Dec 13, 2011 - If my stories are my babies, then by most every law and state out there, I'd be filed with some serious neglect charges.

I haven't updated or written anything (in completion beyond disjointed paragraphs and for the same story) in quite a while. Likely, that's going to continue for a while as I don't really have the time, energy, or mindset to post like I used to. So thank you everyone who's been reading/reviewing/fav'ing/following, but life and priorities and all that.

The story I am writing exists, written in absolutely perfect fashion, some place, in the air. All I must do is find it, and copy it. Jules Renard, "Diary," February 1895

Fics that are apart of the BlueVerse:

(1) She Got It Honest: in which Rogue is the spawn of Logan, the biological niece of Deadpool, and Weapon X is a problem

(2) Scenes from a Rogue Life: in which snippets of little Anna's life are told.

(3) Adventures in Disney: in which Anna and 'Uncle' Wade terrorize DisneyWorld.

YJAwards I have no idea what to classify this as.

C. S. Lewis quotes I like what the man had to say.

Quotes from Ted Dekker's Blink

"Love. Yes, he was in love with her. Not just love, as in dear-me-I-think-I'm-in-love love, but LOVE, as in pass-the-poison-I-must-die-without-you love." 268

Quotes about writing

"Don't say it was delightful; make us say delightful when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers Please will you do the job for me."
— C.S. Lewis

Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. Anton Chekhov

Easy reading is damn hard writing. Nathaniel Hawthorne (Preachin' to the choir...)

Books (Stories) want to be born: I never make them. They come to me and insist on being written, and on being such and such. Samuel Butler

Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. Nathaniel Hawthorne

i never think at all when i write
nobody can do two things at the same time
and do them both well
Don Marquis, Archy's Life of Mehitabel, 1933

When you are describing,
A shape, or sound, or tint;
Don't state the matter plainly,
But put it in a hint;
And learn to look at all things,
With a sort of mental squint.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll)

It is plagiarism when you take something out of a book and use it as your own. If you take it out of several books then it is research. Quoted by Ralph Foss, 1932(Thanks, Garson O'Toole!)

If I'm trying to sleep, the ideas won't stop. If I'm trying to write, there appears a barren nothingness. Carrie Latet (Too true)

I asked Ring Lardner the other day how he writes his short stories, and he said he wrote a few widely separated words or phrases on a piece of paper and then went back and filled in the spaces. Harold Ross (Hey, Ring writes like me!)

Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow: I’ll kill him. And I don’t mean facetiously like kicking his butt. I mean actually putting arrows in him until he’s a corpse. (That is not a quote about writing; I just think it's funny)

I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him. Mark Twain (I think I should read his books. I might like them.)

STRESS: A condition brought on by over-riding the bodily desire to choke the living daylights out of some jerk who desperately deserves it.
