No, that's wasn't meant to be part of the plot of the current story line.

We unfortunately had trouble with our FTP site. We were unable to upload new files to the site, so the next page ended up delayed, and due to the way our blog was linked we also couldn't update the blog.

Also consider joining our fan site on Facebook as an alternative way to receive news and updates in the event this happens again! We were able to spread word there in the meantime.

Thank you for your patience and support.

P.S. Sorry for the long delay, but Kevin and I just spent the last several weeks prepping for a book signing of my book, GARDNER'S GUIDE TO WRITING AND PRODUCING ANIMATION, for which Kevin did all the interior book art. We signed copies of the book and he even got to show off some original (non-Flying Glory) art at the Van Eaton Galleries, who sponsored it. Despite hot temperatures, we had a great time. Thanks for bearing with us...

Flying Glory and the Hounds of Glory Showcased in WOW! - Women on Writing

If you've ever wondered what Flying Glory and the Hounds of Glory would look like in an animated script form, satisfy your curiosity! I did an article on Breaking into the Animation Writing Market for online magazine WOW! - Women on Writing where I adapted the last pages of what is Issue 2 (or Chapter 2 in the first currently unpublished Graphic Novel) into script form.

The script samples and overall article are mine, I don't know where they got the top graphic from or why they used that as it is from the FINAL FANTASY video games. FF X-2 happens to still be my fave game of all time, but ...
In any case, I hope that people find this article informative and I enjoyed doing it. Here's the link:
http://www.wow-womenonwriting.com/20-FE3-ShannonMuir.html
The whole issue is on freelancing, FYI, so there might be a lot of useful stuff there. Consider taking a look.

And thanks again to WOW! Women on Writing for the opportunity.
