Thanks guys. I really didn't expect it to go through, considering MSU doesn't even have a creative writing program. The proposal felt pretty loose to be "scholarly"... I'm pretty amazed they were convinced.

Basically, Eric is fooling the system into paying him to do something he was going to do anyway. :D

Him being jealous doesn't alter the factual properties of his statement :)

I prefer to think of it as "MSU is promoting their students in what they really want to do" :P

Also, I'm not jealous. I can call myself semipro too. That grocery store job? I'm actually being paid to research my new horror-comedy novel, Ten Items or Death.

See? Easy. :P

Yeah, but you spend effort doing other stuff. I am literally paid for writing.

I think I finally broke the wall on the missing piece to my plot and outline for my book Ashes of Creation. Now, I need to redo alot of my outline to re-incorporate the new plot fixes. Argh! But at least it will make it flow better, plus kinda needed to redo the outline to include a chapter by chapter breakdown.

You are interpreting it far too broadly. You are not being paid to write. You have been awarded an annual stipend to execute on a proposed research/creative project that is supposed to be scholarly.

I'm not knocking that you're doing it. I'm only pointing out that your description of it is disingenuous. When you say you're being "paid to write", you are unintentionally misleading people into thinking you are writing something that has been purchased and will be published, which is not the case.

I would like to announce that a creation of mine has been turned against me.

Alan Wake?  I haven't played it buy I read an article about it today.  That quote popped up a few times.

Umm no.  Silus, you know what I am talking about, I'm sure Ambro appreciates being choked by telekinetic smoke.

What is Alan Wake?

I would like to announce that I am participating in a science/creative writing crossover contest that my school hosts. While the idea of writing something only 2500 words long scares the hell out of me, I'm really excited!

Alan Wake is AMAZING. I usually hate scary games but I loved this one. Basically your an author visiting some small town in I think Washington state. on your first night there your wife goes missing and you wake up one week later and start finding manuscript pages of a horror story that you cant remember writing after a while the story you wrote starts to become a reality and yo have to figure out how to stop it.

if you want real horror games, play either Amnesia: Dark descent or the penumbra series. They're made by the same group, and, Graphically, they're both kinda dated, despite being newish (amnesia came out a few months ago, penumbra maybe 2 years ago). None of this "action-shooter-horror" stuff, you're a weak, puny human against forces beyond your comprehension that will tear you to shreds if they so much as fart at you.

*shaking* um, no. I just watched the trailer for Amnesia and... just no. It reminds me of Theresia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theresia), which I currently am putting off finishing since I need to work up the courage to willingly lock myself in a gas chamber to continue.

I would like to announce that that was the weirdest spambot ever. It didn't even make a random link.
