20211028 Inktober Day 6 - Spirit

Watchful eyes ablaze, / their tendrils of shadows burn./ Thoughts malign nightmares.

#HAIKUPRAJNA - Inktober Day 6 Spirit

I had planned to extend my Inktober submits into November for National Novel Writing Month, so seeing as I'm behind on posting these I figure it's safe to announce that I will be following this plan. Going to finish what we have started with project "Bucket" by sharing micro fiction that will be included in this future HaikuPrajna Collection along with a feature length story exclusive to the book following Bucket and his siblings. Will be writing and posting them out of order for the rest of these challenges. Intending for there to be little stress involved.

These Inktober poems and drawings will be collected along with pieces of micro fiction (which will be posted later, maybe for NaNoWriMo 2021) and a novel-length story as a future edition of the HaikuPrajna Collection about a character that April named Bucket, and his siblings Train and Ruby.

Are you participating in Inktober or NaNoWriMo this year? Write a haiku and either tag or send to HaikuPrajna or Electric Armchair to share your work with us!

20211024 - Fishing for Caribou reveal

While we finish the cover images, April and I are pleased to more officially announce the third book in the HaikuPrajna Collection, "Fishing for Caribou". I wrote this story during 2020's Inktober and National Novel Writing Month and, while writing this 2021's Inktober and NaNoWriMo, I still have the hopes of tying the two together promotionally through the two annual writing events.

In addition to sharing the pictures in this post with our readers, I wanted to document a few of the changes that the story went through during production. One of Spearthrower's spearheads is a fallen meteorite with a sharp edge, and while the draft does not reflect this, it is referenced in the book's poetry section; at one point the alchemists were apothecaries, then scientists who had a rocket; and the title had developed from "Spear-thrower" to "Fishing for Caribou".

We are still planning on an October 2021 release, but will probably have to wait until November; sorry for the hold-ups, we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Release date and trailer coming soon!

Thank you, as always, for reading,

Until next time,

Allen W. McLean
