Hello there, fans of fantasy and friends of Tellest!<\/p>\n

This next month-and-a-half is definitely going to be a busy one for us. Let\u2019s get the most awesome news out of the way first.\u00a0 Rhianna and I are getting marriedon Saturday<\/span><\/span>!\u00a0 In a lot of ways, Tellest brought us together, so I thought that this was a fair place to announce the happy occasion.\u00a0 We\u2019ve got some wedding-related goodies that we\u2019ll be posting on the site in the next few weeks as well, but other than that, we\u2019ll probably be a little quiet until we\u2019re back from sunny Florida.<\/p>\n

Luckily, I\u2019m leaving you with a decent amount of news as well!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0NaNoWriMo<\/div>\n
National Novel Writing Month<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

First off, I\u2019d like to formally announce my first ever entry into NaNoWriMo<\/a>.\u00a0 For those who don\u2019t know what it is, NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month.\u00a0 It\u2019s a challenge for authors to write at least 50,000 words in the 30 days of November.\u00a0 Those of you who have been following Tellest for a while are probably well aware that it is a real challenge for me.\u00a0 The Fall <\/em>took me almost half a year to write, and it didn\u2019t even have 50,000 words in it by the time it was complete.\u00a0 I\u2019m committed to the attempt though, and I\u2019m going to give it my all.\u00a0 In November, I\u2019ll give you more information about the story I\u2019m writing, and give you previews and excerpts so that you can join in on the fun as well!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also got some very cool collaboration news to talk about.\u00a0 Earlier this year I began working with some fine folks at Worldspinner<\/a>.\u00a0 Their Kickstarter absolutely crushed it last September, and they\u2019ve been making great strides to bring a wonderful product to the world.\u00a0 It\u2019s a worldbuilding tool that both gamers and authors can use to help with that process.\u00a0 It\u2019s an amazing tool with a lot of potential to make your tabletop games, your world lore and your stories in general exponentially more robust.\u00a0 I\u2019m just freelancing at the moment, proofreading and offering up some smaller plots that may randomly show up, but I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of their huge story!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Last but not least, I\u2019d like to direct your attention to Bear Mountain Books<\/a>.\u00a0 They\u2019ve graciously decided to take the cover for Mageborn<\/em> and poll their readers about it.\u00a0 So far, it seems that the cover image itself is appreciated, but the font and even the logo may be a little confusing.\u00a0 I love what Bear Mountain Books and Maria Schneider are doing for authors (and for readers) and I encourage you to give the site a gander.\u00a0 And you might as well like theirFacebook page<\/a> as well\u2014you\u2019ll be the first to know about deals, reviews and book cover polls like the one running for Mageborn<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
