Welcome Tim is Bored.

This blog is intended to be a sort of online writing notebook. You'll likely find things written about writing, as well as random scribbled ideas, notes to myself about things I might like to write, writing exercises, etc. Basically, anything short of actual drafts (for legal reasons. Although, if you'd like to read one and give me feedback, that can be arranged.).

Everything on here is in rough form, and views stated on this blog are the views of the characters involved, and not necessarily my own.

    We begin in a reasonably high magic world. Something along the level of Monkey, where there is a world filled with gods and spirits and saying the appropriate rights will work, regardless of what god or gods the individual in question is dedicating that sacrifice to.The society is still fairly scat . . .

    Comic, superhero based. The superhero in question has a problem: the use of his power is paid for by way of his waking up in a pool of blood that isn't his, in a room full of corpses. He never knows how he got there or what he's doing there, so he can mostly write it off as thinking that it wasn't r . . . ()
