Oddling Interests 3

I know that this post is rather early, but given the circumstances that I will be out of town for a few days and not be able to use my computer (and phone usage is to be kept to a minimum), I'll be doing all of the posts that are due while I'm gone, today. So here we are with yet another interest post.

In the link above, you will find an amazing podcast, it's funny, amazing, creepy, amazing, slightly twisted, and did I forget to mention, amazing? Remember folks, do not enter the dog park, nor think or look at, for any period of time, about the hooded figures!

Oddling Interests 2:

This is very interesting, and I thought that I might share it on here, I have no qualms if this is what's happening with my blog, seems as there isn't really anything that I'm too bothered about, just ramblings and whatnot, but it's still unnerving nonetheless, what with all that we do online nowadays.

I recommend that you read the article all the way through and give it some deep thought, whenever you can get some thinking time next.

Oddling Reflections 2

Yup! Time again for another reflection and update. The time since the last reflection has been spent mostly on writing and developing the characters and story even further, but I have also gotten into looking at  the writing styles of different authors. It has been very interesting, and I've learned a lot so far.

Reflections for Oddling

     Yay! Another post today. Yup, here goes the first reflection on a new project! It was suggested that I take a look at a Kickstarter campaign to help with the fundings for my book, which, once it's finished, I will be trying to publish. So, I did some looking into on that, as well as did some more writing. So far there's ten full chapters written, and chapter eleven is in the process. Yay, editing! Anywho, that's pretty much all for now. If you want to read some of the writing (I'm not going to post it all, just a little bit as a teaser), This is the link to my DeviantArt. Just saying, the Siege stuff will probably be pretty bad, but I'm working on editing it now, and making it better. Thanks again for your time!

New Project, New book! (Update)

Hello everyone! Happy May! Soooooo, new book, eh? Yup, that's right, I'm working on a new project, which just so happens to be a kind of older project, that has been in the making for almost a year now. It all started at my friend's house, when we went outside and goofed around. We created a game with a fantasy back story (because hey, everyone needs to let their creativity flow), and it was really great. We never continued on with the game, but a few days later, I got to thinking. What if I can create a story that takes the characters and (sort of) setting from the game? And thus, Oddling was conceived. I wrote the first page and a half, but soon dropped it, leaving it in my random stuff binder, which I then took on a trip to Ontario. Because we were driving, and I had exhausted all my ideas for drawing stuff, and finished all the books that were brought along, I began leafing through the binder, and lo and behold, there was Oddling! Except it was a page and a half of untitled writing. So I began writing, and soon decided that this would be a long-term project, and thus would need a title. Considering most of the characters had magical abilities and powers, they were a little bit odd, hence the name 'Oddling'. Also, anyone in that fictional world who has 'gifts' and such is considered and 'Oddling'.
     So yeah, just thought that I should let you guys know what's been going on, and give you a little heads up as to what shall be developing in the future!

Thanks for your time!
