SharedWorlds- Noah Reveley-Hunt

Back to the land of nod.....

    Well camp is over and I'm sitting in my house in Center Sandwich NH (yes I live in a town called Sandwich, ha ha) reminiscing about all the fun I had. There was seeing all my old friends, writing, laughing about the mating habits of Giant Squid, waking up at terrible times in the morning, and of course the flash rave. When you're around nerds for an extended period of time, the good times fly. There is no other place I'd rather be. So to try to keep some semblance of continuation I started another Shared Worlds wiki so all of us Shared Worlds geeks have a place to play. I plan to start writing soon, just as soon as i finish all these stupid AP English reading list books. Blaugh!!! I had a great time and nothing can stop me (aside from the police) from coming back next year.

An interesting day.

Firstly i just finished my short story, WOOT WOOT!!! We've all been working crazy hard to pump out our short stories for tomorrows deadline. We had a couple of lectures with Tobias Buckell and Will (I'm not going to be able to spell his last name right) Heinmarch. We also had excellent readings by Jeff VanderMeer,Tobias and Will. On a slightly stranger note, during creative writing time we found several baby hawks (we think) in the Pavillion. This is a short entry mainly because my mello Yello high is wearing off. Off to sleep for me, and hopefully this won't double post, i don't know how to get rid of that.

The week goes on.

I didn't post yesterday because I was too busy playing the best game of World of Darkness (a table top LPG). It was amazing, we were trapped in a barn and then attacked by weird vampire scarecrows. It was amazing. I've been working on my short story, as have the others. Mine is set near the all magic city of Vintages and it involves two kids who stumble on a way to raise the dead. I like it so far but there is a lot of editing to be done. I have to say that i'm really not looking forward to leaving, this camp is the best time of my life. I seriously suggest that anyone who likes to write, think, and work with other people should come here.

Yesterday and earlier today we met with Author Tobias Buckell. He gave a talk about plot and character development that so far i have found very useful in my writing. I will pass a piece of his wisdom on to you, for, as Mark Twain says 'good advice is of little use to ones self and is better given to others'. That piece of advice is that, instead of using the word 'was' try to find away to describe the action, this makes the writing more interesting.

Till tomorrow.

Yeah, so I'm a little late, but I'm here.

I missed a lot of blogging time because my computer has been out of commision. So about Sharred Worlds, what's there to say. Awesome, fantastical, fantabulous and stupendous all come to mind. Like last night we had a talent show and i was responsible for the most amazing flash rave I have ever participated in. That was only last night though, the camp was not all about last night. For the past week we have been creating worlds. We have three worlds so far, Doxis'Olum (the world i'm in), Doegum, and Quatteran. Our world, Doxis'Olum, is a combination of steampunk technology and magic. As far as day to day existence we mostly have creative group time in which we create and write. On weekends we hang out, we went to Barnes and Nobles yesterday and we all got a lot of good books. Tomorrow is the week when we start actually creating charactors and stories. Off to go play trivia.
