Darth Ender Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 At the day job: two raises and a promotion this year. At the part-time not-exactly-paying fun-time hobby-job: going on 4½ years now, 1400 entries and counting, still getting just enough virtual hamster pellets to feed my self-esteem and keep doing what I'm doing while devaluing the writing market for all those internet users who dream of making a living at it. Having an entry go kindasorta mini-viral last spring among a particular fan base was pretty gratifying, even though it was for deeply irritated reasons. Meanwhile, my son is now in his senior year of college and I am older than ever.Keep it up. I think I have read close to 1,000 of those entries. I wish you had a random article function on the webpage. My son just turned one month. I know that this is totally 0% my doing, but he is quite the content and curious little boy. He cries, but once he gets what he wants (which right now is only to be fed) he immediately calms down. He was laying on my chest today and we both ripped ass at the same. It was magical. Me, my mom, and son. He has his own crack security detail that are stationed outside of his room 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Jade Skywalker Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 It's National Novel Writing Month. My goal is to write 2500 words per day and finish the month with a completed draft of what I'm calling Lady James Bond in Space. Ended Day 1 with 2620 and I don't think it's all terrible!

Iceheart Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Mr. Fat just got an ongoing modelling gig with the magazine I work for, after his picture went viral on our social media last night. He's getting paid in food, SWEATPANTS, and catnip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copper Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Not technically self promotion, but this is a game that my fiance made that turned him insta-indie-game famous. It's pretty wild, and people who used to play old school computer games will probably super love it: http://twinbeard.com/frog-fractions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumberSix Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Keep it up. I think I have read close to 1,000 of those entries. I wish you had a random article function on the webpage.I installed that very thing earlier this year. It's one of the widgets in the sidebar on the right, an image some Nightly folks might recall, containing a link like so: https://midlifecrisiscrossover.com/?random My son just turned one month.

Darth Krawlie Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I am definitely getting a promotion and a raise (separate from the annual performance based raise), most likely by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 So, may be the geekiest thing I've done yet, but I recently created a card game. If you're into board games, you might have heard of Dominion, or other deck building games. Its based on that, only designed to be picked up and played by a more mainstream audience. The theme is that you're trying to build a bar, and have the most "Customer Points" at the end of the game. Starting to look for publishers seeking submissions now. I've had it play tested quite a bit, and I think that I'm ready to actually start submitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 You creative and intelligent and capable and driven people astound me. I'm impressed with myself if I can go a whole day without spilling my water on myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I can actually get people to pay me to write movies, but I still can't balance a checkbook, pay my bills on time, or even remotely understand how to do my taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerina Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Brando, you're doing so much more awesome stuff not working for soul-sucking insurance companies. I have nearly completed scheduling out an entire semester's worth of lesson plans for Noah. This time we're using actual pre-written curricula so you'd think it'd be easier, but no. Nope. Not at all. We're covering subjects in damn near every level from 1st to 6th grade~ish. So yay me! And this is my life now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm impressed with myself if I can go a whole day without spilling my water on myself.I don't know that I fit that description but I finally have time to do the things I want to do. And to balance it, I walked around with baby poop on my hand for like thirty minutes yesterday. I want to revisit the script I wrote a few years ago, and I started designing a game that is an adult version of Clue, more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thanks! That really means a lot. One of my proudest accomplishments was completing it and getting it registered with the WGA. And having a real screenwriting tell me it was good beats all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
