No cover, sadly, but I really don't have the skills to make one either.

Is it possible to clone eldritch horrors? Speaking of which, I wonder how long their gestation period is......
Now, I'm no eldritch biologist, but if what I learned in school is correct, it's somewhere like... -9 months.

Well, if what *I* learned in school is correct, the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

I'm going to write something horribly grim, as everything a lot of things I write turn out.

I tried to write grim and gritty stuff the last two years and flopped early. This time Imma shoot for something a little more upbeat.

Well apparently I'm doing this. On the other hand, I have no idea whatsoever what I'm going to write. So I suppose it'll be an exercise in improvisation more than actually trying to get a book written. I still need to finish my second draft of my current book, so it's fine if this one doesn't end up being usable.

I do need to decide on a start, at least, and a general idea of where the story will take place and who the characters are. If only I had time to figure that out...

I'm really not sure how I'm going to do this this year, though. I'm so strapped for time all the time now, and struggling to get videos done on a regular basis. And next week, in addition to my two jobs, I have to do a video interview Wednesday after work which will take a few hours, and on Saturday I have to travel to another city to do a stupid conference which will take all day. : /

And yea verily, Arx did decide that November comes but once in a year. I'm signed up as Arxian.

If I get no writing done, I won't be surprised, but if I do I'll be happy. Win-win!

Better yet, run an actual D&D game!
life circumstances decided to implode around me and I had to abandon ship
I'm already planning on being homeless come Monday.
This NaNoWriMo I'll be doing 5,000 words every three days for the Eberron game I'm DMing. It's about four artificers, much fun. Come December, I'll start on editing it all into a story that flows much better, should be around 70,000 words with everyone's writing.

Heh. The story would have "intermissions" between chapters that would either be individual character's backstories, filling in the time between the players not playing.

Any one else here considering a 100k goal this year? I'm starting to get the feeling I'm alone in my endeavor here. :P

I'm not even sure I'll make fifty thou. I've got enough setting in my head for a hundred, but I don't have the time to write three a day.
