@kelly- It shouldn't be any more than maybe 5,000 to 10,000 more words but I'm not sure. I kind of decided the ending I had in mind is kinda unsatisfactorily simple. Honestly my biggest problem is that I have no real/clear justification for the bird man/its actions and I think I need to find one. Once I find it I think the ending will fall in place... Hopefully.

I was deleting over used words, like felt/feel, it was more interesting than I thought because I realized I was using in place of a more direct meaning or where there could be more of an action if that makes sense.

I'm currently posting one of my short stories that my wonderful sister edited. I'm going in-between that and writing my sci fi plant horror story I've been occasionally working on here (A.K.A. The Nerdiest Thing I've Ever Written). Speaking of my sister she says she likes that one so far. Hoorah! ratkitten.wordpress.com/

Tremendous. I shall read it sometime soon. Man, I couldn't sleep at all last night, but reflecting on it maybe I slept sometimes but I didn't feel like I was sleeping. Then today some time around two I kept falling off, but it wasn't like drowsing out, because as much as I wanted to sleep, I didn't feel like it was going to happen, but I was useless and cranky and it happened anyway.
Mmmmmmmm WUAAAARGGGGH I gotta get in more editing.

I DID IT! I finished a way better ending to my story and got it submitted to that thingie with less than two hours to go. ZOMG. I took it from 75 k down to 68 k and then back up to 75k How is everyone doing? I'm ready to start posting more specific assignments this week.

Yay! I sent mine an hour ago. It was a nice break from work. Did you get a confirmation email from the thingie? I was directed to a "good job, you submitted yay" web page, but no "good job, you submitted yay" email, and that makes me paranoid.

On the FAQ page, they said if you got the page, you're cool, specifically addressing the "no e-mail" issue... if I remember that right.

I would do a new thread for this, but there's only a few people involved, so it may as well be here.
THE HORROR BOYS NANOWRIMO COVER CHALLENGE!
Collectors Indea & DeeKender, I'm trying to take care of my art jobs today, including a few other covers I'm doing for NaNo winners from the official site. So what would you like for your covers?
Just because I make a cover doesn't mean you're obligated to use it as-is. If you want to use it but change the colors, or use it B&W was an inside title page or get it redesigned by a more fancy styled pro, I am not offended. This isn't going to be thousand dollar quality as far as my efforts go, but it should be pretty cool.
Gimme the haps and I'll begin it ASAP. -

Awesome! Thanks so much Chris, you rock! I think something with the gazebo in the park at nighttime, it's be cool if you could draw it on an odd angle ( I don't want to make it difficult so any angle is fine really). I'd like an animal in there, perhaps magpie in there somewhere or a possum perhaps on the roof? Then a glowing mobile phone on the ground and some bugs about the place. Thanks. Really I'll be happy with whatever you produce so feel free to take creative leave-way with it. I'd like the general feel to be creepy and slightly off.

Thank you, Chris! ;D I have some ideas for the cover, but they're pretty flexible, so I'm up for any changes/suggestions/questions you may have. 1) Silhouettes of the scientists (black on a solid color), with a lot of liberty for body type interpretation. 2) Minimalist test tube with blood or minimalist lab coat with gunshot hole and blood. Because minimalist book covers are "in" right now. 3) Lab rat sitting on a gun. Sinister. Also, if you're incorporating the title into the image, a bold/colorful font similar to the kind used in vintage comic books or mystery/science fiction magazines like the examples below would be fun (though not necessarily yellow color): Thank you again!!!
