Dakota Rawhide update
So, a little news and update on the goings on of Dakota Rawhide Tayler:
First, I have update the story section with the full manuscript of the first book, which is really just a short story, or a novelette if you want to get technical, as well as a DAKOTA RAWHIDE PDF of the illustrated version.
“But, Daniel!” you might say. “Why in the frack would you do this, and give away such secrets?!”
My reasons for such an act are two-fold:
1.) To dispel the notion of this being, in any way, a comic or graphic novel. It is not based around sequential art, though there is a single sequential page. It is, quite literally, an illustrated novelette. The story is told via writing, which has illustrations to accompany it.
2.) I would rather flare more interest in Dakota than just horde her adventure(s) like a miser with his gold. I want to put her story and later, other stories, out into the verse! Afterall, what’s the point of writing stories if nobody gets to enjoy them?
BOOK 1 is simply a prologue, an intro to a few of the characters, and a chance to get to know Dakota. It is, by no means, the extent of what I have so I have no problem giving it away for the general public’s enjoyment… albeit low-res enjoyment ;) Not at all as nice as having a beautifully printed version, but hey, wishes ain’t horses, right? Cause if they were hell, we’d all be eatin’ steak! So, feel free to grab the PDF and enjoy, because it probably won’t stay up forever.
On another note, the rest of the story is progressing quite nicely. What I am inappropriately still calling BOOK II. It will actually all be a single novel, but, it’s an old habit that just didn’t lay down. They never lay down… The actual writing is only moving at a Bantha’s pace, but that is mostly due to my focusing still on the story itself, which should be figured out in the next month or so, at which time I suspect the writing will take off like a Viper Mark II. So, on that note! That note being a rather geeky one, I am off to write and enjoy my afternoon coffee… which will be my first coffee in 96 hours due to a lame-ass cold. Clearly I am feeling a little more on top of the weather. :D
