I'm a Mascot and #writemotivaiton update

Ok. A little late on this post, but I've been busy.  For those of you who haven't heard, I'm already most of the way through chapter 1 of my new WIP. Also, for those who haven't heard, I've been made the defacto #writemotivation mascot. I do so under duress.

I'm not sure how it started, but I know how it ends. I think it started with an innocent comment about my hair being on the long side in my recent vlog (see this post). This then became a "hey look, Andrew, you should cut your hair like this!" I don't have a picture anymore, but suffice it to say, it was not "age appropriate". Not to mention the odd piercings (eyebrow, lip, and huge gauges in the ears). Then there was mention of a cape, a tattoo (which turned into eyeball tattoos..I didn't know that you could do until then). Anyway, there was a long (and weird) discussion on Twitter about it. The end result was made by the very strange, yet fun, Jamie Dement (yes, she is demented). Be forewarned, what is seen, cannot be unseen.

Yes, that is a dinosaur with a flaming chocolate chip cookie

With friends like mine...who needs enemas...er...enemies. :D


Now on to the #writemotivation update (no real changes from last one)
  1. Finish draft of WIP: DONE! YAY! HAPPY DANCE!
  2. Figure out what I'm writing next: YUP! I also wrote down nine other story ideas that I want to write at some point
  3. Do character sketching/world building for new WIP: Almost done with chapter 1. I have several characters developed (at least partially).
  4. Blog once a week: So far so good!
  5. Cheer everyone else on: Yes! Although I could do some more cheering (IMHO).
'Till next time!

    There's no way I was going to draw the thong! I broke my Tweetdeck with the image I found for you guys! But I was so ROFLMAO!

    1. LOL. Thank you for not including a thong. That would have caused my computer (and everyone else viewing this posts computer) to catastrophically fail. :D

  5. so I made the ultimate mistake - I clicked your link to the eyeball tattoo - I am still cringing in imagined pain!!!

    The lipstick is a great shade for you, I think, though, you need to watch that dino closely. I saw him eyeballing your cape. The cookies are probably a distraction or maybe his method of lulling you into a false sense of security so he can steal the cape of awesomeness that Jamie made for you.

    Also - nice work on the Vlog, I'm so not brave enough for that... yet.

    1. I warned you. What has been seen, can not be unseen. :D

      The vlog was fun and silly and not nearly as intimidating as it might seem. :D

      He can have my cape when he pries it from my cold dead....*urk* *ack* *thud*

  6. I do think you're rockin' those piercings! T-rex must think so too if he's willing to share his cookies! Hahahah.. You're my goal-reaching hero and I hope to follow in your footsteps next time around. I haven't even done my blog yet for this week (STILL) Very well done! :) Thanks for the Twitter chortles, Andrew & Jamie :) (and everyone else on there...)

  7. Who would want to unsee that? Yowza! That cape is really bringing out the shade of your eyeball tattoos. Thanks for that link by the way... *shudders*

    And whoohoo on goal accomplishing! *throws dinosaur shaped confetti*

    1. Hahaha! I think Jaime found it first, or at least one of the people tormenting me that night found it. Yes, it is seriously creepy. :D

  8. Congratulations on completing your goals--and cracking me up. One of those, of course, is hard to do. The other one . . . not so much. On to more WIP's and more laughs! :-)
