Nanowrimo 2010

First of all, I wanted to remind you that there's only 3 days left before the submission deadline for the Amazing First Chapter contest.  We only have 4 entries, so you guys better get cracking!  :D  Surely you all must be nearly done with your edits by now... so send those chapters to me without any further delay.  The prizes are great, and you don't want to miss out.  Get them up there before there's no time left!

And now on to the subject of this post.

Do, do, do! *trumpet sounds*

Nanowrimo!

For those of you who don't know, the extremely funky word "Nanowrimo" actually stands for National Novel Writing Month in which participants from all over the world attempt to write 50k of a new novel in only 30 days.  I did Nano last year for the first time, and managed 40k before everything became too hectic for me.  This year, I'm going to try something a little different... perhaps even "forbidden" by some standards.  

Instead of writing 50k of a completely new novel, I'm going to attempt to REWRITE 50k of "Eldrei".

That's right; I'm being a rebel.  I'm crossing that line that should never be crossed... and I like it!

Well, in honor of my rebelism, I decided to create a book-trailer for Eldrei this year.  It took me most of a night and part of the next day, but I finally got it finished according to my standards.  Just a note, the photographs and pictures used belong to their respected owners, and the music is "Caislien Oir" done by Clannad.
