man...took a hiatus from my lj...just now trying to get back into the swing. been a long time since I have written anything substantial...and to be honest kinda miss it. although, what I wrote about wasnt really as much substantial as misc ramblings...~
...the sword is truth...

Totally off topic peregrine <o.@> but does your sig happen to be a reference to the Sword of Shanara?
/curious >.>
A Warrior's Friend: ID 335212 - Help Infernal save Valkyrie from Battle Maiden.
Above Mars Part 1: The Wellington: ID 159769 - Save Mars by destroying a monstrous battleship from the inside!
>.> My DA page, where I attempt to art.
nope....more a statement about history and how it is portrayed. that...and it just sounds plain cool for a sig...heh
in regards to the shanara series...for all the fantasy fiction I have read, I have yet to read any of those books.~
...the sword is truth...
~whiteperegrine~
<O.O> ooooo...
well that does make sense >.> with history being written by the victors <'x'>
I shall not spoil Shanara <'x'> But suffice to say, the sword really IS truth. If you ever feel like reading it >.> Start with First King - it was written as a prequel to the original book, but they actually read best if you read the prequel first oddly enough <,<;

Is anyone besides Mist and I participating in NaNoWriMo? I wouldn't mind putting together an 'Art Board support group' type thing on either Livejournal (preffered) or DA or something else all together.
I know lots of people from CoX participate. but, I only hang out on this board with any frequency. Sometimes Virtue, but 2 or three times a week as opposed to every couple of hours >.>
Anyway. Just curious....

These pieces show promise, I've been writing fiction for uh... <.< >.> a long time! both proffessionally (not as often as I'd like) and for myself (far more often). Short Pieces like these are not my favorite, but I've written quite a few of them, as they are both great practice and fun to read when very well written. (imo)
The biggest thing to remember about pieces under 500 words (and really, under 2000 words) is that Every. Word. Counts. I tend to approach 500 word pieces more like poetry than prose. They have a pacing and rhythm that is very distinctive from larger works. If you are curious, I have a couple on my LJ (see sig) that are examples of what I mean. Also, there are a couple of groups in my profile that are specifically for short 500 word works (non_plot specifically) The weekly writing challenges there are lots of fun.
You definatly are on the right track. Remember, writing is like drawing. If you don't practice it, you never improve.
