4.5 Months of Twitter

I’ve been actively using Twitter for about four and a half months now, and because I love a good graph… I give you this, courtesy of TwitterCounter.com:

You can kinda see where I started to really use it. Neat, eh?

 

Added New Worlds

Aside

I’ve added a page for articles covering the Collapsing World, aka Shattered Grounds to the main menu under “My Worlds”, and filled the Voyagers 2 page with links to the actual articles published.

Plot-a-Day Archive

Aside

I’ve created a Plot-a-Day Archive for easy access to the plot ideas I post now and then.

Reorganized World Building Links

I’ve split up the world building resources page into several sub-pages; the main page just got too big and unwieldy.

If you have any additional links that could be of interest, please let me know – I’d love to hear about sites you find useful, and I will add anything that is of general utility to this collection.

The new sub pages are:

Enjoy!

Installing Intense Debate

Aside

I’m installing Intense Debate. Comments will be wonky for a bit… Thanks for your patience.

Edit: IntenseDebate has been installed. Let’s see if this is a good system, or not…

Site Upgraded

As you can see I’ve updated the Enderra website once more. I’ve integrated it into a new installation of WordPress and cleaned up a little. I personally like the site much better as it is now. There are likely some issues, especially with early posts, where the formatting may be off or images may not be showing. I will fix these old posts as I find them, but drop me a line and I’ll take care of whatever problem you found as soon as possible.

And if anybody has a cool idea for a site header image… I’d appreciate it. ;-)

What I’m up to

I thought I’d give you a little update on current projects and status. The past year or so has been a little hard on me “in the real world” but all that is sorted out now and things are on the up again. On the other hand, it hasn’t left me so much time for world-building: Besides my new real-life job keeping me busy, NaNoWriMo ate up a lot of free time in November. That’s done and over, and with the holidays coming up I should have a good amount of time to write and build.

  • My Wacom tablet needs to be replaced, but I am not yet sure which one to get, and what size. They get expensive really quickly once you go beyond A6. I have some maps to draw!
  • I’ve been consolidating settings. At least two, probably three, and perhaps four of my worlds will be merged – details to follow…
  • I am totally into science fiction right now. This comes from reading everything H. Beam Piper that Gutenberg and Librivox could throw at me, but it is also related to finally playing role-playing games again; in this case we’re up to our ears in the Star Wars Saga Edition. I’m playing a shard in an IG-86 chassis with a severe identity crisis.
  • I’d like to complete short “world books” for what I consider my main worlds. Say something on the order of 48 pages each.
  • With the death of imaginaryworlds.net and the disappearance of Paul of the Shakespeare & Dragon podcast, I’d like to expand enderra.com to include more how-to’s, more discussion, more interactivity. This is more of a long-term goal, we’re definitely talking mid-2010 here. Anybody who’d like to get in on this, drop me a line…

Now using DeviantArt

I am now using DevianArt to host an art gallery / portfolio sort of thing. I will still post images here, but it’s nice to have a community on DeviantArt. It’s also nice to have a simple, art focussed URL that I can give people who are just interested in the art aspect.

My works can be found at http://nilsjeppe.deviantart.com/ – I’d love it if you drop by.
