ChaCha's Guide to Monster Slaying

I don't use ChaCha much anymore because I have a smartphone, but it was useful (about 40% of the time) when I just had your standard Nokia brick to have quick answers to questions through texting. I compiled this list a couple of years ago after asking ChaCha how to kill certain beasts. The results, and helpfulness, of the responses varied, but here it is published for the first time.

Pretzel Lectern Essays, vol. 1

About six months ago, I designed and laid out this book for my print design course in college. I was going to get it printed professionally, but I got lazy and never got around to it. So instead, when my wife got some free Shutterfly book codes, I made it using their website. Worst. Site. Ever. I understand they're meant to make photo books and not text-based books like I wanted, but some of their features (or lack thereof) were inexcusable—no text styles, no automated page numbers . . . oh well.

Letter to Past Self

I did this just for the fun of it, but it made an interesting writing prompt. What would you write if you could send a one-page letter back in time to when you were eight? For mine, I made sure not to be too specific and ruin future events for me. I tried to stay vague on the details while still giving useful advice. I even made it unclear how many future siblings I would have. Anyway, I think a letter like this can say a lot about your personality, as well as your current situation and the events of your life in between.

Comic: Fatherhood

In honor of Father's Day, I present to you a comic. 

***
I personally believe that God is literally our father, and such a knowledge can help us trust in Him even though He may not make sense sometimes. It can also give us insight on how to be good parents ourselves—God is neither too lenient nor too strict for us. His only interest is in teaching us the correct way, letting us choose for ourselves, and honoring our choice with relevant consequences.

WarCraft III Map Movie #7: The Odyssey

I really wish I could be posting more varied projects. I'm working fairly consistently on Knight Guy, but I'm hoping another project will come up to work on soon.
Anyway, I made this particular map movie for a school project in my junior high Mythology class. I'm really embarrassed at how awful and lazy I was on the scenery, but of course the whole class was amazed at how I did it and stuff. Good times.
