I didn't know you were doing this as well. I did, clandestinely (sorta), and finished on the last day with 54k words. This was the first year I ever heard of Nanowrimo, I had a friend here in the cities who wanted to read a story, any story, written by me, so I went off and did it. Of course, my easiest subject to write about was about BAR characters... though it focuses only on Dark Chasms and my Arcane Archer, Marcus. It does allude to say, Bloodaxe, but only to explain some past events. right now, said friend is editing the story, but hopefully it will be in a readable form soon. I'll post more about this on mhoc Brandon… did you ever finish this? I didn’t know you were doing this as well. I did, clandestinely (sorta), and finished on the last day with 54k words.

right now, said friend is editing the story, but hopefully it will be in a readable form soon.

I’ll post more about this on mhoc

As you know from our times with B.A.R. I can spin plenty of senarios of the top of my head as well. When I was on Staff with the Frontier I helped several DMs come up with storylines and senarios on the fly. I'd be in game and get a PM of, "Need your help, quick!" from a DM. I'd ask for a couple points of interest in what they wanted and in a minute or two would be spewing forth a crazy plot with alternatives and what not. Not to toot my own horn or anything. Not to mention I suffer from the inability to stay focused on one thing for to long as well. AND, I've always wanted to put one of my many stories to paper. I've even started in the past only to wander elsewhere. When at B.A.R. I think I hurt myself. I wrote and wrote and wrote. I had more posts and stories on those forums that if you put all them together it would have been a a LOT of pages. I wrote so much there that since B.A.R. crashed and burned I haven't posted a single write up beyond a character background. Not that I had writers block, but because I was tired and the will and want was no longer there. My reemergence, I should get your new border collie mix to spell these things for me, into pen and paper (sort of) has gotten those juices flowing again and I find myself on the verge of once again posting write-ups and stories from my character's point of view. I don't want to rush it and say ah hell I shouldn't have done that. Not to mention I'm not the most literate of folks. I'm the product of the world's two worst spellers, and I may as well throw in typists. If it weren't for spellcheck I'd look like a complete moron. My grammer usage isn't a great deal better. When I do write my stories I have a hard time stying in the proper tense. Either way brudda, if you'd like some help in your endevor I'm more than willing to help out. Perhaps two ADDs = one focusable person. I have stories in my head, I can spin tales nearly at the drop of a hat, and we both have many of the same things in mind. Anyway the offer is always open man. fairdady You are not the only one my friend. As you know from our times with B.A.R. I can spin plenty of senarios of the top of my head as well.
