Character photos – Dedric

04.15.2010 by Starla Huchton // Leave a Comment

Another day, another experimental character shot! Aren’t you lucky!

You’d think I would have tackled Cyrus/Stephen next, but no. The wizard decided he wanted to go first (king schming, we all like Dedric better!). And so, here you have it.

Character Photos – Aura

04.14.2010 by Starla Huchton // 3 Comments

I’ve decided to try a little experiment.

Just for something fun to do, I’m going to create some of the main characters from TDT in the virtual world of SecondLife. I was a little hesitant to do this at first. I don’t enjoy a story where the author decribes every little detail about a character’s appearance or setting. I like filling in some of those blanks myself. It keeps my imagination engaged.

The Next Step

02.06.2010 by Starla Huchton // 2 Comments

It’s now been a week since the final episode of The Dreamer’s Thread dropped. The response has been overwhelming for me, to be honest. I’ve received several reports of tears, but I have been assured they were all the good kind. If you haven’t heard the final episode yet, I’ll not spoil it for you, so no worries. It’s strange for me that other people grew so attached to the characters I’ve spent the last two years with. However, I am very glad I’ve gotten to share them with all of you.

The end is nigh…

01.22.2010 by Starla Huchton // 1 Comment

Well, if you’ve gotten to this point, you’ll know by now that the end of The Dreamer’s Thread is rapidly approaching. Episode 22 will be released in roughly 24 hours from the time I’m writing this and it should be a good one.

I must admit though, I’m a little sad. This small project of mine has been one incredible adventure for me. I can’t quanitfy how much I’ve learned from this experience, both as a podcaster and a writer, but I’d like to share a bit of it.

Unexpressed sorrow

01.07.2010 by Starla Huchton // 2 Comments

The big news yesterday on Twitter, and in the podiobook community, was the devastating loss of Tee Morris‘ wife Natalie, also the mother to their young daughter, the infamous “Sonic Boom”.

When you see something like this happen to someone you know, different things go through your mind. I can’t speak for everyone else, but this is what went through mine:

Something to scare you…

10.20.2009 by Starla Huchton // 1 Comment

So, this afternoon, in my sickness induced nap time, I started thinking back to last year this time and immediately thought of this completely wicked setup in Second Life I played through for Halloween. It was so creepy, even a year later I’m still thinking about it. I was hoping the one for this year would be set up by now, but alas, it is not yet.

I did check out a preview for it in the Best of SL magazine. Looks bad ass btw. (Go here and jump to page 132 for the very well-written article. It actually has some great advice that could be put to use for writing as well!)

I wanted to share the story from last year’s build with you at any rate. I was looking over the notecard just a bit ago and thought it might be good for inspiration if you’re looking for something to write about for this year’s NaNoWriMo and are writing horror. Here is the history of St. Jude’s Academy…

A bit about “The Ship’s Cook”

10.20.2009 by Starla Huchton // 5 Comments

If you haven’t heard this week’s episode yet, you might be missing out. For those of you that have, I thought I might share a bit about the story and the author behind it.

A personal post: on 9/11…

09.11.2009 by Starla Huchton // 2 Comments

I’m not an overly political person. Live and let live is my philosophy. Today, however, I feel the need to borrow a soapbox from someone and write what will undoubtedly be one of a million posts/articles/stories written today for this occasion.

Most people have their own personal stories about where they were on this day in 2001. I guess I’m no different in that respect. But I felt the need to write it down today. I want to remember those feelings and that time.

NaNoWriMo: The Origin of TDT

09.10.2009 by Starla Huchton // 3 Comments

A recent conversation on Twitter prompted me to write this blog post. It got me thinking about November and the madness that is National Novel Writing Month. NaNoWriMo holds a special place in my heart for several reasons. Over the course of two Novembers (and a little bit here and there in between) I wrote something longer than I’d ever thought I could and actually finished something I started, which is a big deal for me. The Dreamer’s Thread is the result of all that hard work. Granted, it didn’t start out quite so ambitiously.

Are you ready for episode 3?

08.29.2009 by Starla Huchton // Leave a Comment

You have no idea how hard it is to hold on to a finished episode like this one and not be tempted to release it early.

Episode 3 won’t be out until tomorrow, so instead of torturing myself with its awesomeness, I spent some of the evening reviewing the rough cut of episode 4.
