I participated in NaNoWriMo. If I hadn't goofed off so much in the beginning, I wouldn't have had to rush in the end. It was an ambitious project that I've been wanting to work on for quite some time, but like Comedienne, a challenged provoked me to do it. Half ass. The only difference is that with Comedienne I felt like I didn't want anything more to do with it. It's still a project that I'd love to complete, but I can't. :/

As for this, though, I've written a story that attempts to capitalize allthe types of humor that I appreciate, while also unintentionally including popular genres into the mix, such as Sci fi, action, comedy, ... romance (it ended up in there quite a bit, yeah), fantasy, slice of life, dark, depressing, whatever. There's pretty much a tad of everything, and I'm proud with how it came out. 
However, it came down to the wire, (Though I've written the goal of 50,000 words on the 25th) and I needed to write the ending. So, I wrote and finished the rough draft of my best work with a slightly abridged ending.

I've been drawing the cover for it to. It's marvelous so far, but I need some time to complete it. The work put into it is pretty good, and it's also my best digital work. Hands down. When that's done I'll post it along with a few WIPS if there's interest. It's an honestly huge improvement.

As for the story, I need to proof read it, and with the type of story it is, I'm going to see which of my friends are willing to do that. None of them like reading, but I'm going to try and get them to do it as best I can. If anybody also wants to help, I'll give you my Skype, and we'll all try working on that together. When the entire book is complete, I'm uploading it onto this site: tablo.io/x-a-v

TL;DR: I wrote a book for a competition. It's fucking insane. Skype me if you're interested in helping me proof read it, or dramatique read* it. Expect to see the cover in the very near future. I hope you'll read the story when it's out.


Thank you.
*Dramatique read: I'm sure there's an actual term for this. Probably just 'dramatic read' but dramatique reading is a term I use to mean reading a book aloud while also acting out the characters feelings (verbally), usually done with multiple people in the style of an audio reading with actual voice acting.
