I Won (again) [barely]

So, The Truth hit 50,000 words today, just barely inside the deadline for finishing the novel, and although I'm still not done with the story, the challenge is under my belt. *Relief*

I think this is going to be a very short story... oddly enough. It's not going to get much farther than 50k. Since my last novel was 87,000+ words, this now seems very oddly short. xD Kind of funny.

Expect more updates soon! (one, because I'm finally not writing anything [been doing that since June 1st straight] and two, because I'm now going to focus on PUBLISHING FLIGHT! WOO!)

Check out the three new updates for my post-by-post novel, The Truth.
All part of building my online fanbase! (If it exists).

A New Beginning (kinda)

Readers,

If you are still alive, or view this blog on any one out of fifty occasions, then thank you. For those of you who don't, please start. I'll try to make it more interesting, if that's the problem.

So, here's the deal.

I'm beginning to look into some serious publishing (so serious that I have my first rejection slip under my belt), and I'm starting to do various things around the internet that would help me to boost my "reputation" among writers. Here they are, if you're interested:

My DeviantArt account, which sports pictures of my OC's, as well as occasional blog posts of my activity, etc.: http://azedarach.deviantart.com

My Teen Ink account, which I'm sure you'll find interesting once I begin putting up more stuff. I have part of a novel, a fanfiction, some poems, and some pictures up. Please take note of this one especially, it means a lot to me: http://teenink.com/users/HauntMystic

My Twitter account, which has been largely inactive for a long time, but will hereforth be used to further my motive to tweet story-related stuff: https://twitter.com/Hauntmystic

My Pinterest account, which is waaaaaay much more fun than it sounds: http://pinterest.com/captainterch/

My alternate FaceBook account for Merry Johnson, who is the main character of my novel, The Truth, this month: http://www.facebook.com/ryka.novenden

Thank you all for reading this, if indeed you did. I look forward to updating all of these soon! (When I get back from work on Saturday... I'm gone all week. *Sob*)

The End of Camp

Camp NaNoWriMo June... has ended!

But my novel hasn't. 72,000 words into it, and the main villain still needs to at least come close to completing his quest, the Captain still has to face off with the General, my warriors need to regroup, and above all, the huge amazing plot twist has to take effect!
Then, of course, the big battle at the end.

It seems there's so much left to do... but at least I know it'll be as big as its prequel

---

Speaking of camps... how about August 'WriMo? I've planned my novel called 'The Truth' over at the site, and although it's not my usual cup of tea (genre-wise) I'm going to experiment with it a little. And I'll be experimenting again in April when I attempt a sci-fi comedy... wow.

Still! The Truth is probably going to be the deepest, thickest, most meaningful book I've ever written, and although it's a newbie cast, I still can't wait to dive it... so much to anticipate! x_x

Project: Editing. Stage: Nearly Complete

I just reached chapter 11 this morning of my first NaNo novel during the editing process, and I'm nearly done! All that's left is the remainder of this flashback sequence, the climax, and then the end.

I'm not really looking forward to the climax, but it'll feel good to perfect it. It's one of those sob-sniffle-cry climaxes.

:'O

At any rate, as soon as I'm finished with the final editing (this is the 4th draft), I will format it professionally, and then send it out for - you guessed it - publishing! (Hopefully before then I get my short story 'January' published someplace). I'M SO EXCITED!

It's an adventure worth telling in its own story, isn't it?

Keep you updated,

Silvermist

P.S. I've been reading Bleach's Soul Badge arc. It. Is. Getting. EPIC.

This is Tsukishima. The bad guy that wasn't until he was.

He's awesome.

Ahem.
