October Update

I've decided to start giving monthly updates on my progress on literary and artistic ventures, and anything else I want to talk about.


Writing:

My goal is to write 3000 words this month, worth of miscellanious notes and outlines for my stories.  I'm finding that 3000 words, (that's just 100 words per day,) is an easily attainable word count goal that I can probably maintain from month to month, while juggling life's commitments, and still have time for drawing, and other art projects.

Drawing:

I've been doing a lot of writing lately but not so much drawing, so I found out that I'm completely unprepared for Inktober.  I'm still tackling it regardless and I'll put up a post of whatever artwork I've got done next month.

And of course I'm going to do NaNoWriMo next month.  Its a story about a gravedigger, I'll tell you more about it in November.


Misc:

That's about it.  Haven't had time for much painting or anything this month.

Shambling In The Dark

Here's a sonnet I wrote about shambling undead!  :)

The zombie horde that shambles in the dark,

And piles up like leaves outside our home

Seeks human flesh as dearly as the shark,

And in the dark we hear them wail and moan.

We cannot make the undead go away

They'll still be wailing, screeching with the dawn,

Unless we take the time to go and slay

These creatures, and to get them off our lawn.

So fill the chainsaws up with gasoline,

A resource that's so precious and so dear.

To hear us you might think we're very mean,

we slaughter them with jollity and cheer.

The city has already been consumed,

But if they tackle our house they'll be doomed.
