Cathy's Writing
Welcome to my writing page. Here you'll
find some pieces I've written for the Internet and updates on current
projects.
NOTE: SUBPAGES ARE STILL IN THE OLD TEMPLATE
- I HOPE TO CORRECT THIS ASAP
Current Project(s)
I'm doing a lot of writing for school, but none of it is creative...
lots of papers. (For my own amusement, I may tally up the total
number of pages at the end of the semester.) I wasn't fast enough
and/or
my karma wasn't good enough to get the creative
writing class I wanted; I've heard that it always fills up fast...
Things I Have
Written
Awards & Publication
Fiction
A lot of the writing that I'm happiest with has been
for online story-format roleplaying games. My
characters and their greatest life moments are listed here.
A Legacy of
Embers - fantasy flash fiction, 2002.
The Unicorn -
this was originally the start of a NaNoWriMo novel. The unicorn
was completely insane by the end of
it... I've never gone back to edit it.
Journalism
101 - fantasy/humor short story, either
2002 or 2003... the more I look back at this, the more I think
it has something to do with the way I feel about cows. (PETA,
please don't flame me!)
Ranting/Babbling/Who Knows?
(Written for the web)
May 2003 - Woodworks, Elfwood's ezine, (http://www.woodworksezine.com/)
published my essay on women
in art ("Fantasy's Buxom Babes," started at GHP in
2002 and revised this month) as a feature article. :) There
is a lot that I could add to this now that I've had classes covering
both costume design history and art history...
American Idol rant.
Of course you must read this. Then you call a toll-free number and
vote for your favorite paragraph. Each episode, the paragraph with
the fewest votes will be edited out.
June 2003 - Eulogy
for Unusual Pets. Poem-prose. Differs in tone from
everything else here. Written one year after my pet iguana's
death.
December 2002 - The
Peeved Pedant on Punctuation - "Punctuation is not
decoration to slap on words whenever the fancy strikes you." Grrrr!
:D
A review of Left Behind,
the popular Christian novel, from the point of view of a dissenting
Christian.
Computer Games
November 2003 - Everything
that I know about how to make the a-life game Babyz run
under Windows XP. I spent a couple of hours or more
helping Sharon with this and I thought that I'd add my findings
to the collective knowledge of the Internet.
My writing related to the computer game Petz can
be found in the writing section
at Magnoliapetz.com.
