To the artists (including Stalcry), I am awed by the work that you all create. I wish I could create drawings from the images in my head (I'm trying to learn but it feels impossible). Until then I will be satisfied with appreciating and being inspired to write by the incredible work of artists.


For years, I've had a problem with finishing. I have finished articles. I've finished college. I have finished writing novels but I've never really gotten to the point where I was really done with a novel.

From each attempt at my novel, I've learned. I've learned the craft. I've learned the process. I've also learned where I fail.

I fail when I lose my passion for the story. I fail when I lose my faith in the story.

So in pursuit of my life's dream I will strive to make the story for my newest attempt more interesting to me (a prequel of which is on my deviantART page. Part 2 is coming after I finish a project at work)

The steps I will take...
Step 1. Reconsider possibility
Step 2. Expand the horizons
Step 3. Have fun with the details
Step 4. Focus on the progression of the characters

I will be striving to achieve. The most probable result will be physical injury (if I survive my plans for November it will be a miracle). For November, I will continue to post daily and I will participate in the annual madness known as Nanowrimo. That along with the regular duties of living my life should leave me a quivering mess by the end of the first week but I'm optimistic.
