Seriously, my heart just fucking broke.
Archive for March, 2009
I had my short horror story returned late last week, with some great comments and an “A-” scribbled on it in nearly indecipherable red script. Good times. Comments, good or bad, are likewise welcome alongside this digital version, though I’d prefer if you kept them as readable as possible!
I feel as though I should first mention the page breaks that I used when I published Corrupted in November and will be using again here. They’re more or less for the sake of pacing. I know that some writers (and readers, too, I suppose) feel that this should be left up to the audience for interpretation, but just as you might not leave the names of your characters to the imagination, I think these stories’ “rhythms” are equally as important in helping to tell them.
Anyway, that’s enough of this pretense. Enjoy!

This is how I understand it:
The Album Cover Game
1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2. Go to http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3. The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.
3. Go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days. The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Use Photoshop (or similar) to put it all together.
It’s weird how strongly this concept appeals to me. I suspect it’s because I have an affinity for extracting awesome band names from everyday strings of words. Let’s see what band is born of fate today:
Not bad!
