Second day into Nanowrimo.

10206 / 50000 words. 20% done!

Take that!

haven't written here for weeks, thought about doing a little cheating on NaNoWriMo and start writing early so when I go back to work from my stay-cation, work wouldn't throw me off....but I didn't cheat.

I'm gonna die!!! ROFL 1667 words a day? especially when I go back to work the last half of the month? When I walk my sis down the aisle one of these four weekends? Note to self, don't pull an all nighter on NoDoz and coffee and sake on THAT Friday!!! LOL

Also....I still remember mostly that dream I had from the last entry. It just involved some weird get together in the produce area of Reasor's South but the only person that stood out to me....was an old friend that I once went to church with. Well she used to be my friend until I pissed her off after Tina was murdered. Her name before then was Heather McArthur and I had a very big crush on her. Anyway we were close friends and back then I didn't know the real actual reason why I broke up with my first gf but my last letter to Heather after Tina's murder said some rather mean things about Nhu that I thought was the reason why I didn't want to be with Nhu anymore and so in the reply Heather told me off and I learned that she was either back with her bf or they never broke up in the first place and I heard they married and I never heard of her since.

Anyway in the dream we met up again and we both said hi and started catching up, telling what had been going on in our lives since the mid nineties. The weird part is that I woke up with the feeling that I told her EVERYTHING that I thought, the whole scary crap that I was thinking since getting wrongfully terminated from Pizza Hut, me going out with Angela and then breaking up with her and how it was because she "wasn't smart enough for me" and how to this day I nicknamed her "dumb ass" and "idiot" and then the whole crash and burn with meeting, dating, and everything else with Sheila and then the horrible fights with my mom and then her having the heart attack....

and she didn't even react how I thought she would....she just hugged me and became my friend again.

Anyway it just turned twelve, IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!!!!

Sooo in one hour Nanowrimo starts and since this is the first time I'm participating, I don't have any writing buddies. Add me? I also created a twitter account for this month of insanity.

The title will be "The Moon and the Magnet" from the as of now non-existant "Sunken Glory" franchise; I'll make it one, hur hur.

Provided that I might not have much to do in the upcoming months... >_> and after finishing the mysterious background story, I may do a oneshot comic about a 12/13 year old kid living on the moon as well. I gave him a temporary name, Wayde, until I can find something better. It will be my second try at a comic... I barely remember the first one, but it failed and it didn't have a solid story.

Today I forced myself to look at some old designs that make me cringe endlessly. [tehorror]The hair!! D: Wayde's like omg ewwwwwwwww the worst. What's up with the colors man! This was done 5 years ago and ever since I hadn't bothered with his character design. The green eyes will stay, but otherwise it's scrapped.[/tehorror] Of course, he'll be de-aged as well.
The only character I've been consistent on art-wise, is the main character for the background stories. This is a serious ":-|" lady in late twenties with a crazy "I'm in the resistance!!1" father and a somewhat helpless little brother jerk who hates on her two three male underlings subordinates.

Did this sketch yesterday. Not bad if I say so myself. Drawing eyes and decent heads is a piece of cake, but now I just need to work on drawing bodies and uh, noses.

Paint Tool Sai is fantastic (Vector line art layers own!) by the way. It's the same tool I used to create a fanart of Jack from Pandora Hearts. Heavily experimented using patterns and filters. I'm so proud of the braid and just hair that blows in the wind and unties for no particular reason.

Sort of interested in going to the HAFF, an animation festival in Utrecht next week. They're showing tons of anime, but either I can't go or am not interested or seen it already. Friday seems the most interesting day with:

12:30 - Coraline
14:30 - Alice by Jan Svankmajer
16:30 - Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea or Tekkonkinkreet

Probably won't make it to the first one, because of presentations the entire morning... >_> *sigh*

The question is... Ponyo or Tekkonkinkreet?
