NaNoWriMo & Other Musings...

Sat Nov 21, 2009, 6:00 PM
  • Mood: Zeal
  • Listening to: Clutch - Big Fat Pig
  • Reading: His Own Stupid Typing
  • Watching: Falling Down
  • Playing: Borderlands
Ahhh... halfway point. For the half-dozen of you that might've been wondering where I've been the last couple of weeks, I've been doing this NaNoWriMo thingie... something about 50K words in one month. So far I've only been able to do this during the weekends, but as of right now, I've just passed the halfway point, meaning I have to write another 25k words in about... *counts days he can work* 5 days. Yeah. We're gonna kill this beast. I'm a little concerned though... as this thing is gonna be... HUGE. The prologue itself turned out to be the first 20K words. The prologue. I've only begun to hit the actual story... How long are prologues supposed to be anyway?

Oh yeah, I'll probably be posting chunks of it on dA eventually. It's fantasy, if you've read the Myriad Path, you know what to expect... just that I don't have to pussyfoot around in fear of offending anyone anymore.

Next musing, on note with Myriad Path and other community get-togethers. I'm heavily considering hosting a Secret Santa dealie, maybe something on Zelda or OC based, perhaps Myriad Path, but I want people who haven't participated yet to be able to join up in they're interested.

Next, if you aren't listening to Wolfmother's newest album, Cosmic Egg, you are doing yourself a great disservice. Get it, play New Moon Rising in your car with the bass cranked up - GOOSEBUMPS.

Oh yeah, super-duper special note: I've heard some of the people on the watch list have been actively trolling other people on dA. While I understand the temptation is great and it sounds like the person that was trolled probably deserved it, fact is the people is question know better. You are people that other people look up to, and further you have a responsibility, online or not, to keep up a sense of dignity otherwise, you're dragging everyone else in the mud. Now, this happened a week or two ago, so I'm not going into any other details about it since its old news, but I will say this: If I see anyone else I know acting in such a way, I will see you banned. Fucking grow up, you're better than that shit.

Okay then kiddies! Build your ships and sail across the sea of flames.

Keep golden.

Not much to tell, really. I am a child of the road, having lived in a multitude of places around the lower 48. Due to this, I have never really grasped the comforts of knowing a hometown outside of a decent duffel bag. Due to this, my "art" - which in and of itself is a subjective term, really - is primarily self-taught, so my humblest apologies for it being a bit rough around the edges.

Perhaps one day I will be settled down, have a nice cushy job as an illustrator or an author as my friends tell me to do so, but until then, I shall continue to roam.

Now eat your crusts.

Couldn't tell you, since the forums were hosted on Gauntlet's server. As far as I can figure, either he didn't pay the server bill... or it crashed. I'll be trying to get into contact with either him or dalmuln and figure out what's going on. Although it is out of my control, you do have my apologies, esp. since we just got that place cleaned up too.
:icontalonclawfange:
yep its a shame, oh well. good luck with contacting em lol and thanks
