So, I've decided to participate in NaNoWriMo. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's National Novel Writing Month. Maybe by doing this I'll finally get a manuscript written and something worth reading published. Doubt it, but it's worth a try.

The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write at least 50,000 words within 30 days. That's 1,667 words a day. A daunting task, but definitely possible. I so far have 250 words and it is late in the evening of the second day of November. I'm FAR behind -__- I'll make it up in the week to come, hopefully. I don't have work this week, so I'll be by the computer a lot more to be able to write.

For those of you who wish to participate, you can sign up here: [link]

For those of you who wish to add me as their buddy, I'm LA_Walker.

My job at Sears Portrait Studio is stressful. Whiny kids, even whiny boss, but it's a job...

So much fun

That is all.

THE WINNERS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN!!!


The Winners of the "Deity Generator" Contest have finally been chosen. It's been a long, grueling, and hard two weeks, but we have finally been able to come to a decision. The judges are as follows:




Now, onto the winners and their prizes. Again, this was INCREDIBLY difficult, especially since one of our original judges was unable to come through due to unforeseen family obligations. But that's okay, we still love her

Also, one of our prize donaters has been banned from deviantART and I've tried contacting her, but have been unable to find a way thus far, so the prizes she donated are being removed from the prize list. I sincerely apologize to the winners to have to take away a prize you were promised when you entered this contest, but her being banned and unable to contact her is out of my hands. I tried, you guys, and I really hope that you can understand this and forgive me. I'M SORRY!!!

Now, there were SEVERAL picks for who should get first place, and very, VERY, difficult to narrow it down. But, alas, it had to be done. Everyone did such an incredible job with their entries, I was stunned by the skill and love that went into these pieces. Everybody, give yourselves a round of applause for doing so awesomely!


Now, the winners.
