DGGrace: It's Official: Pokémon Go Just SUCKS

http://wordsfromdggrace.blogspot.com/2016/08/its-official-pokemon-go-just-sucks.html

Wednesday, August 10, 2016. It's Official: Pokémon Go Just SUCKS. Yes, children, it's official: Niantic's ever-so-popular game, Pokémon Go. To be more specific, Pokémon Go. Cheats its players. With update 1.1.0, I'd heard all the internet buzz about how Niantic had decided to make catching Pokémon harder to catch by increasing the likelihood of an escape from Pokéball after initial trapping but before the game's acknowledging "Gotcha! And she escaped from the ball. I threw another, trapped her again, and...

DGGrace: May 2014

http://wordsfromdggrace.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, May 28, 2014. So, before I put my first novel up for sale in Amazon's Kindle store, I did a lot of research into blurbs for stories. I found that, according to some writers, anyway, there are actual rules. About what you should and should not include in these blurbs. One of these rules says you should concentrate on your protagonist; tell what the story is about based on that one individual, and just forget about the rest. I didn't like this rule. In the case of Gifts. This is a curse? Now a s...

DGGrace: Beauty Full Friend

http://wordsfromdggrace.blogspot.com/2012/05/beauty-full-friend.html

Monday, May 7, 2012. Because that's how Morrison says it in the recording: "beauty full friend, the end."). I have a challenge for you, boys and girls. First, though, I need to throw out a bit of background info. Bear with me. I love eschatology. Let's be sure we're on the same page here, kids. I'm not talking about scatology. That's the study of poop. Eschatology. Under the grand aegis of eschatology. By the way, not an ending. Labels: Beauty Full Friend. June 25, 2012 at 10:23 AM. A coffee pot since a ...

DGGrace: Sweet Mystery of Life - eh, not quite

http://wordsfromdggrace.blogspot.com/2014/03/sweet-mystery-of-life-eh-not-quite.html

Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Sweet Mystery of Life - eh, not quite. Trigger warning - rape]. A friend of mine recently posted a Facebook link to an excellent article on Huffington Post (yeah, they still occasionally get one right). The piece, A "Rape Culture" Tutorial for Naysayers. Attack. My first thought upon reading his claim was, "O shit! He can read my mind! I promise, I did not. Call him any of the things I was thinking—not even dumbass. Be poisonous. If men (women too, really) learn to think of...

DGGrace: My Dangerous Manifesto

http://wordsfromdggrace.blogspot.com/2014/03/my-dangerous-manifesto.html

Monday, March 24, 2014. Ansel giving a high five. Back in 1967, Harlan Ellison forever altered the face, the texture, the flavor—the very core of speculative fiction (SF). He managed this sea change not by writing a radically new type of SF story (he'd done that two years earlier with his publication of "'Repent, Harlequin! Said the Ticktockman'" in Galaxy. Magazine). Nor did this change come with the coining or refinement of the term speculative fiction. Would be little more than reinforcement. Really a...

DGGrace: A Bit More on that Sequel

http://wordsfromdggrace.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-bit-more-on-that-sequel.html

Monday, August 25, 2014. A Bit More on that Sequel. As I explained before, Gifts. Pretty much said everything I wanted to say about my four changeling characters. Thus, initially, I considered the novel a complete, standalone product. Since my primary interest is in SF with a political or police-procedural bent, having completed my first Urban Fantasy was something of a relief. Had any caste significance (they don't) and how I would differentiate between conjuration. Says he doesn't consider himself a me...

Mentis Asylum: lipca 2011

http://mentisasylum.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Zło, czyli książka, która się skończyła. Skończyłem „ A Dance with Dragons”. Nie, nie napiszę, że jest to słaba książka. Kłamałbym prosto w ekran. Jest to jednak książka, która w pewien sposób przypomina mi czwartą część sagi o Wiedźminie. Musiała zostać napisana, żeby pewne wątki zamknąć. Musiała zostać napisana, żeby pociągnąć fabułę. Musiała zostać napisana, żeby zmieścić to, co nie zmieściło się w tomie poprzednim. Tyle, że nie popchnęła niczego naprzód. Przypomina mi bardziej kronikę, niż książkę fa...
