It was my seventh grade school year. Like most children my age, I hated school. I went to a particularly terrible one at that, so anything closing in on intellectual stimulation was sparse. The lack of quality in late nineties Los Angeles public schools is another topic though. Needless to say, I tossed aside all thoughts of school the moment I walked through my door and tossed my backpack aside.

No movement was made by our party as this ghostly figure floated seamlessly across the treeline. The noise of the nature surrounding us seemed to take on a dull hum in the back of my mind as attention focused directly at thi ]]>
I also decided this would be a good chance to have some practice at writing from a first person perspective. As you can assess, I definitely need some work. Going out of my comfort zone really reminds me how much work I am going to need in a lot of areas.

I actually wrote this out last night on actual paper (GASP) with an actual pencil (FAINT). You could get a touch of the first page of that initial draft right here if you like.

Excuse me. I probably can't tell you why you are here. I can tell you why I am here though. Well not here on Earth, or in this universe, or anything, you know, important. But if you came to a random journal on DeviantArt to discover the meaning of life, I swear, you have to be the dumbest-

Even that first sentence. Quite a chunk of thought went into that short sentence (and that was all you could muster? Wow). To the point, I've gone through an interesting change recently. I have become one of those people who calls themselves a 'writer'. Surprisingly, I have also inherited all the snark (douchebaggery) and pomp (big-headedness) that are attributed to the title. Not to mention I have no money. Looks like I got this writing business down quite well.

Basically though, I was thinking about writing as a form of art. A thought nothing good can come from, at least not from a 20-something loser. ]]> http://genoboost.deviantart.com/art/Galactic-Hero-163627060 http://genoboost.deviantart.com/art/Galactic-Hero-163627060 Mon, 10 May 2010 15:08:18 PDT Galactic Hero nonadult digitalart/pixelart/scenes/iso genoboost http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/e/genoboost.gif?1 Copyright 2010-2013 ~genoboost
I'll link to the article once it is up, which will hopefully be soon!

The colors are purposefully bland since I wanted to aim for an NES style look for the game. Although game wise I don't even know what the objective of this particular scene is. I imagine it is like a puzzle game with different random objectives each round.

This round probably has you running around the room hitting the right buttons and talking to the right people so that the space shuttle launches smoothly. I think it will all make more sense when the article is up though. ]]>
