News


Well, it's been a long time since I've updated. I finished my final year exams this month, and since I didn't study for it, I'm hoping I've done enough work this year for me to do well enough to get the course I want at Uni. Meanwhile, all my friends have gone up north to Kalbarri to celebrate graduation, and I got left behind cause my dad wouldn't let me go :raincloud:

To soothe that rough spot (as if anything could soothe that spot), I'm determined to finish NaNo this year, so that I can say there was a valid reason as to why I didn't go. I must say, considering since I've only had 17 days to write, 35k is an accomplishment. 3 days left of NaNo, and if I can pull off 5k a day, I'll be able to win NaNo for the second year in a row. :phew: But at this time last year, I was around 30k as well, and I managed to win, so I know I can do it again if I try.



Finally! After a month of waiting, my new Canon Powershot G10 has arrived. I love my new camera, and I swear, if I spin those dials anymore, they're gonna wear out before I can do anything with it :noes: But they're so fun to spin! =D

During this holidays, I'm going to be indulging myself in photography sessions, so be on the lookout for new deviations! I promise I won't flood your inbox with deviations. I only pick the best photos :)



So my one year subscription for dA is almost up, and I'm ashamed to say I haven't been using it well. :( In fact, quite the opposite of productive. Instead of uploading deviations, I have been cleaning out my gallery. I've decided that I'm going to be serious about using dA for as a site for art, and not just a place to upload my stuff. So I've raised the bar a little, and now I'm only going to upload the best I can give.

In addition to photography, I'm planning to take up writing short stories again after NaNo. I have a nice little notebook all prepared for it. Soon, soon my gallery will be filled again :evillaugh: Oh how I have missed writing... I'm coming back soon my love :heart:

Note to self: Remember to renew subscription




Quill Cafe


Presenting

:iconquill-cafe:

A place to chat about your current writing projects, get encouragement and feedback from fellow writers and get whipped back into shape when procrastination and writer's block strikes!:writersblock:



QuillCafe is a brand new writer's chat. From here onwards, you'll be able to find me in there as long as I'm online :) It's that comfy.

It's for all writers, whether you're a Novelist; Short Story, Poetry, Script, Song or Omnivourous Writer; or just a Critiquer.

To keep updated with this new and uprising chat, go on over and look at :iconcinnamon-quill:'s page. In addition to the new chat, cinnamon-quill (I refrain from saying (s)he for specific reasons =D) will be having Daily Prompts. How many prompts do you want a day? Go vote on the poll now to have your say.

Just a note, procrastinators will be put in something we call the 'The Box'. As self-appointed test bunny, I have tried it out, and I can tell you, you don't want to be put in there. Although, it is an ideal place to be put in if you really want to get work done =D

So come on down and drop into #QuillCafe for a bit. We have cookies! :iconcookieteaseplz:

nothing is better than to see the world between the ears of a horse
:iconmnightswolf:
No... because that was my entry for a contest too...

When stars grace the heavens
And planets spin in their dance
When sleeping celestials awaken
Until that day...
:iconflamehorse:
Oh. Sorry. Good luck if your taking the contest too! I can't wait to see your video. ^_^
