Let’s All Play Bioware Mad Libs! I thought today we might have a little bit of fun and make a couple of BioWare themed Mad Libs to play with!

PSA: No New Blog Posts This Week, Also Readers Needed – Apply Within! #AmWriting #TIAL 

Packy - Head Llama

PSA: No New Blog Posts This Week… Except This One! I have been taking this week to focus on my writing, which is actually one of the major goals of starting this blog up in the first place. As such, I will not have much time to dedicate to new blog entries for this week. Instead, I have been editing a novel that I have been writing for a while now, in the run up to completing the handful of chapters that I have left to type. The problem that…

Gun Frontier #VideoGame #FreshIdea #ThoughtExperiment @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN

Packy - Head Llama

A while back I wrote a mock up for a video game that i wanted to create. I did this as more of a thought experiment, and as such had a lot of fun with it. I lack the skill to make such a game, but perhaps one day I will turn it into a novel or a screenplay. Hey, maybe Hideo Kojima is still trying to figure out what his next big game should be, if so I would be glad to sell this concept to him and serve…

Diabetic Dracula – Was it a Gerbil or a Hamster? #DiabeticDracula

Packy - Head Llama

*** Author’s note: if you have not witnessed the birth of the new legend, then I highly suggest that you read the woeful first tale of Diabetic Dracula!  If you elect to skip the origin story, well then the count respectfully invites you to “vuck off!” Choose wisely reader. ***   Diabetic Dracula: Was it a Gerbil or a Hamster?By: PackyIt was an obnoxiously warm night in the Casa de Dracula, or at least the Master thought it was. A single bead of sweat slowly swam its way down the…

The Birth of Diabetic Dracula #AmWriting #DiabeticDracula

Packy - Head Llama

Think of today’s original fiction piece as a tacky movie pitch for Adam Sandler’s next direct to Netflix movie or perhaps even TV series. It’s absurdly silly, it requires an extreme amount of linguistic overacting, and it’s a straight up comedy – all perfect for Sandler. Also, it would be a hard “R” rated horror-comedy, which would diversify his movie portfolio nicely. So if you are reading this, Mr. Sandler (or anybody else with wads of disposable funds that you would like to throw at me), and you like it:…

The Catalogers of Time: The Library of Alexandria

Packy - Head Llama

The Catalogers of Time Series started with the incident at Fort Phantom Hill and then continued with the fiery demise of Polonus Vorstius. Today we find the Smithsonian’s Historical Discovery Unit in a state of flux. Inter-personal strife and technical set backs have put the future of this costly operation in jeopardy. They need to prove that the exorbitant cost of their division will bear valuable fruit for the Smithsonian Institute. The Library of Alexandria “More coffee!” Mr. Simon hollered across the lab to an intern as he used a microfiber cloth…

The Day After the Party #ShortScript #OriginalFiction

Packy - Head Llama

Back around 2006, my friend Bobby and I were heavily into the idea of being the next generation of filmmakers. We thought we would be Rodriguez and Tarantino 2.0. Flash forward to 10 years later and we both still have our dreams and ambitions, we both just go after them in different ways now. But back then, we tried to do a lot of things together from writing, to filming and going to the movies (for research of course!). We liked to write scripts, whether short or long, and then trade…

100 Word Challenge: Lose a Vowel #ewe 

Packy - Head Llama

So, I have been challenged with writing a brief note that is missing a vowel of my choosing. It was hard to choose, however I landed on the vowel ewe. I am speaking phonetically, to be clear, as I do not mean to talk at length with regard to an “of age” female sheep. I’m likely capable and mentally able to keep on prattling on, dealing with this whole sheep shenanigan, yet I believe that this time will be better served speaking on other matters directly related to the lack…

20 Miles to Texas #OriginalFiction #Script #Snippet

Packy - Head Llama

*** Brief introduction from the author – I have been, in some capacity working on this screenplay for quite a while. “20 Miles to Texas” is a horror script concept that deals directly with irrational fear and how each individual reacts differently to the idea of fear, which ultimately allows it to manifest in a way that is tailored specifically to the person experiencing it. The idea was to write a script that jettisoned the 90’s tradition of a slasher story that involved a cast of around 6 obnoxious teens where…

Postwritum is a Serious Condition and is Very Real #Postwritum #NaNoWriMo

Packy - Head Llama

Postwritum The birth of a novel can trigger a jumble of powerful emotions, from excitement and joy to fear and anxiety. But it can also result in something you might not expect — depression. Many NaNoWriMo writers experience the “postwritum novel blues” after completing their first 50,000 words in just 30 days, which commonly include mood swings, crying spells, anxiety and difficulty sleeping. Novel blues typically begin within the first two to three days after winning NaNoWriMo, and may last for up to two weeks. But some NaNoWriMo writers experience a more severe, long-lasting form of…
