  The Lady Amanata Taiapetra

  11.05.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  This is The lady Amanata Taiapetra, who my ex-monk Betto has just met. He has Renzino, the rogue, with him, but as he’s unconscious, neither he nor Amanata know his name yet. They’ve also met up with Amanata’s maid, Milena, but I’ve not done a picture of her, yet. Did pretty well today, taking myself [...]

  NaNoWriMo 2007

  11.04.07 | Permalink | Comments Off

  These are two of the characters I’m using for my 2007 National Novel Writing Month effort. One is a recently dismissed monk, from an island abbey with an extensive library; the other a thief, assassin, or possibly some other kind of ne’er-do-well, unjustly accused and persecuted. They’ve just been thrown together kind of suddenly; I’ve [...]

  I just want it to be known…

  The NaNoWriMo site isn’t loading just now, but my wordcount is 6604 right before midnight. Which means I’m on target for my 2K per day (even if I only did about 1800 today – why is it I always do worse on weekends?), even if the official NaNoWriMo stats say otherwise…

  My voice reaches across the Internet…

  NaNoWriMo approaches again. This time around, I was invited, as a “veteran” (this being my third go-around), to give my thoughts of encouragement to the newbies for WriMoRadio, the podcast for all things NaNo. Obviously not just mine, but they selected some snippets of my wisdom to distribute to the masses, together with lots of [...]

  Oops…

  Fixed a silly bug in my NaNoWriMo graph creator; if you viewed it on a month that wasn’t November, it Went A Bit Wrong…

  YES!!!

  I appear to be the 3546th or so person to get my fifty thousand words this NaNoWriMo! It took me right up until midnight. I usually get my total in five minutes before (in case of network delays), but I discovered I was 25 words behind!!! I’ve never typed faster, I can tell you! It’s [...]

  A day of rest

  At least that’s my excuse. I did get my NaNoWriMo graph maker to cope with graphs that go over fifty thousand; it should also always return an image, even if it fails to get any NaNoWriMo data (before it supplied a text error message, which presumably would break anything that was expecting an image).

  Day 25 Part III

  11.26.06 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  Didn’t quite get the 4500 done today that The Plan dictated, but only 88 down is not bad. I didn’t quite get the distinct afternoon and evening sessions I wanted – I sort of dozed during part of the afternoon session and it all bled into one big long session (hence why no “Part II” [...]

  Day 25, part 1

  11.25.06 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  The plan – and I know that mentioning it in advance makes it unlikely to succeed – is to have three writing sessions today, and get 1500 words (at least) in each session. That should allow me to get a nice total and still have enough time to get some vital slacking and goofing about [...]

  The weekend starts here

  11.25.06 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Strange how things go. Okay, so I got home an hour earlier than usual because it’s Friday. And I’m feeling that little more cheerful ‘cos a) it’s Friday and b) I’ve got the next week off, meaning no going back to work for 10 days. But still, I basically had my two thousand words done [...]

Musings of a Creative Slacker

"Creative Slacker" referrs to the fact that I should be doing creative stuff – writing, art, 3D animation, RPG stuff, but I don't. Maybe "lazy bastard" would be more appropriate.
