About The Dawn of Sylvan Hold
I started playing Utopia in the Second Age, early 1999. The Third Age, however, was my first full Age playing the game. In my first experience with Utopia I had selected dwarf for race, and named my province Mithrils Hold (no punctuation, since Utopia doesn’t allow for punctuation in names). By the...

About Utopia stories
Utopia is one of the oldest browser-based multiplayer games, coming online in January 1999. In its heyday it could claim to be “massively” multiplayer, drawing over 100,000 players (more or less, depending on who you ask).

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
I just finished reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold last Friday. The weekend earlier my sis had recommended it to me, after telling me about the upcoming film adaptation.

A Crazy World
I don't see them. I've been waiting here at least half an hour. Been preparing at least two hours.Maybe I'm just not good at this. Haven't really had too much practice. Father was a boozer; used to hit Mom. He finally left; she couldn't take care of us. Got put into foster care. Foster parents were...

Time to start sharing the first stories
Over a decade ago, I joined in the masses in creating a personal webpage at GeoCities, a free webhosting site that had just popped up on the scene of the still-new World Wide Web. I didn’t know why I did it, except that it was a popular thing to do. In those early days, GeoCities was organized into...

An Introduction to Self-RW
If you want to write, you must read. And that’s not just an axiom of life, referring to basic reading and writing skills. Anyone who aspires to be a writer, must first be a reader. Now, I wouldn’t call myself a “writer” (I hardly put enough effort into it), but I do enjoy writing. More...
