Writer’s Block Begets Linkage
Even the best of us face the what is essentially the worst enemy of people in writing based professions; writers block. Scott Ramsoomair, in his latest comic over at VG Cats, sums it up pretty succinctly.
It’s been a long running gag amongst fans of this web comic that though the site title says Updated Mondays, it rarely follows such a strict posting schedule. Now Scott has his own reasons for this, and some of those include cases of writers block. Since I’m experiencing the same thing right now, I figured I’d take a queue from Scott and look for inspiration elsewhere, amongst the blogs of people who actually managed to recently produce real content.
Our first stop is as star studded as it gets, with a look at Leo Chiang’s blog. Though mostly noticed for his background role on Battlestar Galactica, his resume does seem to be getting bigger. Well the man with the tattoos finally managed to sit down and relax after a hectic shooting schedule. He reviews the latest Starship Troopers direct to DVD release, and has a couple favourable things to say about it. That’s good, cause the last one was just terrible.
From star studded to those hoping to be studs and stars, we take a look at what’s going on with Stephen Fung. Aparently with a lack of anything to do, he decided to start slinging around some pig iron in the hopes of being sparta-ized. I can’t really make fun of him, because even though I could probably bench press him, I doubt I could pull off what he pulled off. Must be the power of the Asian Squat, which my white ass is entirely to top heavy to do.
Finally we turn to Michael Kwan, who is flexing a muscle of a different kind (his fingers…for typing…you sick buggers) while he is staying here in the great white north of Alberta. His latest post goes on about grammar, and more importantly the proper application of the colon and semicolon. I know of a few people that should read this post before being allowed to write anything else on the internet, but I guess I shouldn’t be casting stones whilst residing in a glass house.
Hopefully I will have some more stuff to post up here soon, and maybe I’ll even manage to finish some of the reviews that I have for Futurelooks. Either way, it’s going to be an interesting month.
