicit a certain emotional response from the reader, but some other details get in the way or the reader first feel invested enough yet. In some of my free time I have been re-envisioning the work of my youth. Most of my free time is sent...

Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums: Thought Lives Are Weird
http://whitepyrus.blogspot.com/2013/07/thought-lives-are-weird.html
Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums. Monday, July 22, 2013. Thought Lives Are Weird. So lately my brain had been confused about whether I am considering becoming an atheist. I say this because in the last few weeks I have found myself debating the points in my head why it would be a bad idea for everyone else were I to make that decision, without an easily discernible source. But I don't really believe that either stance on homosexuality is going to keep someone from heaven. Its just that I am beginni...

Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums: July 2012
http://whitepyrus.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums. Monday, July 30, 2012. Back For a Sec. That was kind of a long break for me to take, but I think, for the most part, it was worth it. I'd love to say I was really busy getting up to all the things—I'd love to claim I had all the irons in the fire, as it were—but honestly I didn't do much except hang with family and chill out and stuff. And it fits so well with the story of the movie. Sorry for spoiling that for you. I recently watched a bunch of My Little Pony and it's...

Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums: May Brings Change
http://whitepyrus.blogspot.com/2014/05/may-brings-change.html
Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums. Thursday, May 1, 2014. Starting this month I'm working on a project that will hopefully have me writing considerably more than I have been, and will hopefully have considerably more people reading it too. I'm posting a Hearthstead novel in weekly portions. Maybe bi-monthly. Still haven't decided that part. Here's some stuff I don't know yet that I need to sort out before this actually starts happening:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Reality and Other Fictions.

Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums: Coolness.
http://whitepyrus.blogspot.com/2013/08/coolness.html
Wake Up and Eat the Chrysanthemums. Friday, August 16, 2013. And here's what I have to say this week. I've been thinking about a specific concept that humans have. It comes in many shades depending on the culture involved, but it's always esoteric. As the title of this post suggests it's "cool," or "awesome," a bevy of hippie slang, "badass," etc. So how is "coolness" like beauty? We said, "This and this look good, even with the grit and debauchery. Because. Of the grit and debauchery.". Now I'm hardly a...
