EDIT: I now have a plot!
Thrall is a servant-slave to an unimportant Lord in the important but boring and well-protected agricultural valley of Dunna. A young woman, she has often considered fleeing the utter boredom of her home and chores, but never done it. But when the Lord is called to an important meeting, he choses her as one of his travelling servant-slaves. And the rest of the world is certainly not as boring as Dunna was...
November is closing in, and in just a week NaNoWriMo begins. For those of you who don't know what that is, NaNoWriMo -or NaNo for short- stands for National Novel Writing Month. You have all 30 days of November to write a rough first draft of a novel, at fifty thousand words or more. That equals some 1667 words each day for a month.
I know what you think, this is utter madness. And it is. Fortunately, you don't have to be slightly unhinged to participate. You don't even need a plot! Throw yourself at it, forget your social life (and often sleep) for thirty days and nights and join the thousands of enthusiastic writers as we all scramble to reach the goal of 50k.
Now I sound like an advertisement
The POINT is that it's super awesome and you should all seriously join at www.nanowrimo.org . My name there is (surprise, surprise) Lizardhound. I hang out in the Plot Doctoring forums and other places like that, helping people, getting help from people and generally learning a lot I probably don't need to know. Just being there, even when you don't write, is one of the best writing experiences you can have.
So. I don't have a plot yet and I'm considering Rebelling, that is taking an unfinished NaNovel and continuing. It'll sure be easier, because I'm 21k words into it. But I don't really want to...
Yeah. Go add me if you're already on NaNoWriMo, join if you aren't and want to have a go or just help people.
Good luck and Keelah Se'lai.

Night Vale, England and General Updates
Hello!
I had a look at my journal and realized a few things:
1. It is several months old and hopelessly out-of-date
2. There's stuff you guys don't know yet.
3. It's stupid to have it up.
So I've decided to update you on my going-ons! *receives applause*
First thing first: The General Update. Life is moving along just fine. I art, I write, I spend time with my friends and I plot the extinction of the human race. My newest book idea requires me to kill off humanity in about fifty years, which I'll accomplish with a combination of a lethal, natural pandemic (we're overdue for one anyways), an extremely lethal engineered pandemic, and a se
Flight Rising
FR is ONLINE! After waiting eleven hours for my confirmation email and finally getting it when someone on the FR team manually extracted my confirmation code and sent me, I'm in the game!
My custom starter Mirror female Firden is awesome. Her Tundra mate, however..... I had to name him Marshmallow. Tundras are very fluffy dragons and Marshmallow is pink and a light-ish blue.
And of their three kids, only green and brown Lore was a keeper. I used my Imperial scroll on her, so I get a pretty Imperial female :3 I'm looking for a Guardian mate for her right now.
If you're already in Flight Rising or planning to join once it opens to the genera
Skins!
Hello!
I may or may not have mentioned Flight Rising before. Flight Rising is a new (as in, not yet open) browser game with dragons. Yes, that's right. DRAGONS.
Apart from the sheer awesomeness of that alone, they have something called skins.
A skin, in Flight Rising, is like a piece of apparel. It's the lineart and shadowing of the dragon, but with a completely cusom-made pattern, with custom colours etc. You download a file with the dragon you want to create a skin for, and as long as you leave the lineart and shadows alone and don't use jet black, pictures etc and keep it reasonable, you're free to make whatever you want. So far I've se
Camp NaNoWriMo
Hi all! It's Camp NaNo!
NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. Normally NaNo is in November, but in April and July there's Camp NaNo. It's more social than NaNo because of the cabin system (which I'll explain only if I'm asked), and I found an awesome chat. I've participated in my first word wars, written 7k words in three and a half days and had LOTS of fun.
Anyways. My novel. The summary is crap, so in short it's a sci-fi crime action thingy with a dash of romace because my two MMCs (one of which is not human) decided to fall in love. But that's just cream fluff filling.
I'm using proper technology and biology too. Antimatter

If you fail as a writer (though I don't think it's very likely), or just need money, you should totally work with writing advertisements! XD What you wrote there was scarily convincing. Like, seriously.
