Watchers

So, I'm posting my first draft of my novel at WritersCafe. It's slow going - I have about 3 times as much written as posted.

However, if you'd like to check it out and give me some feedback (here or at WC) I'd appreciate it.

You can find the posted chapters here.

As this is the first draft, I'm not particularly concerned with punctuation or spelling errors. I'm far more interested in your thoughts on pacing, story progression, characters, etc.

I have already noticed that my first few chapters had an excessive amount of passive voice. That will definitely be getting fixed.

I first got interested in visual arts back in junior high school. Unfortunately, my art teacher was not too impressive, and I didn't get hooked as well as I could have. Soon I was more focused on music and computers.

So now here I am, 20 years later, trying to catch up. :)

I do my writing in Celtx at this time. I'm working on a novel, currently titled The Apprentice. It's an urban fantasy.

My digital art is created primarily in GIMP and MyPaint. Both are open source projects that are available for Windows and Linux.

In the world of physical media, I'm a big fan of oil paint (M. Graham is my line of choice for now) and colored pencil.

Three things.

1) I'm sorry I missed another Alchemy Chaos thingy. Been... distracted. Is it still running or is it on hold?

2) You haven't been very active. No weekly submissions or new comics in my feed. I guess the baby is a handful?

3) I'm sorry about missing your birthday. I lose track of things easily. Happy belated b-day.

1. No one has submitted anything. I guess it's done.

2. The baby has been very much a handful. Also my wife had kidney stones which took me out of the loop for comics. Then Andrew had work craziness so he wasn't writing scripts. I'm just about to start drawing for tomorrow.

3. No worries! But thank you very much nonetheless. I see you have one coming up, too. Happy Birthday, in case I am not online that day. :)
