I really can't complain, you get what you pay for. My signal I have been using to update over the net was finally locked down so until I pay for my own, I have no internet. That's hardly a show stopper for my life however (bet those who know me -never- thought I'd say that!) so things are moving along. I'm excited with the work on my writing both in actual story and in drawing up more ideas for fleshing out the world of Runara.

So far I'm up to six nationalities of humans and even more non-human races populating the lands. It's not the numbers that excites me nearly so much as writing up the cultures, customs and historical tidbits for each. It's getting easier to visualize what the cities of Runara might be in daily life. I suppose I might be just a little self-absorbed, especially since I've not posted anything here for public viewing. Unfortunately what I post on good ol' DA I can't later sell First Rights to for publishing. I'll be putting up something though, I found some old Paint art that must be shared. I want to write some more on a particular character, Henry Downser.

Henry is a publicist and general friend-of-a-friend that has a knack for putting the right people in touch with the other right people and taking a modest percentage of the profits. I got the idea for him interacting with the main character one late and sleep deprived night. I wrote down the whole dream the next morning and felt I had to work him into the storyline somehow. He's a bit character, important in some ways but not enough to really save the day, unless your day needs saving from the man who knows nearly anyone worth knowing in the city of Strumvald. I'll likely write up a few luncheons between him and the other characters then post the least embarrassing ones here.
