Hm. I've not wrote here in ages, have I? Wow. Huh.
I can officialy say that cat-run is on hiatus, I'm simply not working on it much any more. Sorry, but I just can't get around it it, something's been bothering me too much.
Cat-run is a very complecated world, there are a lot of little details and stories and characters that... well... 3 books just dosen't seem enough. So, I'm thinking of extending it, simply put.
Talking about the first book, since that's the only one I've written. It's about Hayley first coming to cat-run, meeting Fox and everybody, and that's all well. It's also about Hayley wanting to fight against the wolvians because she thinks they're all wimps. It's also about Fox tring to cope with Hayley's religonism. It's also about Fox wanting to explain who Hayley's father is to him. It's also about Hayley meeting the avians. It's also about Mighty and her mother. It's also about Kieth trying to prove himself to Sydney. You get the idea. My story is pretty complex, so perhaps lengthening it out would help a bit, for example, the first book would be about Fox and Hayley trying to understand each other, Hayley runs away, and starts a fight with the avians and stuff. No wovians in sight - yet. I think this would allow for a bit more character development and there would be simpler plots, but in the long run, everything I want to tell would be told (I could also open it from new perspectives, such as Tana, fox's neice).
In particular, something I've wanted to do a bit more about is Fox's backstory. His role in the books is pretty simple, as he's more or less Hayley's mentor/father figure. But one thing I noticed is that he barely gets any character development. He starts off the story as a goofy, carfee fellow, who instantly takes a liking to Hayley, and looks past all her faults, because she's a lot like his last apprentice. I think there are a few things I could change at the start, for example, making him a little less serious about Hayley, and just shrugging her off for most of the book, and stuff like that. Another thing I wanted to implement was a plot involing her mother. In the old books I tired to shrug off his mother (Fox mentioned her occasionally, but I didn't revolve much around her) despite her being one of main reasons he became a cat-run.
Two other things I've been thinking about were involving a more fantasy touch, in particular, bring in back Charlie's angel, (pfft, just noticed that) Twick. The other was to make the characters wear clothes, but this would mostly be a change in the illustrations.
Oh yeah, and The Beta Project? Still goin' baby! Just very slowly, there's a few things I want to change, such as Kiana's motives for going back home, but I don't know how...
Cat-Run is a story by myself, Haley. It is about a bunch of anthropomorphic animals fighting against the evil wolvians, and having to cope with death, friendship and love. The story is in four parts, but right now I'm only working on the first part.
This website was made so people could follow me, and so i could look back and see how I'd done. It's currently under a redesign so expect changed.
For more information, it's characters, it's story, and myself, look along the right.

I will never do you wrong
I'm so bad at doing titles for my posts, I'll just use lyrics from whatever song I'm listening too. In this case, 'Make you Feel my Love' by Adele.
Obviously, you can get both blog posts and pages in blogger. I decided to only use posts, because It's easier to manage (and looks downright better) plus, they're essentially the same.
Also, I might start using this place as an on-line blog over a log of how I'm doing with my literature. My deviantART is for a more public audience, while I try to limit the Psychic Ferret to only posts about the comics. This will be my 'officiall' website, Pokeartkid.com in you wanna be fancy. However, the main focus will remain my literature (and my art) specifically Cat-Run, I'll just also be posting other stuff to go with it.
And what do these to statements have to do with each other? I might consider making 'Gallery', 'About' and 'Other Websites' pages. 'tis all.
Kid out.

Doom-eating monsters.
I've been away a wee while. I missed Christmas. I did do a banner and all that shabaz, but I just never got around to uploading it. And before I knew it it was January, I link my last post was November.
It's just over a year since this website was published, on the 9th of january 2011. Booya!
Lately I've been working on 'Doom Eaters', about a teenage girl called Merilee who finds Sengir, who is part of a mysterious species who live in an alternate world and feed on the deaths of people. He claims to know of the end of the world, and offers Merilee safety in exchange for her loyal friendship.
It seems like a good offer, until Merilee discovers Sengir was a fugitive who wanted nothing more than power...
...I'll upload it on my DeviantART when I finish, although I'll probably post it here too.
Anyway. Stay tuned.
Kid out.

The Beta Project Cast Page
I realise I haven't written much, or anything, or the Beta Project.
And yet I just done the cast page, pictures and everything, within a few hours. This is just a fantastic exibiton of my intrusiveness, because the cat-run cast page took a five-hour train ride to get halfway through...
Of course, there are less bios, and they are a lot shorter, because the Beta Project is a lot simpler than Cat-Run. But still.
Expect TBP-related posts coming soon.

'Tis not Halloween Anymore.
After a good little while, I've decided to finally take down the Halloween decorations. Shame do, I really liked it.
The sites almost the way it's supposed to look, except the background, I seem to have lost that file. I dunno, I'll have to see if i can find it, but until then, there's a temporary one.
This isn't a long entry, but I will say, I'm FINALLY going to submit the cast page. It's not done yet, but I've been putting it off for long enough.
