I forget about this so much

I've had a lot happen in the last year. A lot of it good, a lot of it bad, and a lot in between. But that's life, really.

I am not as fond of using dA as I used to be. Interface is a little screwy, some of the attitudes, divas, etc. really don't help. Having my own sites and Tumblr to play around with doesn't help that much either. (I'll link all my new contact info soon enough though :) )

What else, what else...?

My novel goes well. About 38k, almost 39k typed up. I'm one of those who writes by hand then types up what I have. Find I make better cuts and edits and additions than trying to free type the entire thing. I get some great additions free typing--and I used to do all my writing, particularly back in my fanfiction days, like that--but I have a more solid rough to look back to without it getting swallowed up/saved over. Everyone needs to do what they need to do, whatever works for them as far as methodology goes. 

Microsoft Word on my main writing machine needs a full version of 2007 since the 2010 that came preloaded on my Win7 machine is broken like all MW from that time frame (i.e. auto-save is a bitch and freezes the entire thing). But since I now have a gaming rig with Win8 so at least part of my writing machine's burden will be lifted. Still, I've been using ZenWriter for most of my typing up process since I can at least free type without worrying about stupid spelling errors, MW whining about their grammar rules (which are skewed), or some other distraction. Just me, words, and soothing music.

More comic stuff on the way, more of my writing/goofiness, and another few projects coming along.

Oh! Forgot to mention! My novel is the first in a long-planned series called Trinity, the first 'arc' is called Anathema, and the first book that I'm working on presently is called Pinion. Hopefully by Christmas next year I'll be finished and 2015 will see a self-published book (probably digital to start). We'll see how I go, however. This is a very long series and while the average novel is about 60k words, at nearly 40k, I am not even close. I have yet begun to fight!

Anyway, hope all you lovelies are doing well. I'm sorry I don't upload much on here but it's been an exercise in futility. I might upload some of my fan stuff on here (for funsies) as well as a spec script for Supernatural season 7 that didn't get picked up that I wrote back in March of last year.




Much love,
~Stasia :heart:

oho, seems like you're doing great! I'm not on DA often either. Take care and keep having fun! :)
