Last Day to First Day!

Dear Readers, Followers, cart managers, and hamster barristers.
As you've read, we included ourselves in last years Camp NaNoWriMo, the summer version for the November trial to write.
But this year, the Camp has become so popular that it has expanded out of the warm spells to the month of April, and we've all three decided to do ti again this year!
As this is the day ramping up to the midnight strike starting, we thought we'd give one more before-April post before we unsheathe our pens, bare our computers, and do battle with the terrible Sore Thumbs, the juggernaut Writer's Block, and the well named, inescapable force, Deadline.
As something for you to think about, here is the schedule for what new, old and middle aged things we will put forward probably in April, and certainly in May.
The Weekly Draconian: An innovation to the Draconian World, giving interviews with well-known Draconian persons, closeup stories on the latest scandals, adverts, and distinct intelligence into
The Draconian Letters: Messrs. Trubodox, Semithino and Scaligar will be back in fully fledged glory as they come together to rescue a misunderstood damsel, fight like ferrets in a bag for the sunday paper, and continue to barrage Smok with advice, intel, harrowing tales and outright crossbow threats.
The Riddle Ogre: Sometime or other our procrastinations will fall short and we'll finish the story.
Exclusive Fantasy Interviews: The blog will host several more unusual characters, sporting strange tails, stranger tales, and sometimes even interesting perspectives.
Riddling Derbies: Yet again we shall come, we shall see, and we shall solve some more of the various riddles and poetical puzzles we stake to the board.
Short Stories: As ever, we'll shoe horn in a few novellas, maybe some poetry, and with only a few lumps in them.
Thats all for now, and quite enough for anytime.
As Caesar would say, Jacta Alaea Esto.
Let the games begin.

Announcement (of sorts)

Hey, it's J. Baner. T & Z are traveling to distant lands across the world, so I get to sit here in the central United States and write to you.

We're going to talk about some stuff today, and I'll just list it out for you right here before we begin:

The Draconian Letters
Books
NaNoWriMo
The Future
Other stuff I throw in at random

All right, we've got some basic guidelines for our discussion.

Concerning TDL, or The Draconian Letters, as it were, I am sure you readers have come to realize that the bloggers in charge of this establishment are horrific procrastinators, manic truth-stretchers, and sometimes even outright liars. We promise you more letters soon: we give you none. We say we'll be active from now on: we don't post for two months. Stuff like that makes us unreliable.

By the dawn of 2014, we plan to change that. We will jettison Iron Wyvern into a new era of peace, prosperity, and pepper grenades. Explosions at every turn; regular content; anything and everything blogworthy, we will post. We will post so much cool stuff your eyeballs will bleed by the time we're done with you.

Books. That's next on my list. Reading any cool books? Books are amazing. I'm currently reading A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, among other things, and I must say, it's pretty darn good.

But enough about reading books. Let's talk about writing books. I will be participating in NaNoWriMo this year, but I do not think T & Z will. As I mentioned before, they are at an undisclosed location overseas (think Europe). They're going to be there a couple of days into November, and I'm pretty sure they don't want to ruin the vacation with worrying about writing deadlines.

The Future. Oooh. The Future of the blog, the Future of the world, whatever, you name it.

We plan to get production going in December, January, around that time. We will bombard and maraud you with posts galore, and we will try to continue that barrage until either June or July, when we will take breaks for Camp NaNoWriMo (depending on when each of us is participating, or if we are at all); after this, we will march on until November and pause once more. You get the idea. We won't stop, we won't let up, except for notable occasions and prescheduled breaks.

I know what you're thinking; you're thinking we won't be able to do it. Perhaps not, but I have a feeling we will.

Have fun, anyway, and don't forget to visit the exclusive Flying Llama Sightseeing Area!

Announcement: Camp NaNoWriMo Completed!

Welcome, dear readers of the insane hamster domination sagas we spew out every now and then. If you're an insane hamster with a plan for world domination, pardon the joke, please.

We three, the legendary JTZ (haha I rhymed; did you see that? I bet you didn't!), came together in the great month of July with a quest for words, and we prevailed with outstanding superbness! If that's not a word, it should be. We all signed up for Camp NaNoWriMo (look it up if you don't know what it is) and we all succeeded in macho fashion after a deathly battle with such foes as Writer's Block, Distraction (that was definitely my biggest foe), Annoyance, the Inner Editor, and all other forces of Chaos! Hurray!

If any of ye readers also participated in NaNoWriMo, even if you didn't succeed, leave a comment notifying us of your achievement and we will congratulate you in our next post.

Meanwhile, to unveil the first additions to our 2013 Writing Hall of Flame Fame:

Camp NaNoWriMo: Death to Writer's Block

Readers all. As you know, both my fellow bloggers, J and T Baner, have participated in the literary cooperation known as NaNoWriMo. Having succeeded both, they continued on in their lives. But, as it happened, J Baner entered into Camp NaNoWriMo just a few months past. Camp NaNoWriMo being entirely similar to normal November NaNoWriMo, save for its online cabins, and accessible virtual s'mores.
This July, all three of the Baner personality have accumulated such adverse manifestations of literary matter as the beginnings of an unnamed space trilogy, a partially publicized medley of myth, and a multi-genre victorian era adventure.
And so, likely this blog will be visited by the untold futures of these mysterious stories. the eighth month of this year could herald the unveiling of three new, NaNoWriMo-born, narratives.
Until our next meeting,
-Z Baner
