Fold-Over Mitten-Gloves

One of my goals for the year is to knit a pair of mittens.  Well, I couldn't decide which ones to do, so now I am doing a pair of mitten-gloves.  They are the ones that have the individual spots for the fingers, but have the flap that goes over to make them look like mittens.  I will be posting up some pictures later on of what I have done when there is enough done to tell what it is going to look like somewhat.

On a side note, Ani-Fi has been cancelled.  *sadness*  There was not enough interest sadly, so it has been moved to next year.  Hopefully enough people will become interested in it for next year so that it will happen.  Will just have to wait and see though.

Anime Convention

I am so happy to see that there is going to be an Anime Convention in my home town this year!  Which means that I will be able to go and not have to worry about any traveling expenses~

What is even more awesome is I am going to rent a table so that I can sell items that I have made and hopefully make a decent amount of money.  For those of you who might be wondering which convention it is, it is the Ani-Fi convention.  Linky:Ani-Fi

As of right now, I have two starfish completed, with enough legs to make two more.  I plan on making at least 20 of them altogether, though I don't know how well they will sell to be honest....Anywho, I also plan on having hats, scoodies, bracelets, and even cute little mushrooms, some of will be filled with catnip~

Unknown Destiny

I have decided that while I am in the editing process, I would post up my novel, part by part on deviantart!  Please note, when the novel is finished and in the process of being published, it will be taken down.

This is part one, which I have just posted up.  You do not need to be a member to read this one, but the next part has an explicit scene it, which requires that I do the necessary precautions that those under 18 do not read it.  Which means that you will have to be a member in order to read some of the parts.

Etsy, NaNoWriMo, and Granny in Style: Around the World

I have three things I would like to talk about today.  The first being Etsy.  I have set up my own shop on Etsy in order to sell items that I have made.  If you would like to check out what I have in there at the moment this is the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/schidi

Note, the shop has not been updated in a couple of months, so I am currently in the process of adding more items to it as well as updating other information.  Please feel free to look whenever you want to though~

In my previous posts, I have mentioned NaNoWriMo and how I was hoping to be a winner this year.  Well, I obtained winner status at 50,002 words.  For now, my novel is being set to the side while I take care of Christmas presents that need to be made.  I do plan on finishing and publishing my novel sometime next year hopefully, after which, I will be starting on the sequel to the novel.

And last, but not least, there is a blog that I stumbled across one day.  Link: http://grannyinstyle.blogspot.com/p/around-world.html.  I feel that this is a wonderful idea that Nina has come up with.  Her goal is to get a square from each state that shows how people are the same/different.  What is she going to do with the squares?  She is going to turn them into a blanket~

So please check out her blog, and it would be even more wonderful if you were to participate to help her out. 

Anyways, that is all that I have to talk about for now.  Bye~

Update

I am on track for NaNoWriMo with a total of 40,162 words.  That means only 9,838 words to go.  :D  I started off strong at the beginning, however, around half way through I encountered writers block.  Not only that, but my laptop was pretty much out of commission for a few days.  Once I got it back, I have had to work my butt off in order to get back on track.

NaNoWriMo update

I am officially 10 days into nano.  My grand total at the moment is 22,044 words in my novel titled "Unknown Destiny"

My novel is a fantasy novel.  Don't expect any explanations though as it is quite hard to describe.  I can tell you however, that my characters are all Zoenthropes.  In this case, they are humanoid figures with fox ears, and a fox tail.

 Not only that, but they live in an alternate land and their lives are similar to those of the Native Americans.  Currently, I have two tribes.  The Dragonian Tribe, and the Trigon Tribe who are currently in a state of unstable peace.  War is imminent between the two tribes.

I plan on ending my first novel of the series with the war about to begin, making way for the sequel which is unamed, and not being thought too much about seeing as I have 21 more days to write this current novel.  As time goes on, I plan on keeping you updated.  :)

NaNoWriMo!

So I decided that I am crazy recently because I am going to attempt National Novel Writing Month again this year.  What it is: You have the month of November to write 50,000 (could be more) words of a novel.  What is the reward you ask?  The fact that you have written a complete, or mostly complete novel.  Some people do go on to get published afterwords.  You also get to meet people in your area that love to write as well, leading to wonderful support for all!  It is like your own personal cheering section.  I'm quite happy to have my newish laptop that doesn't have to be plugged in 24/7 to use this time around.  Last time, doing write-ins wasn't fun because if there wasn't any plugs available, I couldn't even write.  *sighs*  But that is all better now!  *happy dance* 

I plan to keep my blog updated with my process, including a word count of how far I have gotten as well as where I am at in my novel.
