Iron Dawn update.

Hello everyone!

Kinda an update of what I'm actually planning on doing in the coming weeks. Anyways, what I have planned are a series of small updates here and there into the universe of Iron Dawn. I'll be using quite a few different websites to pull it off, and thankfully I can easily do that with how the internet works (Not to mention, I can easily link everything together.)

Think of it as promotional material into the Iron Dawn universe as well.

So, I guess stay tuned.

Tennis? Oh my.

So, I recently went out to the store. By recently, I mean yesterday (at the time of this blog 11/2/2011), and I went with the intention on actually buying a lampshade. Now, naturally I go to the store and get what I need then immediately head home (after doing the necessary steps of you know...checking out, then heading home.)

As I was staring randomly off into space, something hit me. I wish I could say it was a tennis ball as it would've been epic, but it wasn't. What hit me, was two of my roleplay characters actually play tennis as their sport, and tennis is a sport I actually haven't played myself before. So what do I do? I head down to the sporting section of Wally World, and I buy a tennis racket, some tennis balls, and a glove, because my hand sweats. Thankfully, there are tennis courts near by that the public can use, and I have a couple of friends who are also interested in it.

The next step, I guess, would to be uploading a few pictures of me playing tennis. How joyful is that...

So, the title pretty much stands for "National Novel Writing Month" which takes place annually each year in the month of November. Now, I've known about this since the beginning of 2010, however, I haven't quite participated in it. This year, I'm actually planning on changing that. Pretty much, I'll be entering into the contest with a fresh idea, and a fresh plot line. Generally something you're suppose to do.

I'm still contemplating whether or not to attempt something new (IE: Something absolutely not in the realm of science fiction) or actually bring to light some events that took place in my own little universe of Iron Dawn, which will be another topic for another time.

Introduction -- Cheesy Title

Alright, so this will be my first attempt to actually keep a blog. I really don't know why I'm doing such, but I am.

So as you may know already in the blog description located at the top of your lovely page, you should know that I will try to be keeping this updated with reviews for certain things, plus other random side things that I do. Dunno.

I'll go ahead and start with the about me, and this is copied from my facebook page.

My name is Shadow Riverwind Murphy, I'm part Cherokee Indian, which is where I get my first and middle name from. So, no, my parents weren't hippies! Also, I've recently started using the name "WolfsGhost" back near the end of 2009, partially out of random, and now because I enjoy the username. I don't mind if you call me “Austin” either, as the name tends to stick, just don't expect me to answer right away.

 I'm a huge science fiction fan, while I can't tell you the number of the Enterprise (NCC-1701), I can tell you that if I spy anything remotely Sci-Fi, I will either watch it, or play it. I would have to say that my favorite, by far, Science Fiction show would have to be Battlestar Galactica, immediately followed by Babylon Five, Star Gate, and Doctor Who. Oh, and I almost forgot, I love Dune.

 I've actually been pushing myself into writing, and have even created a role-play server that is somewhat successful. Oddly enough, I actually managed to get accepted into a development team for Equestria Online, a game based off of My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic. An opportunity to further expand my knowledge and writing ability. Yes, I'm a My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic fan.

 In the past year or so, I've actually talked to a famous writer, Kevin J. Anderson, and was exclusively added to one of his groups by Kevin himself. I've yet to meet him in person, but I'm hoping that day actually arrives. While, it isn't exactly a huge deal for most people, I'm actually quite fond of how many people are following me on twitter. Quite a lot of people who either are authors, or have the similar interests as I do, even though I'm not published yet. Another author who added me on Facebook would be Brian K. Henry, while I've yet to read his work, I can probably say that, it's great to have some form of notice.

 Frankly, things are actually starting to look up. Despite my position or status in life. Enough about that.

 I'm laid back, quiet, shy, and nice person if you're on my good side. If you manage to make it to my bad side, I can be quite vocal and hostile, though, I've been recently trying to keep that as low as possible. I'll also say that, if we were going anywhere, you would almost forget that I'm there, generally because of my quiet watching, and listening habit that I picked up in school, which I enjoy. I tend to have a blank expression on my face, if I'm not openly amused, or openly angry so telling my mood is somewhat hard when you first know me, but later on I'll be easy to read.

 Anyways, this is almost two pages on the word document I was writing it in, I'll end it here with. I'm a huge Coldplay, Oasis, Franz Ferdinand, and Gorillaz fan. I also love tea. So...that's would be that.
