MoonlightBomber has just agreed to partner up with me as writer/artist. We're a team now. I think Hime and Sake-bento have just teamed up as well.

I could do some writing. Me being a writer isn't unusual in itself, but my genres have been mostly restricted to romance. I'd like to try something outside of that, and I could also do some coding and the like for the project.

Currently, I'm considering the genres of horror, mystery or action, but I'm up for suggestions on what I could do.

As a note for possible collaborators, I prefer rather close collaboration to make things click together in the project. It'd be great if we could use IRC or so to brainstorm and exchange ideas/feedback.

Seeing as you have volunteered as an artist, would you be interested in doing some out-of-ordinary and unromantic art, sake-bento?

Today I worked on my game the whole day and so now my neck hurts from constantly looking down and checking my notes with what's on screen.

It's an interesting dilemma - I prefer having notes on paper and then having that paper reference to work on something on the computer. I could of course make all my notes digital and try to use the computer to multitask between them, but my paper notes are much easier to make and (despite the fact they are not searchable or sortable) I find things quicker in them. I think for notes and do-not-forgets and things like that paper is the better option because even though digitized notes and to-dos or even comments in some instances are theoretically easier accessible, they cost a lot of energy to put into the proper format that makes use of sorting or searching, and the most important thing - my paper notes which are loose papers of the same size I can spread out on the floor and have a great overview of everything - digitized notes can only work with a single screen, and no matter how the resolution or how great the application switches between the notes, it only has a physically limited size of my 15 inch computer screen.

Anyway, so I am sticking to paper when it comes to notes - but after a long day, it really hurts. And laugh all you want - I even took breaks and exercised to avoid this. But I guess it's not possible to prevent a bit of pain when you look up and down pretty much all day. Luckily this is accumulated work, so I probably won't have to do this kind of note inserting / comparisons for a while. Still, ergonomics are important for long stints of work. I remember when I was 15 I would write for hours sitting beside my bed (using the bed as a table). Now I could barely last 10 minutes in that unnatural position.

Well, maybe it's time to rearrange my desk. It seems too much clutter is taking up space where my arms could rest. I'll probably also raise the desk surface slightly and see how that works.

I wanna try being the music composer for this one. Who wants to pair up as a writer/artist?

Well, here goes nothing. Looking for a "usually not a writer" who I haven't worked with before who is also willing to deal with my pen sketches.
