I am long overdue for an update. I’ve sat down a few times already and tried to whip up an entry, but I didn’t have anything worthy of reading.

I have been wrapped up in a number of projects lately. Not only am I working on my RP which is bound to be fun despite my inexperience as a mod, but I am making progress in having the first pages of my graphic novel done… well, the line art at least. I am seriously thinking about doing it in color. I just have two more things to draw for one page and… about a dozen or so other drawings to go till the story reaches that page. I am really excited to finally get this seriously going though.

In writing, I have been thinking of getting back to last year’s Nano project. But at the same time I am also planning to get to work on this years. There is an epic story I have been working on for the past fourteen years and I think that this November would be a great opportunity to get something solid down for it. I am going to start by buying some index cards and writing down important scenes that I want to include. That way I can keep the timeline in order, remember everything that I am going to write, and bounce around if I need to. Don’t like the scene I am writing? Feel like something different? No problem! Just take another index card from the stack! … and oh boy is it going to be a stack O_O;;

I am also thinking about going the full month on this one regardless of if I reach the 50,000 word goal early. I might hold off a little on setting that up the scenes though mainly because I want to dig into my writing chest to see what I can find. There is about 14 years of dabblings in there and there is bound to be some things I have forgotten about. The problem is that I want to have the living room cleaned up before I do because the last time I looked in that chest it was a multiple day event.

Still no word on the job applications I sent in. This isn’t very surprising all things considered. Out here the only way most people get a job is if you already know someone. After I get things resettled around here I’ll go out and grab a few more applications and fill out some online. There is nothing I can do but keep trying, right? Its not as though I have the option of moving back in with my parents, nor would I want to with my stepdad soon to reach retirement.

Tomorrow is game night again. I am not so sure if I am going to go this time since I am going to have company. It is going to be wonderful seeing Chrissy again. Its been years since she has been out here to visit. And she is going to be meeting pyrofuego . Nikon geeks unite!

Besides, I doubt I’ll be missed by anyone. I love thinky games but I have never been any good at them. I am sure the guys there would like a chance to play a serious game against one another without teaching a noob. Yeah they get a chance to try out new strategies, but… yeah.

The next few days are going to be busy. pyrofuego and her husband are moving into a new place.
