Today is the first day of NaNoWriMo. I don't expect my steam for it to last very long, but I do hope it kinda nudges me to get some words down. I'm setting my sights pretty low and hoping I can score 10,000 words. I'm thinking of actually putting The English World to good use and posting up my day-to-day writes and calling them, uh, exercises or something.

I've settled on calling the story "Tatters" for now (a conglomeration of "The Adventures of Tati and Robyn", Taotar, tatter) and even made a snazzy NaNoWriMo profile. Maybe we can start a club.

On to the tutorials. My two most recent art postings have been utilizing this weird faux-watercolor technique that I got through washable markers. I think I'll make a tutorial for how to do it, even if it is slap-your-head easy. I'm also sorely tempted to push that further and make it a .gif tutorial - IE, you'd get to see animations of things rather than having to guess through photos or watch a video.

And finally, it's Trip's birthday today. That is so weird. It seems like just three years ago this little kid wandered into Chat and was all "8D HI!" and stuff. Now we have jokes about 20 questions and splashy ninjas. Poor kid got raised by weirdos.

...Uh, what was the point of that. Dunno. Happy birthday, kiddo!
