I’m not an artist, but I have more than a few friends who are, so I thought this might be a good thing to post.
ugh, the “exposure” offer is the absolute worst.
if you make anything creative, don’t give it to others without payment. REAL payment. Don’t confuse artistry with self-imposed poverty. Your work is worth money!

DRAUGR
[noun]
a draugr, draug or (Icelandic) draugur (original Old Norse plural draugar, as used here, not “draugrs”), or dreygur (Faroese), or draugen (Norwegian, Swedish and Danish, meaning “the draug”), also known as aptrganga (“afturganga” in modern Icelandic) (literally “after-walker”, or “one who walks after death”) is an undead creature from Norse mythology. The original Norse meaning of the word is ghost, and older literature makes clear distinctions between sea-draug and land-draug. Draugar live in their graves, often guarding treasure buried with them in their burial mound. They are animated corpses - unlike ghosts they have a corporeal body with similar physical abilities as in life.
The Old English cognate was dréag (“apparition, ghost”). The Gaelic word dréag or driug meaning “portent, meteor” is borrowed from either the Old English or the Old Norse word.
Etymology: akin to Old High German gitrog (“ghost”) and triugan (German trügen, betrügen (“to cheat, to deceive”)). Akin to Dutch gedrocht (“monster”), bedrog (“cheat, deceit”) and bedriegen (“to cheat, to deceive”).

Wow.
These are so very powerful in the display of human muscularity. Yes, it’s naked people climbing rocks, but once you see the ways the muscles flex and twist and hold firm, you’ll see the art of the body on display.

So, I wasn’t going to do NaNoWriMo this year. I did the last couple of years, always whilst working on a project of some kind. I recently finished my next novel, Dust McAlan and the Empire of the Serpent, so November 1st rolls around and I’m like “I’m relaxing.” November 2nd hits and I’m churning out a new book. So. NaNoWriMo: I fucking hate you but hey, at least I’m writing something. I wasn’t going to jinx myself but I’m almost at 65 pages and counting. This is first trimester shit right here.
