Oops

20 March 2010 | Filed Under Updates 

So I did some storyboarding (more on that next week) to outline my story – and haven’t touched it since. I have fallen into the outlining trap. By outlining too thoroughly, it’s as if I’ve already written the story in my head, and makes it’s that much harder to put it on paper.

Oops.

So um, I’m switching up my writing schedule. Some days I’ll work on editing my NaNoWriMo novel, The Narrator, while others I’ll be working on a humorous story, The Dragon’s Apprentice. I started it last summer but NaNo interrupted. It should be relatively short though. *crosses fingers*

    Okay well, I don’t know anything about _The Dragon’s Apprentice_ so you have to fill me in!

    There’s a link, why didn’t you click it? (gosh! :P ) It’ll take you to the link in the navigation bar, project 2.0 (or you could just click that). There’s the back cover copy for your enjoyment! [/TooLazyToSummarizeAgain]

    Haha, how did I not see that?? Lol, thanks for correcting my unbelievable obliviousness ><

    hmm…perhaps you saw it when I first first published it, and it wasn’t linked yet because I hadn’t built the page? While unlikely, this is possible…
