Long story short, Noblesse, as a novel, isn't going to work out. Not that the concept makes for a bad novel idea, but years of working on a job where passive, cold language was the norm and a general lack of practice have murdered any skill I may have had at writing and I'm not sure I want to pick it up again. Basically lots and lots of work, very little reward, and it was getting to me. I also realize that people don't really have a lot of time to commit to reading nowadays.
Anyway, some will have already heard (mostly because I just can't shut up about it), but I'm converting Noblesse Oblige into a webcomic: Galebound. (Noblesse is already a popular webcomic, sooo....name change!) "Galebound" has two meanings: one referring to bound as in "heading in that direction" and the other referring to "obligated". I thought it was pretty fitting
I started publishing it a few weeks ago on Smackjeeves. I didn't want to really broadcast that it was published until I was done with the prologue......which I am now! You guys can check it out here:

I'm only going to post the prologue on dA (unless otherwise convinced). Continuing updates will happen here:
www.galebound.com
tapastic.com/series/galebound
I'm going to be updating every Saturday, barring cataclysm or early updates. I'm actually making the pages at a slightly faster rate than one per week so I should be able to make a fairly significant buffer to dodge any missed updates and eventually I'll bump up the right to 3 updates every 2 weeks (and maybe further if I get fast enough). I'm also going to take the novel form of Galebound off dA because I guard my spoilers jealously (okay no I don't but shh).
A million thanks to WoodscourtBooks who's read more of it than anyone and to Gamer-Minstrel for not shooting down the idea of turning it into a webcomic and for being honest when my writing or art suck and need work, which is often.
Anyway, hope you guys enjoy!

Recruiting Characters and Life Updates
Hey guys :D
So not a lot new stuff since my last update here. I've class-changed to supervisor at work, which means I'm the adult of the department (lol) and generally means I'm doing a lot less technical work and a lot more paperwork. I also learned that in a job interview, the interviewer is probably as nervous as the interviewee. I'm still pretty much in that stage where I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing and surely I'm going to get fired/demoted any second, but I'm working on it.
I also got engaged, like officially, to Gamer-Minstrel (https://www.deviantart.com/gamer-minstrel). We've been dating since December 2012 (The first Hobbit movie was our first date) and it go

Guys.
Guys.
I am so, so tired.
AUGH!
So I finally have a good excuse for my general lack of productivity: I'm renovating a house! One of Mike's and my friends needed some roommates so, with the promise of lower rent, we're all moving in with him. The problem is that the house is kind of a wreck so we made a deal with the owner of the house (another friend's dad) that we would work on fixing it up while we lived there. So, we've spent the last four weekends painting and cleaning and prepping. This weekend we're looking at installing new flooring, and carrying it into the house...ouchies my legs. I am not a strong person and there was a lot
The hundred-page monster
Okay.
So.
I feel better. I beat off the depression with complete-and-total-disregard-for-responsibility as my weapon, which has resulted in a less-stressed me but a wreck of a house, no progress in Noblesse, and I prolly gained like a stone or ten. Had a marathon of FMA: Brotherhood with the boyfriend, started on Soul Eater, picked up Xenoblade (by proxy)...Yeah. Vacation time and such. :V (actually did go on Vacation, too, although I fell ill on the second day, possibly from stress....I do the whole "bottling up and then exploding/dying" thing.)
Anyway, news from work: Got promoted! Woo! I'm in a semi-managerial position now, but mostly I
Welp, I tried
Update: Okay, I'm feeling better now. Mike and I marathoned FMA: Brotherhood last night since he hasn't seen it and it helped to do something to take my mind off writing for a bit. Going to keep trying.
(Mike's reaction to Sheska: omg is that you?)

I'm considering throwing in the towel for NaNo this year. It's really unlikely I'm going to make 50k words by the end of the month.
Disclosure: I've been dealing with some heavy depression this month. It's nothing to do with suckiness in life—on the contrary, life's been okay. I actually just got a promotion which I start tomorrow! I'm sure the problem is strictly chemical/stress-r
