The Outcast Girl continues in NaNaWriMo. Have fallen behind significantly over the past five days (writing on only two of them), but am not so far behind that I can't complete in the allocated time. Currently dealing with the fun to be had at Krakatau, drinking soma, and encounters with Garuda and Naga.

In very big news I've received a thumbs up from Jolly Roger Games to write a variant of DragonQuest set in the Barbarian Kings world. This has caused quite a stir among the various DQ lists and, of course, our own core of DQ players.

In other gaming news I've ended up in a Diplomacy PBeM. [livejournal.com profile] anthanum (France) and myself (Germany) have formed a promising Franco-German alliance. Tomorrow will be finishing Slave Pits of the Undercity in the Norman Britain AD&D game. It has an extra bite.

On Wednesday went to the National Rhododendron Garden as part of a Unitarian Church outing. Rather unusual for Australia in November, it snowed. [livejournal.com profile] tau_iota_mu_c (who visited the evening previous from NSW) informs me that NSW/ACT also had the same experience. This is late spring in Australia. It shouldn't be snowing. The weather is broken. Other social events include another great dinner with [livejournal.com profile] ser_pounce and [livejournal.com profile] wolf_in_winter on Monday. Tuesday night dining was provided with [livejournal.com profile] anthanum and [livejournal.com profile] missmilky with fine Japanese cuisine. Last night played Scruples with [livejournal.com profile] caseopaya and [livejournal.com profile] zen_cat.

I took a quick peek at his bio page and checked out his icons..

Jeeese what a charactor! *grins* anyone who likes cats can't be all bad!

Good luck, good creativity and good logic to your novel "The Outcast Girl", I hope you will allow me the honor of reading your finished work or at least parts of it. The subject matter of where you did your research, the places where you lived, well Im somewhat unfamiliar, having studied some about India, Middle East and Africa in the cultural elements. (nearly forgot! studied a bit of Bali also)

I prefered the science and the biology of the great apes, Environmental changes over thousands of years. This facinates me due to my brother who died years ago from a rare bone disease. This started me on studying genetics at the 101 level..wish I could have gone through school, but life happens..

Thankies for posting! I appreciate your impute!

I will indeed. At some stage in the very near future (like in a month or so) I'll send a link out from here for people to have a look and tell me what they think.

Bali is a great place. I keep going back. I'm pretty sure I'm due for another visit.

I'll be looking forward to it. Im pretty sure judging from the easy way you write that the story will be pretty engaging..

Love love love the scenery in Bali (alas! only saw Bali in pictures, but what a gorgeous country)..

night night, its sleeptime in the states!
