Shitan's Journal 1 - Descent into Hell
The descent to Hell is easy and light. I am an easily influenced man. Every reason sounds reasonable to those without reason. It is for this reason I believe wars are not created in the houses of the common people, but in the universities at the desks of philosophers. After all, generals must get their own philosophy from somewhere, and generals are usually trained at fine colleges.
Furthermore, those who seek power should never be allowed to hold power, even though they are invariably practically the only ones who attain it.

NIL 1 - Concise Writing. What is it?
Concise Writing. What is it?
People who have read many of my critiques will know what I'm about to say. I define concise writing as when the writer says as much as possible in the fewest possible words. Some people think this is a little vague. I think it must be vague. Only the writer of a story truly knows what can be said when. Editors can only make assumptions.
The actual definition of concise isn't much different from mine: marked by the use of few words to convey much information or meaning.
I believe it is key to take note of "possible" in my definition. This is where I have gotten into debates with some writers. I am not saying a w

Sorry, but there's not going to be a new NIL today. I have finals. I've been studying nonstop, and I really do mean nonstop, for the past four days.
There's no time for a NIL.
Sorry. D:
Hey, lookie at this. A new NIL. I've been missing a lot of these recently. Ah, well. Relatives.
I have an exam later this week. Then finals. After that, I will collapse for a week and do nothing.
In other news, the new movie "Safe" with Jason Statham is HILARIOUS. I really enjoyed it. Not only was it action packed to the point of a never ending bloodbath (a well choreographed and executed bloodbath, mind you) it was also funny in a deliciously dry, sarcastic kind of way. I recommend it. It's worth a theater ticket in my opinion.
I liked how no matter what condition he starts a movie in, by the end of it, Jason Statham is wearing a nice sui
Consider yourself blessed for having a NIL today, because my computer died a few days ago again. I went to restart it after finishing a painting in Photoshop and it wouldn't. I lost several hours of work, even though I had saved it, because we couldn't get anything off the harddrive. Thankfully, I had every other little thing backed up on an external harddrive, but still.
I had finally finished it. I am so irritated. Now I have to repaint over ten lotus and the stupid guy's cloak, as well as the entire background. GAHAIGSGNDIFGDFLGNLSDF.
Anyway, here's a NIL. You won't have one next week. Good day. *stomps off*

I kinda had a moment of 'now that's an awesome critique'. I can critique, but my thoughts aren't focused, and when I'm done I'm left with the hope that they'll understand what I'm getting at and that I haven't jumped around too much or tried to mention too many things
I've never been great at explaining technical things.
