One more around the bend

[jkatkina]

So, we're probably going to try NaNoWriMo again this year. It seems to be settling into a pattern where I do one year NaNo, one year Huevember, and you know? it works.

We still have a ton of outline from 2017's go at book 2 of Daemon's Luck, so that's exciting to start digging into again. I don't anticipate managing to hit the wordcount -- two years ago I was still at the print shop with many days off, and this year I'll be working on a pretty intense (AND SO COOL you guys HNNG I hate NDAs) new show during november.

That said, I'm looking forward to lunctimes at coffee shops and TL and I spending a ton of weekend hours typing intensely at our respective laptops and iPads. There's something so purely intense about NaNo, man.

What's Huevember?

[jkatkina]

It's an art challenge where you do a picture or sketch per day based specifically around a hue on the colour wheel! Colour is my jam, but I'm slow when doing personal work, so I find it challenging but very enjoyable.

My huevember tag, and an example Huevember colour wheel made by my wife.

Oh man, that looks so cool, and also super-challenging and out of my comfort zone!
