SIMIAN CITY NEWS!!
Good evening. I'm M. Ad Baboon your news reader for this evening, and this lovely monkey on my right is my assistant Chimpy Chimpers Chimpette Chimp Chala Loala Lalalalala Chimpers-Zene Chimps Chimpara III.
Breakthrough.
Almost incredible reports lately sent to our news headquarters claim that the first version of Electrostatic Fantasy would be complete!
According to an e-mail we received yesterday from a very reliable source, around the end of last week some eye-witnesses claim to have seen the last sentence of the story finally put down.
*Chimpette turns her head.* But you said the source was Bob "The Bottle" Monkey who's always drunk around the corner. Is he really that 'reliable'?
*anchor monkey stares in silence for a moment* Silence my sweet, insignificant assistant.
*clears throat*
Many of you will know that since the famed NaNoWriMo 2009 event, in which the Writer Monkey made her escape from WannabeWriter Zoo, the last chapter of E.F. had yet to be completed. Two years have passed and seen little more than sad attempts at scribbling something of a first version for this ever important portion of the story. What would happen? Who would die? And it what order? And most crucially, what would be the answer to that eternal small talk topic of the authoring world: what is the last sentence of your novel?
But incredibly, through all odds and unlikelihood, the Writer Monkey has actually continued on her writing quest!
Fear not dear viewers, the shock comes as heavily upon the cast as it does on you.
*Chimpette turns her head toward anchor* Why are you being so dramatic? You always tell me news is about being serious and that its not a Shakespearian play.
*anchor* Silence assistant!
Ahem, where was I...?
We are told by the Monkey that we are unable to release the last sentences as they are very much likely to endure changes. Currently this story is under rigorous editing and is expected to either read or almost ready for Beta Reader stage in late October. More on this story as it develops.
Into the Future!
It's almost October, and this means it is time for writiers around the planet to begin gearing up for the most exciting and challenging event of the year. That's right, it's NANOWRIMO TIME! This means it's also upon us to begin thinking about which novels we shall be offering up to the altar of abuse come later autumn. In an interview earlier this weekend, our own Writer Monkey had this to say on the subject:
"Whether you keep your jobs or not is of no interest nor importance to me. There's no chance I'll pour out my creative aspirations at their most vulnerable stage for the sake of your journalist career. You lot eat my bananas, drink my Fanta and are misusing your rights to post on this blog by broadcasting these shows randomly. I am SO making you your own log on. I refuse to have you impersonating me any longer. When I want to reveal my diabolical plans for world domination to my dedicated disciples, I shall do so myself!
And you make way too much noise with the cappuccino machine! How is a Monkey supposed to concentrate in all this hullabaloo?!"
*anchor speaks quietly to assistant* Hold on Chimpette, I thought this was the good interview? What happened to the tape?
*Chimpette whispers* Well I kind of ate the last cookie while I was over there so she...
* anchor, getting annoyed* She what?
*Chimpette* She kind of put the good tape into a blender and drank it along with her banana milkshake.
*anchor sighs*
More on the Monkey's plans to come.
Thank the flying monkeys it's time to say, that's all for tonight from...
SIMIAN CITY NEWS!
*Chimpette* But you said you were going to let me sing at the end of the show!
*anchor walks out muttering* I can't take this. I can't work with that monkey.
