HUMP DAY UPDATE

If I'm silent, I'm doing something worth my focus. Trust. It's a #amwriting thing.

That's pretty much it when it comes to me. I have a tendency to get really silent, but I will continue to keep this blog updated periodically, so fret not.

I was really expecting Elsa to 'Let It Go' with the winter storm... but all we got was a bunch of rain and ice. Oh well.

I was approached a few days back by some who purchased my first novel, and wanted it signed. Felt nice, it made me think about my future if I keep on the path.
 
I have been working on several manuscripts (one being in the Shadow Genesis series) and a few others from Slumgarde, The Multiverse, Wingless, and Slicka. Shadow Genesis: Inception is looking to get proofread, and I'm currently waiting on that trial edit batch to be emailed. So while that is being looked at, I keep busy elsewhere.

Enjoy your Hump Day.

TUESDAY UPDATE: Wingless & The Instagram Life

I've been working on a butt load of projects. I still remember those I've written in old notebooks (some salvaged and used for major projects) and now I juggle five by the weeks with one above all.

Some posts back I revealed Project # 4 now titled Slumgarde. At the moment it is on first draft just like the others and now a fifth project has taken its place.

Project Wingless (Title Pending)

In the world of the winged, bedlam approaches.

Leona Snowsong, a wingless Dovekin of the Ave race, is wanted by the Ave Angelics of Avios Plane. Once a hunter now protector, Hawker Rynnick Ironsquall turns against the demands of the Angelics to defend Leona and the truth behind her rare existence. Now they roam the realm of Terra below in effort to keep ahead of the hunt.

For the Angelics must not claim the wingless.

This project has been in limbo for awhile until now, for there was another contending against it. I try to keep everything controlled in project numbers (for I can birth a bunch in a minute...literally) managed in my creative writing world while staying committed to the long awaited revival of Shadow Genesis. So far so good. It is an amusing wonder as to how I do it all.

Sometimes I wonder...about a few things in terms of my talents.



 Meanwhile in the social networking world:


There are uncountable numbers in the Instagram Likes World. I have one, and I usually just post photos of random stuff if not just me (nothing conceited compared to those who are) and it is mainly a mobile media-sharing service that enables people to snap photos and videos and share over a social networking platform. One can connect to Facebook, Tumblr (which I hardly use now), and Twitter to name a few. I can say this app is a photographer's toy, especially one who also graphic designs (artists and such like me and the rest), and one can do some neat little enhancements with the filters Instagram has.

Everybody loves taking pictures. Same goes for getting 'Likes'.

Which comes to this neat little video by a good friend of mine, Das Johnson, called
Instagram LiKES in REAL LiFE. A soft-comedic spin that takes the whole Instagram trend to a more...real life spectrum so to say. Give this video your time and have a little chuckle. Leave a comment or so and share it around with your buddies!

MONDAY SLUMGARDE

 

Glynhroth Fernmire, a puckish half-elf with magic fingers, hatches what will be the greatest theft in Nirvraskan history: Raiding Dirkwall Highfort’s impenetrable nest egg of wealth, the Goldvault, and bring the ghettos of Slumgarde out of squalor. With the help of his ragtag team of misfits his ultimate heist is absolutely foolproof…or so it appears. Something wicked is amidst.

Last night I was writing in the Project Ghetto Elf manuscript titled ‘Slumgarde’ and really found the groove needed to carry on the story. Slumgarde is an action adventure comedy that tells the tale of a half-elf thief and his friends who have their own problems to fix as they plan the ultimate heist. It will not be an easy feat, for there is more to the story than just a gang of misfits looking to redeem themselves off of their Dirkwall city’s precious vault of goodies. This project is worked through the snowflake method, an entirely new method of me to work with since I usually write without pre-plotting ahead. Therefore this story just might come out as complex from its simple summary above and that there is a good thing.

I have four main characters. One of them is Glynroth Fernmire the half-elf thief who is puckish, sharp-wit, and unfiltered in mindset. The other three are:

Dwyte Allnutt: A man who has gambled his life and family away.

Thalgred Graycloak: A drunken dwarf of guts and tall-tales that heavily fabricate an unpleasant truth.

Blip Nimblefoot: A brainy gnome of quirky innovation, and flaw.

Of course the dwarf is a drunk and the gnome is a tinkerer but hey, I like to mess with the cliché and see where it goes… for even the familiar of tunes can hit different tones. This is actually my first time using the drunken dwarf cliché. Slumgarde overall is just as unique and a change of pace for me when not in the Shadow Khan Project, and Project Chosen One (Slicka) is just as wild.

Back to a bit of SG:I edits. Today is a rainy day.
