First, an apology to anyone who acctually stops by here and reads anything, I have been busy of late and have sadly be neglecting my writing.  Hopefully that will change in the near future, hey, it's almost a new after all.  So, that said, enjoy what I have up, new stuff will show itself... one of these days.

- - In Other News - -

** This Just In!  No new news... how amazing huh? **

So yeah... drawings?  Not coming anytime soon, my sketching has fallen far behind, further behind than my writing...

First MC 04/17/2008 ::jumps around for joy, trips, gets back up::

- - In Other News And Then Some - -

Here's a bit about the writings that I shall put up here.  A few of my works are on here for criticism and review, so any and all comments are appreciated, replied to, and revisited in turn.  Also, I am a member of the Comment Exchange.   Which means that the first time you comment on any of my artwork, stories, or main page, you will receive comment(s) in return.  I am usually on each day at least once, or at least every few days, at least once a week, maybe, if the stars are aligned properly, or if fate deems it so, and with that my replies are usually fairly punctual.

Novels:

- Pillar In The Storm:  This one is a definite work in progress, I just kind of threw it together and haven't the faintest idea where to take it, hopefully I write some more on it.  It is based in a fantasy world and involves a good deal, meaning about 99%, of naval scenes and battles.  I have done some fairly major editing and revamping to the prologue and chapter 1.  It seems the fantasy level is just enough to scrape by, so I hope it continues to make it through... yes prologue and chapter one need to be re-submitted.

- Humanity: Remnants and Exiles:  The prologue is still not up, I have to finish one of the chapters and then put it on a ticket, this is going to end up being published one day I hope, I won't put the whole thing up... its about 40 pages right now.  It is a story about humanity being split by a cosmic disaster, and the struggle that follows.  Big military and space theme to it.

Short Stories:

-Cedar Vale & Cedar Vale 1.5: This is a story I have hopes of having published in a magazine, I tried once, but it got sent back, so its here for some criticism and revision!  Edited for easier reading.  (Short by virtue it is not a story with chapters... but is still fairly long...)

-Red Sky at Night: Just another short story, I may try to send it somewhere, but I'd like to get some feedback on it first.

-TUN: The Diary: This is a story I tossed together when in a rather down mood, short, but, well, I guess it isn't to sweet afterall!  TUN is set in a dismal future, where nothing, especially survival, is certain.  We are our own worst enemy it seems.

-The Adventurers Four: This is going to be a series of episodes, following one adventuring party's funny, disasterous, and odd adventures.  It be up, this is my first MC story  ::blinks:: yep, still there.  Currently there are two in the series.

Poems:

Failing Bonds: Up and readable!  A dark poem about dark stuff and written in the dark!  Ok, not written in the dark, but it sounded cool...

Enjoy!

This is a friendly warning that I’ll send the mob of fairies over until you upload some new stuff. ;-) I’ll edit my stuff this weekend, come hell or Income Tax, so it should be up by the end of next week too. Jacob Bowdin replies: "Well thank the gods of Elfwood that I made it on here in time to avoid a horde of fairies! I’m not sure when I’ll have new stuff up.. but, ummm, at least I checked in? :: guilty grin ::" 11 Feb 2009 Nicoline Badenhorst Loading... *pokes head in* Still nothing new? I’m just that little bit disappointed. Oh well, will you come over to read my new stuff? Please? Please please? Jacob Bowdin replies: "Yea... my writing has slackened... I blame... the gnomes... and my lazy muse. I’ll be over in a jiffy." 22 Mar 2009 Shriram Shastri Loading...

Jacob Bowdin replies: "Well, thank you for the kind comment =) I shall drop by your neck of the woods shortly." 27 Jul 2009 Justine Lim Loading... Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed "Red Sky At Night," and that I will be back in a day or two to look through more of your stuff. Keep up the great work! Jacob Bowdin replies: "Hmmm, been a bit since that one roused interest =) I like the idea I had, but think it could have been executed a bit better, I suppose most first tries are though, haha, I am glad you enjoyed it. Hope you find something equally, or more enjoyable on the return trip!" 28 Jul 2009 Justine Lim Loading... Thank you, thank you, for the The Adventurers Four! I read (and write) waaaayyy too much "serious" fantasy and science fiction, and that was the just the thing I needed to wash the taste out for a bit. Sorry I have to dissect your shelf piecewise; I read on the fly these days because of school and work. Once upon a time, I was actually able to sit down and read whole (and extensive) story collections in under a day, but... :: sigh :: Jacob Bowdin replies: "Well thank you very much for your comments! I think that series is my favorite out of my stories, mainly because it is fun to write, hehe... and I understand the dissecting, I do it as well, work and school do intrude so." 27 Aug 2009 Justine Lim Loading... Oh, Real Life, taking me away from reading and such. Just popping in to let you know that I am very busy at the moment, but I would love it if you let me know if/when you update "The Adventurers Four." Page: [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
