My internet, I’ve decided, is about as consistent as used noodle water. You’d drink it if you absolutely had to stop yourself from suffering from dehydration, but you kind of know that all that starch simply cannot be good for you. Cloudy, starchy noodle water = my internet. It’s working again all of a sudden,…

National Young Writers’ Month – Day 16
I returned home last night after catching up with an ex-coworker for a few drinks to find my internet working. For how long? Well, not long enough. It wasn’t working this morning when I awoke and I’m currently in a study carrel at uni typing this. So here’s an update either way. I went back…
Lacking and Exams
Not sitting down to write for a while really got to me. I mean, knowing I had no internet and knowing I was powerless to actually do anything until the situation was resolved played its part, but I really think I stopped writing because I knew it wasn’t going to be published anywhere for people…
National Young Writers’ Month – Days 6, 7, 8, 9 – and a whole lot of interwebs shenanigans
I briefly have access to the internet again at home. I say briefly because there’s every chance this will drop out as I’m typing this update. What a time for it to go, though… I mean, E3 is on at the moment. For those of you not in the know, E3 is a yearly video…
National Young Writers’ Month – Day 5 – Noir and…
Well, I can’t tell you. You have to read the story. I told you I’d have more for you today, though! Enjoy. It was raining heavily. I walked into the bar. Another older couple sat toward the back, taking part in what only can be described as masticating their lunch. This dive would’ve had…
National Young Writers’ Month – Day 4 – A Brief Update and an Introduction…
This is technically day five now. But allow me to explain why there isn’t a completed short story for you to stuff your eye sockets with – I simply didn’t have time today/yesterday to write. I worked from 10am-6pm today, then headed to a very exciting VRDL bout and then capping my day off with…
National Young Writers’ Month – Day 3 – Nunsploitation, B-Grade Action, Christmas, Pirates
So this story comes to you courtesy of ideas suggested by my friends last night. When I said to them, “Hey, guys. Give me some genres for my next mashup story.” This is what I got… Slutty Nun! Christmas! Pirates. No, BEAR Pirates. While they’re not technically genres, I decided to give it a crack and…
National Young Writers’ Month – Day 2 – ZomRomCom
ZomRomCom Diary Entry #489 – Day 278 since the Infection Resources are becoming scarce. Today, however, was different. I came across a vending machine that had been left completely untouched. I’m of the opinion now that this was fate intervening. I haven’t seen another living person for at least 80 days. Knowing that Walkers are…
National Young Writers’ Month – Day 1 – Horror Haiku
Howdy, all, Well, here’s my first contribution to the seemingly impossible task I have set myself for this month. I have no doubt that it’s attainable, but it’ll take a lot of dedication and ideas. So, without further ado, here’s my first attempt! Horror Haiku She lit the fire winter’s chill was overcome on the…
Gnocchi, Departures and a Walrus
Final week of uni before SWOTVAC (Situation Without Owning Total Vaccines And Corn) begins. SWOTVAC doesn’t actually stand for what I just wrote, but I believe it’s far more interesting to describe the study period before exams start. I am coming down with a cold at the moment. I did tell my manager the other…
