Press News - Yes, I consider A Librarian's Life in Books to be the press. I have a nice interview over there where I talk about self-publishing, my Antioch experience, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and, of course, Rupert the Magical Pony. Check it out! If you look closely, you'll find a link to my infamous film project, Come Out! Come Out! A Magical Musical Journey.
NaNo News - You guys, I was so super excited to start NaNoWriMo until I sat down to do it and remembered what a soul-killer it is! Still, I managed to get through roughly 1500 words the first night (falling short of the daily goal, but it's something). I missed out on writing Tuesday because I had too much homework that I had foolishly put off until the last minute (plus also Rock Band 3 finally came, soooo...yeah). After my 12-hour school day on Wednesday, I managed a scant 260 words, and then on Thursday I pushed myself back up to roughly 1500 words long-hand, on the way home on BART. The more I write, the more I want to write, but finding time is always an issue.

| Don't be emo, M.Rod! |
Basic Plot: Rain is a young queerling working at a furniture outlet store in rural Ohio, trying to make a go of it with former-stripper girlfriend Carmelle (aka Carmel Apple). She's plodding along in a haze of mediocrity until one day Michelle Rodriguez shows up to buy a couch, zombies start attacking anything alive, and, in the wake of M. Rod kicking zombie ass, relationships begin to fall apart.
Zombie Origins: A bored scientist created them. (It could happen!)
Where I'm at Now: About three thousand words in, Michelle Rodriguez has finally showed up at the furniture store.

Thanks to everyone for your continued interest in my work or my rantings!
I seriously giggled about your NaNo adventures. I also feel for your lack of boobs. I myself have not been without boobs for the past two years. Granted, they are man boobs, but they are every so soft and supple.
ReplyDeleteOMG Amy, TMI.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say, I can't get enough of that cactus thing. Where the hell is it from? Also, this is officially my first NaNo (I tried last year but gave up on being able to do it before it started), and I am beginning to feel the soul-crushing of which you speak. My novel is horrible, perhaps unsalvageable, dreck, and I can't write on two days out of the week. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
XD I blame NaNo crazy for the TMI thing. Much apologies, writing every day makes me kind of wacky.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's hard, and not necessarily the best way to write a novel. But then I think it depends what kind of novel you're writing.
Holy butts, Dayna. 933 people entered to win your book. That is awesome sauce. Remind me next time I see you online to ask how the whole giveaways thing worked. I might be using it for my Rupert stories if I ever get around to editing and publishing them.
ReplyDeleteyeah people love free stuff!
