When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around

I never was a morning person. With the job I have now though, I can go in anytime between 7 and 9. It's a lot easier to get up earlier when it's an option, not a requirement. I get up every morning around 6 without an alarm. If I add another half hour or so, I'll have to time to eat, do some internet surfing, exercise and shower and still get to work before 8:00.

You can always combine 1st and 3rd person.

 

[orchid blossom]

True, I could do that. Some bits from my characters point of view, others in 3rd. I think that'll work.

Apart from Story Hours, do you write?

I did in college. I was an English major and took a couple semesters of creative writing. I hadn't written anything much since. I entered the latest Ceramic DM though. I got put up against Mythago (a former winner) first round. I think I put up a good story. A lot of people said our match read like a final round rather than a first. Sadly, both of us couldn't advance, so I only wrote the one story. I'm going to try it again next time though.

I'm starting to get back into writing now. It's one of the reasons I'm writing for a story hour.

Cool... Hey I just noticed your sig is from Weird Al...

 

[orchid blossom]

It is indeed. A subtle reference for the true fan.

 

[Altamont Ravenard]

Who knew Weird Al would write a song about Pirate Cat's storyhour, though...

I think it would even surprise the wierd one himself.

Hey all, what's up?
