Ended my novel for National Novel Writing Month at 50257 words. Granted, a good third or so of it is comprised of things I'll just edit out in a few days and my own notes. And I won't lie, I copped out on the ending too. I just wrote paraphrased notes as to what happened for the last, eh, half of the book, really. I mean hey, I realized earlier today that I was only sitting at about half the story so I needed to rush things, mmkay?
Anyway! Now that I've finished, I'll give you guys some more quotes!

*99 flagons of Trollpuncher Fourex ale on the wall, 99 flagons of Trollpuncher Fourex ale.
Pass one 'round, chug it all down, 98 flagons of Trollpuncher Fourex ale on the wall.
....
1 bottle of beer on the wall, 1 bottle of beer.
Pass one 'round, chug it all down, no more flagons of Trollpuncher Fourex ale on the wall.
No more flagons of Trollpuncher Fourex ale on the wall, no more flagons of Trollpuncher Fourex ale.
Go to the store and buy some more, 99 flagons of Trollpuncher Fourex ale on the wall.
And if any of these flagons should happen to fall, we’ll get a troll to punch that damn wall!”


*The vampire groaned, squeezing his eyes shut. “I wath thuppothed to be in Bat Country today.”
There was a short silence that was quickly broken by Nyx’s uncontrollable snickering. The cat leapt onto the table, prodding the vampire’s side gently with one paw. “Aw, he is a newie!”
“What do you mean?” Fletcher asked, staring down at her.
“Open your mouth,” Nyx commanded the vampire. He complied, after giving her a look. “Look,” Nyx told Fletcher, pointing. He leaned forward to see two long, sharp teeth in the vampire’s mouth that almost touched his bottom lip. “He’s just recently been turned,” Nyx said. “Looks to me like his fangs have finally settled in. At first, they start off small, but they grow a little every day. Most vampires take a while to deal with talking around them at first, thus his lisp."


*“The Twisted Tower,” Corbin said, gazing upwards at it. “It’s also called the Suddenly Appearing Tower because nobody seems to be able to notice it until they’re almost right in front of it. Even those who know exactly where it is and are watching for it can’t see anything until they’re close enough.”
“Sometimes, those who aren’t paying attention at all don’t notice it until they walk right into it,” Nyx added with a snicker. “In that case, it’s often called That Damned Tower! Exclamation points to be added or subtracted as you please.”


*After a few minutes, he noticed that the place had become hushed. He blinked and turned, gasping when he noticing a tall figure in a black robe sitting in the skeletal chair. The first thing that Fletcher noticed was the figure’s head. It wasn’t a human head, nor was it a human skull like he’d half expected it to be. Instead, the god’s head was a ram’s skull, with black horns curling elegantly on either side of its head and ending in sharp points that came just above his shoulders. There were faint pinpricks of red light in the empty eye sockets. He saw the god’s hands next, resting lightly on the screaming dragon skulls on the ends of the chair’s arms. His hands weren’t skeletal nor hooves; they were human hands, but they looked grey and withered as if the skin was dead and stretched over the bones. His fingers were also unnaturally long.

Yeah, that first thing, the 99 Flagons song... The whole thing's in my novel. Twice! I wasn't in the mood to write one day and I was behind, you see. Ahem.
As for the third quote, The Twisted Tower is one of the many weird towers on the magical place of the Mageland. Whee.
The last one is a description of Otheld's god of death, N'Zumann. Just thought I'd share one of those crazy gods with you. :3

Wellp, that was fun. Time to spend the next few months editing the shit outta this thing. Whee. 8D

Got Left 4 Dead 2 last night. It's freaking awesome! My only complaint is the different music for the Witch. In the original game, the music was creepy. In this one, I just find it annoying. :< Oh well.

So! For National Novel Writing Month, I currently sit at 34,050 words. I plan on adding at least 1,000 more tonight. So it's going really, really well! And when I'm finished, I'll spend October editing this thing and theeen I can use my special winner's code to get my book in actual book form. For FREE. 8D
(Also I can sell it on Amazon if I want, but I dunno if I will. It's a little crazy at the moment.)

For anybody who's interested, I'm gonna give you some excerpts and stuff from my novel! It's about this guy who stumbles into another world full of zombies, dragons, magic, crazy gods, etc, so it's weird.

*He’d only worked at the Smiling Gull for about a week, cooking the various seafood items on the menu. His cooking had been the problem and the reason for his involuntary separation. It’s not that he was a bad cook, far from it. He just had a tendency to spice up his dishes. A lot. Even the dishes that didn’t need anything even vaguely resembling a pepper. Just two days ago, Fletcher had been baking some garlic bread and thought that it’d be so much nicer if there was a little Cajun seasoning mixed in with the garlic. “A little” for Fletcher was a lot too much for the customer who’d ordered the bread and complained that biting into the bread had caused her tongue to catch fire. Also she was allergic to the Cajun seasoning.


*“Aagh! Zombie!” Fletcher screamed, jumping backwards and, having tripped, falling on his backside. “Zombie! Oh my god! Oh my god, a real zombie! Don’t eat me!”
“Eat you? Why would I do that?” the dead man exclaimed in an offended voice. “I’ve only just met you and we don’t know each other’s names! It’d be terribly rude of me to eat you without having known you first. You must think me some sort of monster.”


*One of the stores, called Zombies ‘R We, had several mannequins standing beside the display windows. They all were clothed in what looked like dresses and suits made from rotted bacon, fresh bacon, or what suspiciously looked like human skin. One of the mannequins was wearing a pair of those goofy glasses with the fake eyes on little springs, only with the way this world worked, Fletcher suspected that the eyes were real. It was rather morbid, yet funny in a sense.
“I love this store!” Corbin exclaimed. “Let’s go inside!”
“I’d rather not,” Nyx said, twitching her nose in distaste. “It’s disgusting.”
“I’ll go in with you,” Fletcher said, though he didn’t quite know why. Morbid curiosity, he supposed. Corbin grinned and led the way into the shop. There were racks of clothing, some of it made from the bacon or skin as seen in the display windows, some of it real clothes. Corbin made his way to the back of the store, Fletcher following while holding his nose against the dreadful smell that was assaulting his nostrils. He hadn’t expected any less, however.
“This is a good part,” the zombie commented, gesturing at the lines of shelves. Fletcher gaped at them. They appeared to contain various body parts. There was a case of short arms, a case of long arms, a case of hairy legs, a case of smooth legs, further cases with different lengths of leg… Fletcher closed his mouth firmly, trying not to retch as he looked around. There, cases of eyes assorted by color. A sign above them proclaimed “Eyes, sometimes used”. There were fingers, toes, even wigs of hair.


*“So, vampires really burst into flames in the sunlight?” Fletcher asked, eyeing the unconscious vampire.
“Of course,” Nyx replied. “What did you expect them to do? Sparkle?”

There ya have it. Yeah, pretty silly. And yes, that last bit IS what you think it is. 'Cause /Twilight, amirite.

I'm writing a book in 30 days. This is why I'll be online even less than usual! <3 National Novel Writing Month. But it's crazy. However, 50k words by the end of November totally seems doable this year right now. Whoo!

Also, I really wish my dad would fix my scanner. |<

So, despite the news being old, I only JUST found out today that a World War Z movie is in the works. If you don't know what WWZ is, it's by the same guy who did the Zombie Survival Guide. Oral history of the zombie war, mmm.
NOW. The movie screenplay was leaked onto the Internet ages ago. HOWEVER, despite my best Googling efforts and despite it having been out for quite a while now, I cannot find it.
...

Gonna go be emo in tha corner now, kthnx Internet. |<

Go see District 9. Go see it now.
