He's going for speed. He's going the distance. Ahh... / Ah. Words to remember: neoteny. cynosure. immanent. mercantilism. teleology.

Writing a ‘Glitch’ to Submit to CompositeArts.com
May 18th, 2012 by exxceptiondraft received No Comments »I’m polishing a piece I wrote for the following theme for this cool online lit magazine I found at composite arts.com: GLITCH
“We want control. We are not being anal, we are not being demanding, but rather stating the quintessential want of every breathing thing on this earth. We want to have dominion and conquest over the matter at hand. But, when we are not given such a right, all hell breaks loose. Hearts broken, faith questioned, the validity of our existence comes to question. Maybe we have no control, no right to be creators of the decadent? But, perhaps this is needed to wake us up, to reveal the endured spirit that has sprinted after trial and trial, to show that the profane abomination, resulting from the loss of strict control, is glorious. The Glitch has made it perfect..”
My story is about a guy who decides to go outside for the first time in a month and then gets forced into a car as he’s walking by a liquor store, just as he’s noticing new things like the police lights and the man bursting out the the door at him brandishing a gun and knocking him down, and thereby becoming a hostage and beginning a new adventure, just like he was hoping for…

Just bought this, looks pretty cool. I guess it’s 1st person shooter with vehicles? But anyway, I like the trailer because it comes out and tells you: YOU’RE the bad guy, this is what YOU DID, now, YOU’RE IN THE GAME, THIS IS IT.
Which is kind of heavy handed narration technique, if you’re writing like a short story, but is interesting if someone hands you a ‘controller’ and then you’re put into this situation kind of in medias res. That catch can be cool.

hoooowdy! how it’s all going with your game?
May 17th, 2012 by ExXception Draft received No Comments »It’s still going. I’ve been kind of busy doing spring stuff, but have still been working on the game a bunch. I try to work on it a little each day at least. I read on ‘research’ topics the most; I’m reading like thirty books on various topics regarding different subjects in the game, which is my ulterior motive for being a writer, and my mode of writing - taking notes and formulating ideas as I go. You can keep up with what I’m reading on my goodreads.com page. I try to post notes on there too. I’ll try to post some more screenshots and details as I work on more levels and such, too. Thanks for asking about it.
