2024 Happy New Year 2024
01012024 - may we all have a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. here's to those who aren't with us any more: my dad (28 years ago), my dog (17 years ago), my mom (2 months ago), thank you every one.
Ten Years...already?
06092023 - so, looking at my Gallery, and seeing the oldest deviation was Limousine - A Short Story from March 31st, 2013, I realized that holy smokes, this is my 10th anniversary. As a matter of fact, March 31st has become a bit of a sore anniversary for me, as that was the date five years ago that I moved out of my home of 19 years and ended up in a hotel with my mom. Yeah, I take care of my elderly mom. Anyway, this means I started posting in dA five years before I became effectively homeless. Ironically, when I began posting in dA ten years ago, I was in a hotel in Las Vegas on vacation, and I started marathon-writing chapters for Bad Blood Runs Black starting the 1st of April 2013. Yeah, they were rough drafts, but I cranked out a chapter a day for about a week or so. Gradually it slowed down, until now, I posted chapter 54 back in October 2022, so it's been eleven months since I last posted to my story. I started writing the story in a hotel room, and now I'm still writing it in
Happy New Year 2023
07012023 - Happy belated New Year! I've been posting every picture I have on my computer over the past couple weeks or so. some are gifts from other artists, and are so credited. most are my own mouse-drawn-using-MS-Paint poo. I wish I had more, the older stuff hand drawn on paper, but most have been lost over the years, or are currently in storage and I can't get at them yet :grump: now, I think I can get back to writing my story, what is it now, chapter 55? it'll be a new story arc, so good time to introduce the reader to characters, both heroes and villains, new and old. I won't giveitaway now, but I've done a pretty good job of tying up loose ends so far, so there aren't too many left, huh? or is there a whole continent to the south that we haven't explored yet? and what about the ocean to the east of the High Porte, or west of Albi Aula? endless possibilities, so please bear with me, and thanks for viewing :wave:
Bad Blood Runs Black is up
28112022 - all 54 chapters combined, proofed/edited, added table of contents, and pages numbered (637 pages, plus placeholder page 638 for pending chapter 55). removed all exclamation marks and half the ellipses (dang there were a lot of ellipses...I mean...). had to do some editing to correct mistakes or clarify things, but I tried to keep changes to a bare minimum. it was fun, going through all the chapters again :squee: the other day, I saw a movie on TV called Life-Size 2 with Tyra Banks as a living doll named Eve, and her in the initial pink outfit reminded me of Slikkepind the Ghaele Eladrin. really, the way she talks to people to cheer them up, and doesn't seem to care what everyone else thinks is so her. Slikki was not influenced by Eve, as this was the first time I saw the movie, but it doesn't surprise me that there would be some similarities (of course, instead of a Barbie-sized doll growing to Tyra's substantial height, we have a 6 foot+/2 meter tall Ghaele Eladrin who
