Ya, Still no writing. I've been real interested in body building lately. So I have been writing, somewhat. Writing up my workout plans. I know, doesn't really count as writing, but oh well. Thought I would leave a link to my body building blog. You can check it out here.

Other then that, I did read up on my next assignment in my writing course. Have to write a story for the space cows proposal. Been feeling a little depressed lately, so that'll put a damper on my writing efforts, but I will have to get working on the march 14th assignment real soon.


Talk to you later guys. And don't worry, I'm not super depressed, just worried about stuff that's happening in my teenage years.

Well, once again, it's been a long while since I've posted on my blog. It's now the new year, two months in actually. I haven't written on any of my stories, accept some for my writing course. I have to write a story by March 14 for my writing course, so I'll be on that pretty soon. Then I have been working on a story my Uncle Ray and my Grandma have been writing. She had it all fixed up and ready to send out to editors, then somebody stole her laptop. Her wrists are to old, so she can't fix it up again because it hurts her to much, so now I'm fixing it up for her. Once thats all done, and my writing course assignment is done, I want to start working on "Greywoods" again, and on "The Thorn Prince". So thats how things have been going. Oh I did get some writing in. Wrote a poem for a girl I liked for valentines. She liked it, which made me super happy.

Well got to go and milk some beefers. I'll try to keep posting up to date from now on.

Well, I haven't posted in a while. NaNoWriMo started out good for me.... I think. I wrote everyday, hitting the minimum word count at the least, but most times exceeding it by at least 300 words easy. I did this for a week and a half, but with everything else I had to do, like work, homework, and just some time to relaxe, writing those words had me up to 2:00Am in the morning everyday. I couldn't handle it. I fell asleep in class, I was losing energy for sport performance. So I said, I'll write everyday, but I won't write that much. So now I write almost everyday around 400 words or so a day. I can do that, and it doesn't kill me at all. I am 37,000 words, but I didn't die getting them.
I have been getting into drawing people and stuff. I have an idea for some of my short stories that I know won't have a chance at publication without some serious work overs. So I thought if I get good a drawing I might try turning them into comic books. Don't know how well it will turn out, but it would probably be fun.
Well, better get going guys. Happy writing.

Well, the story seems to come along nicely. I have trapped my inner editor so he can't bother me while I write, though I still try preventing mistakes as naturally should happen. I am currently at 11229 words. I want to figure out how to put a Work In Progress bar on my page. I'll have to read up on it, unless one of you good people reading my blog have any idea on how to do it.
My main character, Carl, has just stolen a wolf pup from a pack of wolfs for his trainer George and gets back with the pup just in time to start whacking crazy worms that could bite his head of in one chomp.
I am really liking how the story is coming along. Well, I better get my word count in.

Well, it's been a few days into NaNoWriMo. My story is coming along great. I'll finally give you a brief summary about what it is about. A man and his friend are rock climbing. His friend falls off the mountain and into a deep hole. He dies, but the main character goes into this hole and can't find his friend, but finds a weird sheild and spear ornament. He touches it and is teleported into a world created by the ancient antlanteans before Noahs flood destroyed them. The Antlanteans are the only magic people on earth and the last of them are in this world. So his adventures happen in this world.

Here is an exerpt from the story. I thought it to be a little funny and a good introduction to how the world of Greywoods will be:

Carl looked a George. “So this is what you call rabbit hunting huh. I think you have a messed up mind man. We are not hunting, we are the hunted, and usually the hunters aren't suppose to be fricken giant bunny rabbits!” Carl had begun to yell near the end.

George looked at him with a big toothy grin through his white beard. “Welcome to Greywoods Carl.”



Hope you all like it.

Oh ya, oh ya. I'll be going to my first ever writing event. At first my boss said he needed me to milk cows at the time the event was because he and his wife had bought tickets to go to a concert, but he got the date mixed up. He thought I meant friday night I needed off, but really I needed saturday night. So after this was figured out, I now can go. It is the Fabulous Kick-Off Party for NaNoWriMo for the Edmonton Wrimo's- thats writers doing NaNo in Edmonton, Alberta. Can't wait, should be fun.

Yay, October is here.

And everyone knows that mean the signups have started for Nation Novel Writing Month 2006 (NaNoWriMo 2006). I signed up October 2nd and met a group of people from my area of Edmonton Alberta. They have a chatting server up but everytime I log into it, there is nobody there. Either I am doing something wrong, or nobodies on. It doesn't matter really. When it comes down to it I'll probably be doing more writing in November then actual chatting. They also host little group events during November, so I would like to go to at least one of those. It will be my first writer get together. I think it should be pretty cool.

My friend and I are working on some ideas for NaNo 2006 and I think they are really coming along. Still can't release anything yet as it is still to new to announce. I should be able to announce them nearing the end of October.

Well it's getting late, but there is an update.
