NaNoWriMo = MouseSheep

[saint_of_me]

So, mostly because of Hailero, I signed up for NaNo and started writing yesterday. MouseSheep is my username because in the particular fantasy world I created the mouse and sheep switch places. It's mice who are herded and kept for their fur, it's sheep who scurry about in the pantry looking for crumbs. It's not a story about mice and sheep, it'

I don't think hoarding food is a bad idea. If money becomes worthless then food could be the new gold. (You can't eat gold afterall). I always hear it's good to have a lot of savings (we don't but I'm perfectly willing to admit that is Steve's and my own shortcomings ... and we're working on it ... we just haven't squirreled away a lot). Though I often wonder if savings will be worth it. If the dollar isn't worth anything than having many of them in the bank does you no good at all

Ah, if only we had manga in the States like they do in Japan! That's the kind of venue where I think Nano could get published and look fantastic.

Ah, I am afraid that if I have some one read my stuff without totally bashing it I will become a monster of ego and insist that it be published, even at my own expense. Then I will sit on the street corner selling books that I wrote myself. Doom doom doomy doom.

I hath added you as a Buddy.

Random: I wish sheep really were that small, pocket sized for my convenience. I like sheep a lot better than I like mice. (Probably cuz the mouse that moved in at Christmas when we were on vacation two years ago did a ton of damage in our kitchen).

I wonder what you could make with tiny sheep wool ... probably not even mittens. Maybe thumbwarmers!

Frakkin' LJ.

Didn't log me in. So you have two anon comments by me floating around, assuming they even posted. At all.

American Manga?

Aw. Your stuff posted! Hm, I wonder if one could start up a manga company in the States? The stuff certainly seems to be selling in Maryland. More and more people are recognizing the value of comic books for artistic-ness and for people who don't just read line after line of text. I mean, people who like pictures, you know? And there are all these publishing companies that are going belly up for whatever reason. (Generally I think because their goal was to publish stuff that is more easily viewed on the internet with an automatic search function.) The fact that publishing companies are going belly-up means that there is equipment out there for publishing stuff. Hm.
