Gone for a good while

Post by Pickman »

Hey dudes, you'll notice Sala starting to show up less and less over the coming weeks, and disappearing entirely for the month of November.

I'm taking part in National Novel Writing Month and have decided to do so seriously this year. Last year I put out 30k words and I wasn't satisfied with my incomplete work. This year I'm aiming for 50k+ and I want a cohesive, engaging story. With my work and social schedule, that means I have to make sacrifices in how I spend my free time. UL is unfortunately at the end of the list, so until I either A) finish my book or B) give up, you won't be seeing Salad Eraser in the city.

PREPARE YOURSELVES ACCORDINGLY FOR MY TRIUMPHANT RETURN.

Also, once I finish I'll share a link so anyone who'd like to can read it. Unless it's super awesome. Then you can buy it for 1.99 on Amazon. :D

I'm throwing my halo in the ring on this too, this year. I'm needing a break from my current novel and NaNo is as good an excuse as any.

Right now I'm between a YA scifi romp about an alien invasion, or the self-indulgent fun of a YA about attending a school for bad girl witches.

I failed miserably at NaNoWriMo. Hit the wall around 15k words and just couldn't pick it back up.

Now I've also somehow managed to kill the only PC I own that's old enough to run UL. Ironic that I don't have a computer shitty enough to run a game I like. Heh.

Argyle & Blood collapsed around 15k also, but mostly due to grad school applications being in full swing. In fact, I spent today going back and retooling the opening to make the plot clearer because this one has way more traction than I thought it would. :D I'll be working on it for a while.

You should read my #1 Best Seller on the Ukrainian Times Best Seller list 'Smalls, Medium at Large'.

It follows the story of Archibald "Smalls" Winton, a psychic with dwarfism who is framed for the murder of his family. With the help of his cellmate OJ Simpson he escapes prison and searches for the real murderer.
