Beasts of Burden -- I wrote a book !!
18 years ago
General
Greetings All!
I'm so excited I can't friggin' get to sleep and it's 7 AM! I just finished writing Beasts of Burden, my first book-sized Orc story in the English language.
Beasts of Burden has been a project of mine for little over six months, and those six months unfortunately the project many a time lay dormant for many weeks. I feel you should only write when you truly feel like it, and lots of things (many good ones) kept distracting me over the months.
You gotta feel like it. If your inspiration's meh, your story will be meh.
But now after half a year finally it's been written, and oh my God it's HUGE. To give you an idea, it's got 310.000 keystrokes in it. To put it in perspective that's as long as fifteen of my average-length stories laid out back to back, and it's over three times larger than my largest story before this, The Seven Days of Orcyon.
Guys and gals, I'm going to give it some runs to work it up, have some good friends proofread it and I'm going to get it to you.
I'm glad to be having something for you after all those months of writer's block, and it's just as big as the stack of stories you missed out on because of my writer's block.
Thanks for bearing with me during the long, long dry spell.
Big Orc hugs & snoutring tugs!

Huzzah! Finishing a big project like that is always a great feeling. It's even better when you know you've got something good.

This is indeed a great milestone in yur artistic career, but also your life. Not many people can claim to have done that. I'm looking forward to reading it.
