This blog post proves it.
With the stress of the job search, and everything else going on in the world right now, (A lot of which has indirect connections to my job search, but I won’t go into that) it’s hard to come up with something of interest to write about
Let me tell you about a game that I’ve been playing for the last couple of years (or more, I can’t remember now).
Hi all,
I began this blog at the start of the year by doing a series of posts as part of an assignment for Toastmasters. That went on for a couple of months, and I’ve kept the blog going consistently ever since (well, other than missing a day here and there like tonight).
My next Toastmasters speech will be based on a blog I wrote a few weeks ago, about whether Yield Signs are necessary or not. What do you think? I’ll be giving that speech in a couple of weeks. Should be fun.
I suppose, I am a Brony.
As mentioned previously, I began my creative exploits in art, I wanted to be a comic book artist. Drawing super heroes; my dream job would have been to draw the All-Star Squadron off of Roy Thomas’ scripts.
At the start I hadn’t thought about writing my own stories, but it wasn’t long before I realized that art, whether it be in comic books or not, was all about telling stories.
The first actual story I remember writing, was based off of a dream, which in turn was based off of the Transformers animated series… no actually in the dream it was characters out of GoBots (which I didn’t watch a lot of). What I actually wrote, which was absolutely terrible in the end, became a story about enemy aliens fighting a war here on earth, but only experiencing life as humans, did they find a way to come together in peace.
I didn’t write any comic book related stories until Junior High School as part of a class. I wrote a Secret Origin story for a couple characters I called “The Aqua Sister”. The teacher liked it, but nothing much came from it. Though over the years I have developed it into something else, a Lovecraft like story, that one of these days I will actually write the full story. The teacher liked another story I wrote at that time, which is a lot closer to the type of stories I write today, but that’s for another day.
Along with comic books, I also enjoyed animations. Very rarely did I come up with an animation-based story that I jotted down and turned into an actual story. Most of what I did amounted to a couple pages of notes.
During this time I was writing a long story about detectives and aliens. There was a lot to it, but I’ve put it away from now. Though the characters live on in other stories I’ve written.
