The Hall of Mesonenth: Meeting

There were six council members; four of them in their forties and fifties. Erykah was the only member in her early twenties. They sat down at the round table in the room with the stain glass windows.

Screen Recording Won’t Record Certain Games (iOS 11) and Other Stupid Apple Things

No new story again but I’m writing this post as a partial story and partial journalist post. A true story. When I tested the very first developer beta of iOS 11 I was astounded by screen recording. I could record for a long time—even a game! It was great but I downgraded the beta because … Continue reading Screen Recording Won’t Record Certain Games (iOS 11) and Other Stupid Apple Things

Dear Apple: Bring Back Game Center for iOS Gaming

I have another Dear apple post. Don’t worry I’ll post more short stories soon. Today’s post is about Game Center!! Everyone says the iPad Pro is more powerful than the Nintendo Switch (aside from cooling).

Monster Girl (National Flash Fiction Day 2017)

“State your name for the press, please.” “Y-Yumi…” “What?” “Yumi.” “I can’t hear ya, hon.” “Yumi Joyce–I mean–Yumi Takahashi.” The lady glanced from her screen. She had to do a double take! This girl….SHES A MONSTER! Six arms, three glowing eyes on the sides of her face and her entire body was covered in black … Continue reading Monster Girl (National Flash Fiction Day 2017)

Write for Yourself but also…For Your Audience?!?

I remembered this Tumblr post that said “writing for yourself is bad advice and we write so others enjoy what we create” or something like that. I actually think both are true. In my journey of writing I realized something. The saying “write for yourself” is true BUT you must also write for others to … Continue reading Write for Yourself but also…For Your Audience?!?

How hard is it to create After Effects, Paint Tool SAI/CSP and MMD alternatives for iOS? My Plea to Developers.

Prepare yourself for another post about why I think MMD and After Effects alternatives are possible on the iPad Pro. I know we won’t get the actual apps themselves anytime soon but I think we can get alternatives that might be even better. These alternatives are touch based; made for the iPad and Apple Pencil. … Continue reading How hard is it to create After Effects, Paint Tool SAI/CSP and MMD alternatives for iOS?
