Lazybones McWriMoshorts

I think there will be a continued relative lack of activity here for most or all of November, as I am actually doing NaNoWriMo (that's National Novel Writing Month, natch) this year and taking somewhat seriously the premise of finishing a stupid novel that I will never, ever, ever let anyone read.

Seriously, it will be hidden forever. You will never see it. I am 100% dead dog serious about that, and despite some of my friends' eternal charms and ability to shmooze me into sharing stuff I'm not confident about, I will not budge on this one. But it's an interesting exercise in forcing myself to make up a story on the fly, which is something I am notoriously bad at. I am also notoriously bad at: making up disposable characters, writing without constant self-editing, and writing when I am certain of the fact that I am writing something intensely stupid.

Do you wonder how stupid it is? It's a "serious" horror story about werewolves. All the characters are intensely dislikable. So the answer is "pretty stupid."

Somehow it's very satisfying so far, though! However, it's also exhausting my other creative impulses. So I don't think there'll be much drawing done this month. Sorry, audience who reads this blog solely for cute pictures of dogs and/or creepy naked satyrs. You will have to go without. After I'm done with this I'm sure I won't feel like writing anything for months, though, so you can get lots of nice pictures then without a lot of dumb words by me (your friend (Kris)).
