Today marks the 500th post on Blue Ink Alchemy. I thought it might be fun to take a peek at the last few round-number milestones, just to see how far we’ve come. Oddly, two of the four hundred-level posts have to do with Maschine Zeit. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. Post 100: Consistent Characters… Continue reading Five Hundred

IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! The Emperor's New Groove VIDEO
At last… IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! as I’ve envisioned it. [tube]z2mRrjkBK0I[/tube] Please provide feedback, comments and criticisms. I want to make this series better. Also, if there’s a way to make this player default to 360p, I’d love to find it. 240p is icky.
Truly Forgotten Realms, Part 2
Continuing an examination of the many campaign worlds of Dungeons & Dragons. Dragonlance The world of Krynn feels eerily similar to Faerûn, though in the case of Krynn the novels came before the setting. It was dreamed up by Laura & Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis, and features a well-storied history and geography along with… Continue reading Truly Forgotten Realms, Part 2
Truly Forgotten Realms, Part 1
Courtesy geneticanomaly.com Yesterday I touched on a subject that will hopefully grow more interesting and in-depth as the year gets underway. In keeping with the initial source and given that I’m creating a new character for an on-line D&D campaign, I find myself thinking about fully-formed campaign worlds that exist outside of the default setting,… Continue reading Truly Forgotten Realms, Part 1
Multiple Multiverses
They’re everywhere. They persist in existing when logic and reason insist they shouldn’t. They entice us with wonders and haunt us with dangers. They are worlds beyond our own, worlds beyond even the basic strictures of the fantasies we create. Other worlds, other planes, other universes – and we’re at the crossroads. Take for example… Continue reading Multiple Multiverses
The Query's The Thing
I’ve discussed querying in the past, and I’ve also mentioned the manuscript-mincing site Query Shark. Since I’m back at the point of sending out queries to agent, I think it’s worth reheating the subject. Query letters are at once the most straightforward and the most complex thing a novelist can write. It’s straightforward in its… Continue reading The Query's The Thing
Have A Plan
I think part of the problem with the previous deadlines for my upcoming video project was I didn’t establish any guidelines for what to do before the deadline hit. So let’s fix that, shall we? It should make the week to come more organized and the overall project a bit less intimidating. Today I will… Continue reading Have A Plan

[spoiler] CHAPTER ONE Field Trip Asherian rifled through his satchel for what seemed like the hundredth time. The tonics and salves stuffed therein were still in order.

48 Hour Hiatus
It’s been a long, long year. I’ve maintained a schedule for most of that year, with posts every day and Netflix every Friday. I want to move the thing forward to its next logical step, but that requires time and energy. Most of the last couple weeks, I haven’t had the time. Today? I just… Continue reading 48 Hour Hiatus
