So today something became a whole lot more real for me. Erin really finally did it. I held her book in my hand and skimmed through a story I've already read in three incarnations. Congratz Erin. It's been a long time coming, but it's awesome. And I love it.

Even if my name was there in black and white. Okay okay, I'm kidding. But no really, my name is in there! And I'm like, woah... So awesome dude. I've been giggly all night about it.

Driving home though, I got to thinking. All this time I keep saying I'm gonna get published, I was going to do it under a pseudonym, Lucinda James. But Lucinda's just a fantasy, and a badly done one at that.

Still waiting on One Story to reply about my submission. If they accept it, I'm going to put my name on it. g'bye Lucinda. hey, don't look at me that way! You still have two credits to your name!


Btw, Erin is Zhai on LJ and this is her book: Sword of Fire and Sea. Amazon has it available although officially it's not supposed to be released until June 21rst.

Okay, so I just discovered a use for this journal. As a World of Warcraft player, I find many many ways to keep myself entertained. And I just found a new one. Okay, earlier this month, I found one.

Based on this: http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/04/10/wow-player-reaches-level-85-without-killing-a-single-mob/

Call it a pacifist quest. Call it masochistic [like my guildie did]. Call it the Lunk Challenge, I don't care. Imma do it. I have been doing it.

After reading the forums thread, I find there's a whole guild doing similar challenges. They're The Peace Corps over on the Antonidas server. But they're all Alliance.

I started this as a Tauren druid. I started with Tauren for their racials, Cultivation and War Stomp. I chose a druid for the self heals, quick travel forms, future flighted herb picking, and cause I like cat form. She's going to be primarily a resto druid.

The challenge is, level through Herbing, Mining, Exploration, and at level 20, Archaeology. No quests, no dungeons, no kills.

So now this journal is dedicated to Rockbloom's journey. Say Hi!


She's currently level 7. I did get some help from a friend as we ran around on his rocket ride getting flight points. That only accounted for one level though. And probably saved me more than a few deaths.

She currently stands at 75 herbing, 44 mining, 14 deaths, one zone completely explored. As for how much she has gathered. I took a pic. :)


She has no heirloom gear, as none of my toons on that server have been in the position to buy such things. I started her off with 200g to pay for bags and training, and that's it. The rest, is up to her.

So yes, Brennye finally got a code to set up a DW journal. Minor name modification to protect the innocent. You know. ME.

So.. uh.. yo?
