Alan Wake: First Chapter

Sometimes even writer's need a break, and why not take a break by playing a video game about a writer!?!?! O.o



This game is fun, freaky, and perfect for getting me back into the writers spirit! Enjoy and as always, thank you for watching.

Writing is a Creative Process

All I can do is wait within the dark recesses of my brain hidden behind nothing more than clouds of thought. Waiting patiently for inspiration to spark, yet nothing happens. Still, the cloud continues to simmer a darkening color with small flashes of light from the working neurons. 

If I wait long enough, something may happen. If I go do something else, something may happen and I'll lose the thought forever. But, I can't just sit and wait for the clock to tick by the minutes. Time is wasted and it's so precious. Then it occurs to me that if I continue to wait for the right thing to write, nothing may ever come. It's not a luck of the draw, or some mystical thunderbolt, it's through the discovery of just sitting down and writing when inspiration will take form. Maybe it will start small like a sapling waiting to be nurtured. When you nurture your ideas they will grow into a wonderful tree filled with words of meaning. 

That's how I approach writing and everyday I am learning new ways to work my stories, to create characters, and to paint the worlds with colorful or dreary words. I work the paint brush in my mind and play with the paint until the words sound right. A scene is created and soon a chapter and I continue the process until the final last word is painted. The end, but it's never really the end of creation. Creation will go on as new stories start to spill over from previous ones. Now I can't wait to write them, but one story at a time. 

This is my creation process. Like everything, it takes work, but it's a work that I have a passion for. A work that I long to master. And in the life time that was given to me, I'll do my very best!

Yours truly,
Gummy.

Camp National Novel Writing Month July 2014

So, this is the first time that I have participated in a camp version of NaNoWriMo and the novel I chose to write is kind of out of my comfort zone! With a 50,000 word goal in mind I am tentatively writing a Science Fiction or possibly a Thriller/Suspense novel (I'm still unsure of the genre). But, I am a person who loves a good challenge. Let's hope I can make my word goal in time!

Synopsis:

"The Adept" is about a Mainframe computer that was created by humans to help better society. To create a better security system, better computer networks, and a better energy system. However, over the course of a century, this Mainframe begins to gain consciousnesses and its artificial intelligence continues to expand with knowledge about our world and how we live. Not liking the idea of being run by a destructive being, the Mainframe takes action and begins to destroy the systems we have come to rely on. Virtual Reality plays a key role in this story as the Mainframe captures individuals and selects only a few for scientific reasons such as creating an ultimate being to destroy the rest of humanity. Faye is one individual who was originally a professional video gamer who played exceptionally in the virtual environment. Her stats are impressive to the Mainframe and it selects her to become the ultimate being. She undergoes a series of tests and her memories are either "erased" or compressed. After about ten years, she is completely converted and she has gained certain powers controlled by the Mainframe.

The story also follows Faye's husbands point of view as he manages to escape the falling city of Mont Royale. Ren is determined to rescue his wife but slowly loses hope that she is still alive after ten years of captivity. It's not until he joins a military faction and goes on missions that he realizes some hope for her. 

Eventually, Faye, now known as Emrys, and Ren cross paths. She bears no recollection of him and is indifferent to human emotion. Their first encounter will be when she seemingly escapes the captivity of the Mainframe, however, her goal is to destroy Ren's colony. As Ren brings Faye back to the colony he soon realizes his mistake and a battle ensues to bring her down.

Narrowly escaping Emrys' wrath, Ren still clings to the hope that Faye is still alive and seeks out the help from a scientist who "helped" her escape. Doctor Kingston does come up with a way to free her but it involves going deep into the Mainframe. With limited people left, Ren and his crew prepare for a last stand and push forward to the Mainframe.

The doctor must get close enough to the Mainframe system core but it will not make it easy. The Mainframe, dwells deep beneath the surface of the city with many levels of security and robotics of every kind on the lookout. Eventually, Ren and the doctor manage to get to the Mainframe and Emrys is waiting for them. They find out that her mind is merging with the Mainframe and a great battle ensues. She is quick, highly skilled, and agile. As the doctor works on disabling the system Ren distracts Emrys. 

After a grueling battle, Ren manages to see Faye breaking loose from the captivity in her mind. The Mainframe is weakening as Faye starts to come to herself. However, she can not fully recover, but the doctor's plan does work and the Mainframe fails. The bond between the Mainframe and Faye begins to deteriorate as Ren gets closer to her and the core system falls apart. 

As everything is falling around them, Ren screams out to the doctor to escape, Faye has fallen unconscious and Ren refuses to leave her. The doctor begins to run but it's too late. The building comes crashing down on them. After everything settles, we see the doctor open his eyes at the debris. He makes his way to Ren and Faye, where Ren used his body to protect her from the debris. They appear to be dead and then they both open their eyes.

In the end, everything seemingly reverts back to normal with the human race rebuilding society. Ren and Faye are together again, and the Doctor uses his knowledge to teach the next generation. In an short epilogue, we see Faye's eyes change slightly as she becomes Emrys again and we realize that the Mainframe still exists in her. "Like every living thing, we cling to survival."

So, that's about it! Hopefully, I can continue to write the story and it turns out better than I expected. In a month, who knows what will happen. 

The End of Holidays...

It's the weekend!!! And soon my holidays will be over...

No one really longs for the day when their holidays end, I surely don't, but it's going to happen whether we like it or not. So, here's the scoop of past events.

Mini Squeak

Holidays are a time to relax and do what you wanted to do that you never had the time for. This two week holiday, my sweet and I, bought a car (it's a pretty BMW 330ci msport II in red!!), played GTA V until we passed out (we had fun playing with fireworks with the new Independence Day update), traveled back to my hometown for some family time (it was a mini Squeak adventure!), and spoiled ourselves with a few good restaurants. It was a good holiday!

GTA Independence Update

Trevor is "Special"

I won't go into too much detail, I mostly did a lot of Rooftop Rumble runs because I am too poor to afford to buy the big stuff. However, some worthy things of mention would be the MONSTER TRUCK (ZOMG), fireworks and a firework grenade launcher, an interesting selection of patriotic clothes and masks, and a few new cars.

Oh, and I almost forgot! The rides from the single player became active online...I wonder if they'll stay that way or will they go back to normal after the event....sigh, they were so fun.

Yup yup, that's about all that I did over the past couple of weeks, I wish I had taken more pictures of my gameplay...oh well, next time! That's it, that's all at least for now! Enjoy the rest of your weekend fellow gamers, readers, and writers!
