It’s almost the end of September, and the past couple of months have been a blur. Dave and I have both been busy with the Seven Stars as well as many non-Seven Stars related things.
Dave celebrated a birthday and a housewarming. Thankfully, I had great excuse that was probably legit for not helping him move the heavy stuff.
It was a great celebration, replete with a backyard campfire, gratuitous amounts of alcohol, and Cards Against Humanity (what’s a girl’s best friend? A squadron of moles wearing aviator goggles).
I’ve been keeping busy with several writing projects, The Seven Stars, of course, being one of them.
I’ve been trying to come up with an atypical hero story for my friends at Artifice Comics, which is proving to be a venture in uncharted grounds for me.
Lastly, I’ve been plugging away at a novel since April of this year, and it’s genesis came from the image below.
Dave and I brainstormed an idea about a group of divinely blessed warriors that were eternally bound for war, and what would happen when their battle was finally over.
The plot that came from that bears little in the way of the same story, but the DNA of the world is there, specifically in the way the warriors receiving their “blessings”. I hope to have the first draft finished by the end of November. Currently it’s sitting at 66,000 words.
In other news, Dave and I are playing Dungeons & Dragons again for the first time in about thirteen years. We have one session under our belts and, as the DM, I can't wait to lay down the hurt on my group.
In the coming weeks, we’ll hopefully have some new artwork to share. Dave has been working on simplifying the art style to make the process less time consuming while still keeping it up to his usual level of awesomeness.
But we want to hear more from you! What would you like to see next? A fight scene? List of characters? A few pages of dialogue? Let us know!
