2011

A new year. First month almost over in a day. Darn. Where did all that time go? Anyways I am trying to get back into writing as I haven't really had time to take pictures this winter. Dusting off my old rough drafts from 2007/2008. It's amazing what I find. I think I was a better writer then...but then again there are also things needing revision. Some revision needs are huge and others are just plain annoying little awkward errors.

For those just tuning into my blog or stumbling upon it, I write stories about insect people. These guys aren't the creepy icky looking things you find outside. They are people with insect-like features, without the creepy mandibles. One of those great things that bothered me was what I called the older workers taking care of the children in the colony. I called them "Caregivers" but I feel "Guide" is more suited to their role.

Interestingly when I started writing this whole thing (back in 6th and 7th grade, wow!) I used to call them "Guides". Now I am going back. There are other things to sort out, but I'll take those things as I come to them. Most notably their history, and other things I rather not spoil by saying here. If you stumble upon samples in my blog that show inconsistency, that is probably why. I plan to go back and change the story samples on my blog (Artwork and writing), but it may be a while yet. My priorities are working on the actual rough drafts.

This guy looks like he can answer just about any question you may have about ant folk....


Or maybe not. LOL.
