Writing update, NaNoWriMo and progress report
19 years ago
General
Okay, art piggy 2 is a nightmare! Working mirror like stained glass does NOT work very well.. not the way I tried it anyhow. I'll finish the project, just not as ambitiously as I originally intended.
The Warenders' Exodus project: Sorry for the delays, those who are taking part in the illustration project (if you're not and you want to, check my earlier journal entries for more information how and whatnot) Anyway, the last chapter of part one is uploaded, and part two is written. I will do my edits and proofs and get those chapters started in December.. Why December?
NaNoWriMo: the National Novel Writing Month is November, and I'm taking part in the challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. For the rest of this month, I am training: getting into the writing habit, and have clocked myself at a comfortable 2000 words a day. Right now, I'm about 10,000 words into a practice project, which I may post here, or even look into publishing if I like it enough. (kitler1213, I may be zapping you a message for help with that)
The novel I'll be writing is about a little person piggy musician in a medieval, fantasy setting. he and his band are taking part in an "American Idol" style contest in hopes to make it big and prove to his home land that pigs are not second-class. It�s a parody of modern reality television wrapped up in a mystery as some dangerous person or persons is sabotaging the show.
Side note: This is actually coming from an AD&D adventure I ran a little while ago, for which I made up a handful of bands and let folks vote for their favorite. for each band, I picked a couple songs that demonstrated their style, and came up with a quick description of their style, look, strife, etc. it was fun, and there have been multiple requests to do it again SOOOOOOO.. I'm thinking of making it a yearly, goofy thing. The thoughts of getting real, furry musicians involved crossed my mind, but I have nothing to offer as a prize.. Hee hee hee hee Unless.. maybe i can make a tee-shirt or something goofy. anyway. if this gives you any goofy ideas, lemme know :)
So, that's where I am right now.

Last year a publisher offered a paper copy of their NaNoNovel for everyone who completed and had their "Winner" badge after the 30 days.
Rumor is that they're doing it again, and you can order extra copies. ;)
