[PerTaSpiPer] Update

[benlehman]

Personal Tale Spinning Period went well today. 5000 words, completely topping off "The Unjust King" from start to finish and getting a third of the way through "Frost's Boy" (the two tales kind of run together.) Hopefully I'll get a good 1000 words tomorrow at least.

PerTaSpiPer FAQ

1) Does this have anything to do with Nanowrimo?

Not as far as I know.

2) What is it?

I am attempting to get to 13 Dusty Boots tales in a short period.

3) Like, a month?

No. A short period.

4) No, seriously, how long.

However long.

5) Can I join?

No. Hence the "personal."

6) Are you going to post the stories as you complete them?

Maybe.

Dusty Boots? Have I missed something? Is that just your own title, or a reference to something else?

Keep on rockin'!

Yup, you've missed something!

I've been posting a series of short stories behind friends-lock and LJ-cut for the last while. Here's the links if you want to get caught up.

The Cold Sea (http://www.livejournal.com/users/benlehman/88364.html#cutid1)
How the World Grew (http://www.livejournal.com/users/benlehman/88700.html#cutid1)
Little Red Cap and the Wolf (http://www.livejournal.com/users/benlehman/88979.html#cutid1)
Anne-of-Rags (http://www.livejournal.com/users/benlehman/92765.html#cutid1)

These are friendslocked 'cause I may seek publication with them after some revisions. I don't want this to count as publication. Sorry to those that can't read them!

Also, the first two need serious revision. I'm happier with the last two.

Oh, uh, Dusty Boots in the main character. Clearly.

He's essentially the anti-conan.
