A Month With Marrok!

      Hello everyone! Today I thought it would be fun to try one of those monthly wraps up post. But since I can’t promise to do one monthly I decided to try something new. Welcome to “A Month with Marrok!”

                It’s kind of like a monthly wrap up but with that Marrok twist to it. I hope you enjoy it. Now let’s get things rolling!

      Writing

    I did get some writing done even though its summer. By the time this post goes up I will have reached 30k in Iron Gantlet. And remember once I reach 40k I'll release the unclassified synopsis. Writing is coming along nicely, but it’s been kind of hard to get to it lately because of the other stuff I’ve been doing. I’ll talk about that in a moment.

                For those of you who don’t follow my newsletter I’ve started writing a comic. So, I’ve been doing some Manuscript writing. It is a new experience, but it isn’t super difficult. If you don’t know how comics are written, I’ll tell you. First you plan what will happen in each panel (panels are those little box’s that make up a comic page). While writing down what happens in each panel you also write down what is said by who. That is more or less the gist of comic book writing (now you all owe me $7.50 for that lesson…).

                I’ve also got a surprise coming at the end of the month that has also been taking some time away from Iron G.  To those of you following my newsletter no spoiling.

     Blogging

                This month was pretty cool. This blog grew a little, a special welcome to the new followers! I hope you enjoy your time here and can forgive my typos.

           My post titled “Dinosaurs and Dragons” has taken the third spot on my popular posts, guess there are more Dino fans out there then I though.

            Found out why some of my post have weird typos or missing sections. Apparently, Word and Blogger don’t get along.

            Over the summer, I found/talked to some pretty cool bloggers, they rock! Some of the post I’ve enjoyed most are

Hannah’s post-How To Survive College

Susannah’s post-7 Tips on Creating a Complex Antagonist

Hannah’s (different Hannah) post- How to Write Violence Into your Stories

Audrey’s post-{Dreams and Callings} The Best is Yet To Come

Hope Ann’s post-Is Clean Christian Writing a Good Thing?

Karyssa’s post-The #Voices of TA Tag

There are other post I did enjoy reading as well but I didn’t add here. So, if I didn’t mention you please don’t feel bad.

      Reading

                I haven’t been doing a ton of that. I stopped reading Samara's Peril for now just because it not working for me. But I did start reading Orphans Song (which had been pretty good) and I picked this up at the library.

                               (If you've read it let me know if it's good or not)

      Ever since I saw the movie "Warcraft" I've loved Orc's. So when I saw, it I was like “How can I NOT try a book called Orc King! I love orcs!”. So I checked it out. The great thing about it being from the Library is that if it isn't good I could just return it and not feel bad becuase I didn't buy it!

         Life

                              Life… Life has been like this

       

                Okay not really. It's been more or less chill. There have been some times where it felt like that but hey, it's life.

                Since it’s summer I’ve been trying to divide my time up with drawing, writing and everything else. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen I’ve been quite busy when it comes to drawing. I’ve been redesigning the Justice League to look like anime high school students. Still working on them but here they are

                                                 Green Lantern

                                                       Flash

                                                   Batman

                                                 Superman

                                            Wonder Woman

                                                  Aquaman

                                                   Cyborg

         I post a lot of more of my art on my IG so if you want to see more check it out.
              I also entered the Ilyon Fan Art Contest, thank you all who stopped by and helped me choose which one to enter. I didn’t win but that’s fine, first place did a really good job and I don’t mind losing to that.

                Other than that, I’ve been trying to just chill in the summer, It’s way too hot to really do anything besides swimming and I’ve already gotten three shades darker. Oh yeah and there was a lot of random dancing brakes I had. What? Once I hear that beet I just go with it.

Oh! I’ll be starting a new chapter in life as a campus student of The Master’s University. If you don’t know anything about the college I strongly suggest clicking HERE. If any of you are considering going to college I would totally suggest check them out. They do a View Weekend in October where you can come down for a three day, two-night stay and check out how the college and classes work, as well as checking out the professors and student life. The Master’s does offer online classes as well, but just as a warning they can be time consuming. I’m so hyped on being there since I wasn’t able to go last year. It’s by God's grace that I’m able to attend this year and I plan on making the most of the time I’ve been given there. Don’t worry I’ll still be blogging and writing.

So I was thinking of a clever and new way to end this “A Month With Marrok” post. I mean I’ve seen people do what they googled or funny things their kid sib said. But I though “Hey these people only know the me they see on the net, so why not show them what I’m like a little!”.  So here it is!

What it’s like to hang with Marrok!

In the car…

Sis: looks out the left window “Wow that lady is very pregnant”

Me: looks out the right window “That’s just a fat dude with a pony tail”

Sis: “….What?!”

Going to the store…

Mum: “Okay I'm going to the story anything you guys need?”

Me: Chilling on floor because it’s so hot “Yeah I life, and maybe a few billion dollars”

Driving in the desert…

Da: “Okay put the books away and look out the windows”

Me: Decided to copy sheen from jimmy neutron “But dad ‘all I see is sand. And I’m not a cat”

At the store, again…

Sis: “Okay lets go find mom”

Me: Decided to copy the croods this time “And our log!”

Well that’s all for this post, I hope your all doing well. How have your summers been? Until Next Time! Stay True to the King!
