Hey there all. I have a blog, it's here at http://dustinbishop.wordpress.com/ if anyone's interested. I've kinda "epic failed" at keeping up with it during college...I got completely swamped and the thought of keeping up with interesting posts and my blog series (cool idea, didn't think about the time sink) just filled me with dread. But now I'd like to get back into the swing of it and I was wondering if any of you do the same?

My blog series is sort of like if Supernatural was a B-movie with a little more realism. You can check it out here if that sort of thing interests you. http://dustinbishop.wordpress.com/2012/01/14/salt-and-iron-episode-one-midnight-riot/ I went very minimalism with the prose here, but a lot of people have told me they enjoyed it. I'd be glad to stop by your blogs as well and I'd be really interested in any other "blog series".

I was just looking over an old manuscript I had been forced to put on hold over the past few months due to lack of time and wow. The first chapter was freaking beautiful (shocked the crap out of me), but here's the kicker. Some how in the second chapter I went from 1st person past tense to 1st person present tense. I must have completely zoned into my character...It really freaked me out because I did not remember doing this. Anyone else ever notice things like this before?

Haven't seen a thread on this before so I thought I'd start one. I've started a Supernatural themed blog series to keep my writing skills up even though my time is limited due to college and work. You can find it here if you'd like to take a look http://dustinbishop.wordpress.com/. Do any of you have blog series? It seems to be a trend among a few writers at absolute write. I plan to write a short story following these characters at least every two weeks. Any others do this differently? How do you go about spreading the word, and has it been successful? Come share your experiences here .

Hey there all. I've been stalking this forum with anticipation ever since I decided that I was gonna blow money on these great looking books. I was just wondering, does anyone use visual aids during their campaigns? My gf and my buddy will prolly be the only two that would be interested in playing so I'm 99.9% positive that I'd be the GM. I was thinking it would be cool to use pictures from the net of things in the campaign to help them visualize more of where they are or what they're fighting. Anyone else do this?

In my free time I love to Read/Write as I'm sure almost everyone else here does aswell. I really like to have a sort of "backbone" or a solid realistic basis for my ideas and creatures or what have you that I put into my stories. That being said I love to read mythology and legends because to me that is my solid "realistic" basis for the contents of my stories. (I do change them to make them my own though of course.) Anyways I was wondering if anyone else does this and well where do you find your information? Can you recommend any books or other sources? I'm beginning to put Magic into my stories or at least a form of it but I'm not sure where to start the search for a solid basis of semi-realistic information on the subject. Thanks. Heres hoping that I worded my request correctly. Cheers.
