The following three things happened today:
-I started work on a rambling little essay about bears. Then I found out that I couldn’t upload pictures for some reason, presumably because of some maintenance that’s coming up in the next week.
-I gave up on that and started scraping together the first bit of a short story I’d got an idea for last night. I got two thirds of a page in and flatlined, realizing that it would need both (A) lots of research on something I barely understand and (B) an actual plot.
-I frantically, furiously hunted through my documents swearing like an inebriated linguist and hoping that I’d written something two years ago that wasn’t absolute pus on toast that I hadn’t already used. I hadn’t.
So….. to get about a roundabout way of saying it, this is my first official “I screwed up and didn’t manage to give you a single worthwhile thing all week” post. No doubt this will turn into a slippery slope of pathetic down-the-drain derailment that ends in me posting something bimonthly to apologize for not posting. Or it will encourage me to start actually going over what I’m going to put up on Wednesday BEFORE Wednesday arrives. Whichever.
I leave you with two things: My apologies, and the links to a pair of webcomics that are vastly more entertaining than anything I ever put up here.
The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Absolute absurdity. Where else can you have a storyline involving a clone of Benjamin Franklin that makes perfect sense?).
Gunnerkrigg Court: (General excellentness. Art starts off much rougher than it ends up being).
Again, I’m sorry. I’m lazy, but this really shouldn’t be happening.
