Scene #1: Last Night

Posted in Features, Fiction, Playwriting, Writing with tags , , , , , on September 18, 2008 by shay88

Welcome, welcome, welcome to a new Feature here at A Twitchy Mind! Surprised? Well, I suppose I can’t blame you. Nevertheless, here we are. Lately yours truly has been doing some playwriting work, and as a part of that has been writing up several short scenes featuring characters, sets, and plots of all sorts. Needing something to actually POST from time to time, I figure I’d inflict these little scenes upon you, for your reading pleasure or displeasure.

First up is ‘Last Night’, a short two-and-a-bit pager. Despite the fact that drinking makes you forget the events of the night before, beware of those with better memories or restraint than yourselves . . .

Webcomic Spotlight #1: Sinfest

Posted in Features, webcomics with tags , , , on May 2, 2008 by shay88

The internet has caused a boom in the self-publication of creative works, and the same goes for comics. So, roughly every other Friday here at the Mind I’m going to shine the spotlight on a webcomic that I believe stands out from among the (rather large) crowd. First up on the plate is Sinfest by Tatsuya Ishida, available at http://www.sinfest.net/
