A Mythik New Year

Happy New Year, everybody! The ol' Mythik Blog has been neglected for a while, but the Underwater Cave-dwelling Sea Monkeys who write this stuff are back to work and have their typewriters warmed up and ready to go.

November was very busy with NaNoWriMo, and although I didn't "win," I did get 45k or so words, which I considered a success and a very good start to the Land Of Lor novel. It is shaping up to be a very fun twist on classic, personal Sword & Sorcery combined with an overall Epic Fantasy feel. Although the main characters and plot lines have been in my head for many years, it has already taken a few unexpected turns resulting in several painted-in plot corners, ha ha. I was so busy writing, I didn't keep up with the planned blog updates. Oh well, it's a trade-off I'll accept :)

December was busy with lots of work at the day job and, of course, family and holiday time. I was able to do a test shoot of video for an upcoming Weird West Thriller.

Screen grab from video test shoot. T3i camera with 30 year old Kiron 28mm lens @ f2.

Another frame from the test movie. The six shooter is a rare Merwin & Hulbert, the "Cadillac of Revolvers," a now mostly forgotten competitor to the Colts, Smith & Wessons and Remingtons of the old west.

January will be busy too, since I'll be finishing up the long awaited Mythik Imagination #2 as well as working on Land of Lor and pre-production (and more tests) for the movie.

New Year's resolution is to not neglect the blog and to write more!

Thanks for reading and stay Mythik :)
