Revirtualizing

My Virtual Blog

Man, I don’t even know where to begin.

Dankoville went online in September of 2013. It was a complete surprise to me that I could run my own virtual world on my PC. It was great, I was having a ball.

In October, the PC broke. It was in the middle of some very busy and difficult RL times. The laptop, a Mac, was pressed into service. But I couldn’t run Dankoville on it. Or Sim-on-a-Stick. Everything was put on hold. Getting the PC sorted was one of those, “after the holidays” things.

In late January, the new PC arrived. Dankoville was back and virtual life was good.

By April, I realized that I was going to have to figure out some other way to upgrade to OpenSim 0.8 because the system I was using to run 0.7.5, New World Studio, was apparently never going to be updated again.

A Baseball Story

Here’s a link to my entry in the Opening Day Stories Project, sponsored by the Dankoville Story Group.

Up until now, all of my stories of the past five years have appeared under my name. But I was in all of those stories, I’m not in this one. So I thought I’d bow out and let my ghostwriter get some credit for a change. This one is written in his name.

Introducing Earland Brewer

I’ve been creating new characters for some of my stories these past few weeks. Normally this is in the form of a series of notes and some quotes and sometimes a scene with the new character in convo. Once in awhile, just for kicks and to mix it up, I use some other writing trick the first time I write something about them. Today, I let one of the characters introduce himself to me.

And inspired by +Oshi Shikigami‘s recent sharing of her process in making a painting, instead of just filing this character intro with my notes, I decided to share it and publish it on the Dankoville Stories blog…

All Systems Go!

My computer difficulties are over – until the next thing happens! – and I’m ready to get back to whatever the heck I was doing when things suddenly came to a screeching halt. Ready from a tech standpoint, that is. But my mind and heart and soul are not ready. Not yet.

Time for some serious chill.

Gimme a couple days, I’ll be back.
