Yes, I was waiting for this.

Yes, I was waiting for this. published on No Comments on Yes, I was waiting for this.

All right kittens.  The new NaNoWriMo site is finally up!  Is it sad that I was waiting for this?  I mean, it’s still mid October and I have a couple of stories that I really really really want to finish up before starting something shiny and new on November first, but I’m really excited about National Novel Writing Month this year.  The past two years I’ve tried, but because of moving and unforeseen circumstances I was not able to make much of a go of it or a show of it.  And then there was the 23,000 word thumbdrive corruption…..

Why is my lease set in November?

Anyway!  In an effort to distract myself from writing, I will still be drawing and trying to figure out how to integrate a web-comic posting function into this here blog, or website.

Once the buddy function is up and running make me a friend and we’ll write together come November.

If you are subscribed to the Bean feed then you may have been noticing some weird stuff going on with comic pages showing up, disappearing, repeating.  That’s me.  I’m trying to figure out how to make the Bean host comics like those cool comic hosting sites while still remaining my blog.

I think I have an idea of how to do it now, and it may mean some more comic reposting in your feeds, so please bear with me.

Also–my idea of how to do it now will change the site a little too, so if you are visiting the web pages you will see some tweaks here and there.

ok so, my eyes are starting to cross.  I think this is the point past which I can no longer go break-less.  I mean, like a bigger break than going to the rest-room or getting up to stretch.

Oh, so yeah, you saw the title right?  ‘Death Goes to Octoberfest:  the case of the Strychnine Streusel.’   I’m thinking inspector Lewis, and corny 80s mystery paperbacks, and Clue, and Noises Off, actually…

Ok, here are the first two pages of my 24 hour comics challenge.  I have very little idea what I’m going to do with it next, but I know what the end is, so maybe I’ll work on those pages (which you won’t get to see yet) and figure out the middle later.

I’ve got 24 hours before my comic drawing marathon begins.  I’m really ridiculously excited and have been boring and annoying everyone with talk of it all week.  I will be posting all the pictures here as I go.

Almost can’t wait

At the end of this week is 24 hour comics day.  Saturday, October 1st to be exact.  My challenge will start at 8am.  I’m kind of thinking that it will be ok, and that my tendency to draw draw draw every evening will serve me well.  And then I’m thinking that I’m underestimating the challenge and I will be a crazy eyed zombie by the time it is done.

Anyway!  I will be posting the pages here as they are completed, so check in to see how I’m doing.
