NaNoWriMo

That’s right, ladies and gents, I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year! I have an idea, my mind is obsessed with it, and it just so happens to be November, so why not?

Graphic is from NaNoWriMo’s website, nanowrimo.org. 

For those of you who don’t know what NaNoWriMo is, it is one of those witty November traditions (like No-Shave-November) that is quickly becoming a Thing. The goal is to write 50,000 words during the month of November. You “win” NaNo by completing the task.

Let me fill you in on a fun little secret: The Year is Now started out as a NaNoWriMo project. I “won” NaNo in 2012 with it and revised the living daylights out of it until it became the book that it is today. I remember being obsessed with the same fervor that I have today!

I decided to have as much fun with this year’s project as possible. The holiday insanity is just around the corner, so I might as well enjoy every single day before Black Thursday Black Friday. I made a mock up cover with the current working title of the project. And yes, it’s fantasy. I’m skipping the kiddie pool and diving into the deep end!

The cover is surprisingly effective. Every time I log into NaNo’s website, it’s there to inspire me to move forward. If you are doing NaNo, I highly recommend creating a mock up cover. It doesn’t have to be the next best thing to sliced bread, just something to make you smile.

Are you doing NaNo this year? Feel free to add me as a Writing Buddy. I will add you back. I am RlyehDreams. I’ve been tweeting about my progress on twitter, @MishiWan

Return to Tomorrow: July

I am losing the War Against Busyism ; it is such an unfortunate truth, but that doesn’t mean I was idle while waiting in the trenches. I was able to scribble out a few things for the month of July. A patriotic prelude to my new avatar Pencil drawings are such fun! I have plans to make a digital version of this ink sketch. I’m a Fighter Pilot – The image I created my avatar out of. It’s too wide to post on here, so here’s the link! 7/3 books read. Thank FSM for lunch breaks.

SGS: Creativity!

Looking at Heather’s wonderful prompts, I just realized that April is almost over. Is it really the last Sunday of the month already!? How did that happen? Even with quarantine it feels like it just zipped by!  This week’s Seriously Geeky Sundays theme hits close to home, and I am super excited about it. As you all know, I’m an artist who loves to draw, paint, write, and sew!  26th April – Creativity What does creativity in fandoms/geeky interests mean to you? EVERYTHING. Just look at Club High Castle!  High Castle is the one fandom where I’ve felt like I’ve been allowed to flourish. The countless hours and dedication I’ve put into the things I’ve created has been appreciated by both fans and the cast and crew. I have never experienced anything like it, and it has genuinely made me happy over the years.  I’ve been in other fandoms where art and things just slipped by unnoticed–not that I’m seeking attention, but knowing that there are people out there who enjoy my...

High Castle is Coming to SDCC Again!

News on the High Castle Front!  High Castle is going to be at San Diego Comic Con again! Going off of last year’s SDCC appearance, we can expect some hints about Season 4, a release date, and a trailer! I have no idea what to predict about S4, so I’m going to hold all of my theories and speculations until after the panel. I CAN’T WAIT! Yet, it is also a bittersweet feeling knowing that this is the final season of the show that has been a huge part of my life since 2015. Never before has a TV show captured my imagination like Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle.   Here are the details as posted by the official @HighCastleTV Twitter account: When: Sat, July 20th at 4:15 PM I am assuming this is PST, so it will be 7:15PM for us East Coasters. Where: Room 6A I truly wish I could be there! Costume designer Cate Adair posted some details on Instagram, and I WISH I COULD TELEPORT THERE. Okay. Deep breath 😉 There will be a costume designers guild booth (#734) in the main conv...
