Author by day, deviant by night.

Here is where I write and express the ideas for stories. Nothing here is actually true to the stories I'm writing as that would drive publishers crazy, but it is a place for me to practice writing characters and to get feedback from readers. Maybe even someday I can have fans!

I love my new job

But today I had media law at 9 a.m. I had to walk to the train since my car is in the shop, and then to campus. No big deal, but it meant waking up a half hour earlier than usual. I have work until 10:30ish tonight and will have to walk to the train and take it home afterwards. This means I’ll be home around midnight. I have local politics tomorrow at 9 a.m.

The only time I have to myself is this hour between classes and work. Not enough time for a productive nap, nor to take the train home and back out to work. So I’m hiding out at a favorite haunt trying to conserve energy.

I really, really love me new job. It is incredible. I just wish my body didn’t hurt so bad.

30 Day Dresden Challenge: Day 6

Least Favorite Character: Grevaine

This necromancer from Dead Beat did not catch my attention, bothered me when he killed Phil the security guard, and just lacked that thrill. Even his drummer was interesting in the use of the car stereo (and the later discovery of his identity), but Grevaine is lame in my eyes.

Favorite Short Story: Last Call

Mac has been one of my favorite characters for a long time, and this one gave him a little more focus. I enjoyed it.

THE LINKREDIBLE GIVEAWAY! 

To celebrate the launch of our new blog fuckyeahhylia, we have decided to have an amazing giveaway for the lovely people of tumblr. There are two prizes including a Wii U: Premium Pack (Black) and a Nintendo 3DS: The Legend of Zelda Limited Edition. The deadline and drawing date is on the bottom.

PRIZE INFORMATION

Wii U: Premium Pack (Black) - The reason for me giving away such a prize is because I had won the Wii U for free at a raffle, even though I already had my own. At first I wanted to sell the whole pack, but with the release of Wind Waker HD coming to the Wii U, I would rather a legitimate and deserving Nintendo fan get the opportunity to play it instead of someone attempting to buy it off me to save a few bucks. However, I do want at least SOME money out of it, so I will be selling the NintendoLand game elsewhere. Therefore, the NintendoLand software that is included with the Premium Pack will NOT be included in this giveaway.  Other than that, the console itself is brand-spanking new (unused), and is packed and ready to be given to the lucky winner.

For more details on the Wii U: Premium Pack (Black) prize, message Noel on either his blog or fuckyeahhylia.

Nintendo 3DS: The Legend of Zelda Limited Edition - People around tumblr have always been sulking about not having this limited edition Zelda 3DS. I won this $100 prepaid visa gift card at an orchestra banquet last year and I hadn’t used it, apparently. So, I decided to search for the 3DS on eBay and I was actually surprised to find one under the budget! Gave the card to my mother and she took care of the rest. It’s in pretty great condition, barely used, all the functions are fine, the screen is as sharp as a tack. However, this was just for the hand-held device, not Ocarina of Time 3DS. I can’t provide for everything! Also, it didn’t come in the original packaging, so I’ll send it bubble wrapped and safe inside a small box. Charger and stand included.

For more details on the Nintendo 3DS: The Legend of Zelda Limited Edition prize, message Elly on either her blog or fuckyeahhylia.

Dresden Files 30 Day Challenge: Day 4

Day 4: Favorite Villain

Nicodemus is the villain I love to hate. I had to think about whether it was him or the nagaloshi which were my favorite, but I really like Nick and the Nickle Heads.
