1 Week left for Chapter 2 Drawing Contest

Hey guys, I just sent off Chapter 11 to my awesome editor, Kayla Marie Ware, who has recently brought her new site online, check it out at chroniclefocuseditorial.com

This means, there is about 1 week left in Chapter 2's Drawing contest! Still time to submit entries.

What I'm looking for in these contests is for you to read the chapter and draw a scene from that chapter using only black and white.

Chapter 1's winning entry by Connie Walker (ryoki18@yahoo.com) is a perfect example:

Winners will have their entries placed in the final novel heading the chapters they are for with their names given well earned recognition, plus the contest's prize money.

Check out the contest page for more details on entering.

Meanwhile, I'll be beginning Chapter 12 of The Jellybane's rewrite.

Chapter 11 is Written!

In The Jellybane Chapter 11, 

Alice and her friends learn more of the pixies and their desire to see the jelly monsters vanquished. Twinkaleni, feeling the party can use this to improve their chances of survival in this dangerous forest, works to encourage exchanges between the girls and these potential allies.

 

The chapter is written and will be edited by me for the next few days for clean up and then sent over to my editor Kayla Marie Ware for a final go over.

Speaking of which, Kayla's brand new site has just come online at www.chroniclefocuseditorial.com/

where she offers her amazing services for all your editing needs.

She has proven time and time again to be an excellent editor for me and will no doubt prove the same to you.

As for the 2nd Chapter Art Drawing Contest, with the chapter down but in need of editing, there are only about two weeks left in this contest period, so be sure to submit your entries soon!

Chapter 3's contest will be held immediately after the conclusion of the 2nd which means more chances to win prize money and a place in the final novel!

Check out the contest page for information on entering.

Chapter 11 Progress

Hey guys, my editor has returned Chapter 10 of The Jellybane, edits have been made and now I am fully focused on Chapter 11, which is over halfway done!

For those who are participating in the Chapter 2 Art Drawing Contest, or would like to, this means there are about 2-3 weeks left for submissions.

Once Chapter 2's contest is done, Chapter 3's will begin!

 For those interested at a chance at some prize money and a place to show your art in a novel, check out the contest page.

Here is another wonderful entry for the Chapter 1 contest by talented artist Connie Walker (ryoki18@yahoo.com)

This scene depicts Alice, talking with her friend Ashley by the well in Alice's home village of Toki.

Ashley is a Didel or opossum person, the name stemming from their scientific name, Didelphimorphia.

Beginning Chapter 11

I've just finished my own edits for Chapter 10 of The Jellybane and have sent it off to my editor.

Now it's time to start Chapter 11!

Here is an adorable entry submitted by Ashleigh Davenport of Final Beat Comics (beautyofshape@gmail.com) for the Chapter 1 Art Drawing Contest.

The Chapter 2 contest is currently ongoing and will likely continue until I finish Chapter 11, which maybe a month or so. 

The contest is open to everyone and winners earn prize money and a place in the final novel for their work. 

I'm planning on having a contest for each chapter, so that gives you plenty of chances to win!  Even if you don't though, I do plan to show off your entries in videos and posts just like this giving participants some free advertising.

For information on the contest, check out this page.

In this chapter, due to a chance encounter with a horrifically oversize arachnid, Alice manages to take the first step toward making some new friends in the dangerous monster infested forest.

Also, here is the winning entry for the 1st Chapter Art Drawing Contest! A wonderful piece by Connie Walker.
