A Boy and his Drawer

A decade of notes, fragments, dreams and worlds

More projects brewing…

The Whisperer and the Wanderer - The origins of this project are strange but it’s actually one of the simplest stories to understand.  I played World of Warcraft for most of 2007, to the exclusion of most other activities.  I really got into the story parts - not the quest stories necessarily but the journey my character was on.  As I wandered the streets of Manhattan on my day to day travels I would imagine a WoW movie and beautiful, dramatic scenes that would capture the grittiness of that world.  I had this idea about an undead witch-queen who controlled people with her mind - whispering orders to them.  I wrote some notes (more on that in the future) but that was it.  

In March a group of friends started a D&D game.  I haven’t played in years!  I was so excited to roll the dice and see the action in my head again.  So fun.  I chose a paladin and wrote out a little bit of background.  I showed it to my DM and he loved it.  I fleshed it out and it turned into a story of an aging paladin on a quest to find this evil witch-queen - and his students who must find him.  

This project is really close to my heart and while it seems like merely a fun project it will likely be the first thing I dive into once I get myself organized.
