Excalibur in neon

Dear Transformers Animated: if you're going to try for similar character types as the Best Cartoon Evar (still Gargoyles), you might try at least not using the same voice actors for them. Seriously.

Between that and the giant chins from chinland, I don't think I can get into this show. Sadface.

Wow. So this whole 'getting back into the writing groove' thing, it's feeling a little like trundling through molasses. I'm trying to finish a year-old novella, and I feel like I've literally and metaphorically lost the plot with it. Ugh. Everything feels stilted and wooden and awful. I'm soldiering on though, because I like this story, dammit.

It's also really weird for me to write something where not much action happens. People talk to each other, basically. I think it would be kind of interesting as a play or audio drama, actually. It might be a hellish and foolhardy fun exercise to adapt it into script format when it's done.

In other news, when can I stop being tired? I swear, I do sleep!

About time that I make my first entry, huh? So, hi, everyone. Some of you will probably know me, either from LJ or from that misty, distant land of 'real life'.

For those of you that don't, I'm Jack. I am a writer, professional procrastinator, and unreformed fanboy. I like improbable journeys, colourful worlds and larger-than-life characters. Unsurprisingly, my biggest fandoms are (nearly) all space opera and/or comic books.

I'm most likely going to use this journal for posting memes, fannish crap, hand-wringing about my writing, and so on, and so forth. The only things that will be access-locked will be excerpts or discussion of plot points from unpublished original writing.

If I've subscribed to you, it's because you're interesting and possibly awesome.
