So... yeah, I failed miserably at NaNo; burned myself out too badly too early.  *sighs*  Anyways...

My quest for EPIC continues!  I'm still searching for a way to make an EPIC Smilie.  I've done a bit of research, and even asking de-Mote, on how to fix my shading style, to make my emotes seem a little more.... round, you know?  So, I'll have to work on that, see what works out.

Still looking for comments or suggestions on what an "EPIC" emote would be, so feel free to give me some suggestions!

I've also joined Emoti-CON, to try and become a little better known.

Hey everybody; as all of you know, it's now November.  And with November for anyone who's ever put a pen to paper to be creative knows comes National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo.  The objective is to write 50,000 words in 30 days or less.

Being and aspiring author, I'm trying that myself!  So far, it's turning out nicely!  I've enjoyed every minute of it, and have been getting ahead of schedule every day thus far (That's... 1667 words per day, usually, in order to hit 50,000 by November 30th), and will continue to press forward!  It's really a rush, just writing as quickly as you can, without regards for spelling/punctuation.  So you'll have to wish me luck, there!

However, also in November, I've have decided to "Quest for Epic".  As you've seen in my gallery, I've been experimenting with Emoticons.  I'm quite proud of what I've been able to do!  BUT.  I want/need to create an emoticon that has to do with "Epic".   Epic First <- this is "Epic First", and is presently the only idea I've got that's been put to transparency and pixel.  I... need ideas!  If you think you've got one, drop me a comment in either my journal, or my profile, and let me know what you think would make a good emote!

I'll keep you all updated on my present word count here on the journal page, so if anyone's interested, just keep checking here.

For those of you who may have seen my Motivational Posters made with my personal Halo 3 screenshots, you may be surprised to see that they no longer appear in my gallery.  Well, that's because after some "complaining" by a few people, and a query to the help desk, it was determined that they were in violation of the Policy, and Copyright, and were quickly removed.

... Yeah, that kinda sucks, since writing materials are often overlooked on dA.  *sighs*  But either way, I'm getting back into a writing mode.  National Novel Writing Month approaches quickly, and I need to do some warm ups to get me all set and stuff.  So for you... readers out there, keep a sharp eye out; some shorts and even a series may be coming to my account sometime soon.

*chuckle*  Yeah, I say that to make myself feel good; not many people actually come here yet.

So when I first signed up for dA here, I didn't do a whole lot 'cause... well, I wasn't doing a lot of writing, and I felt so out of place, really.  A writer on dA?  It seemed so very wrong.  So I had dropped out, only using my account to favorite things I liked, comment on a few friends' comics, etc.

Well, thanks to :iconellen-natalie: for giving me an idea on how to better fit in on this site!

As I'm sure everyone here knows, Halo 3 was released just recently.  And I've been playing it.  A lot.  Halo 3 features this NIFTY little thing called the "Theater", that allows you to view full matches from whatever viewpoint you so desire, pause, fastforward, slow-motion, and everything.  You can also record clips and, more importantly, take screenshots.

I'm LOVING these screenshots, because I've made a hobby out of making "motivational posters" from the shots.  You'll see what I mean soon.  ^_^

So yeah, to those who cared, I'm back.

To whom it may concern...

I went on some huge poeming spree a while ago, and I happened to find all of the poems again on my computer!  While none of them are Sci-fi, and they seem to be focused around "angels", I was proud of them when I got them down.  :D

There should be about six more of them, along with a new short, so... enjoy!

I've also posted a new poem I wrote up just this morning, from a character in my greatest work thus far.  Please, go comment!  ^^

And finally, I'm now in charge of the Literary Exchange thread in Thumbshare!    Here's the forum.deviantart.com/devart/th… so any writers go and post stuff, and don't forget to comment on others you see!
