Doctor Who Contest Results *CONTEST NOW CLOSED*
Thank you to all who participated in the Doctor Who Creativity Contest! Everyone here behind the scenes of the Art Drawer really appreciated how creative your entries were. Every single one of us, technicians, writers, comedy writers, actors and more all enjoyed seeing the wonderful drawings and buildings. I am sure Doctor Who would, too.
The Results:
First up, we have KingofRandom with his really cool manga drawing!
(Text: Text Box:
"Today's Lecture: Time
Guest Speeker: The Doctor"
Chart: Time [arrow] Wibbly wobbly timey wimey"
"Zander Krasny")
We really liked the idea! Never would have thought of it! Thanks, KingofRandom!
Second, we have moonembrace! She has sent us two pictures of her creations. She made CRAYON TARDISES!!!!!!!! I was quite impressed with her creativity. She tells us the photo quality was bad, so she tells us these are crayon Tardises. Thanks!!
Those were our winners (Both tied for first place). Sorry for the wait, but creativity never ceases! If you are inspired by these winners and want to enter your own idea, feel free! The contest is still open, but our winners have already been chosen. Thanks!!

Huffington Post Books
As you know, I am hoping to become a published author quite soon. And as you also know, I entered NaNoWriMo. Mom saw on Twitter that Huffington Post Books put out a Twitter feed asking if anyone who was participating in NaNoWriMo would be open to an interview about it. Mom said that her daughter was participating, so I wrote back to the woman that asked and I said yes, and I slipped in that I hope to be a published author soon. They might know some people who could do that for me. Could this me my big break? I doubt it, but I might get a quote in an article about NaNoWriMo! You might be able to see it sometime on the HuffPost Book section on their website. Not yet of course, probably not for a while. I will tell you exactly when and where when it is published. :)

4 Month Anniversary
Yay! We have kept the Art Drawer going for 4 months so far. I hope we have a lot of great readers, nay, I know we do. You guys have stayed with us through thick and thin, through bad writing days and good writing days. And weird days. A heck of a lot of weird days. But that is beside the point. The point is, thanks. The point is, the Art Drawer is not only here for our enjoyment, but yours, too. And we hope you have enjoyed the Art Drawer so far, because there is a lot of it left! Because November is the 4th month of the Art Drawer, AND National Novel Writing Month, why don't you write some fan fiction of CB and RK's daily lives? You can leave them in the comments. You know, what you think we are like based on our posts. Thanks! Hahaha!

www.NaNoWriMo.org
Do any of you like to write? Well, November is the national novel writing month! Or NaNoWriMo for short. This is a national activity that encourages the art of literature.
Every year, published and celebrated authors and even regular people are challenged to write 50,000 words or more by the end of November. It is a fictional book that was completely started and finished within the month of November.
You can't have written any part of it or even outlined it. You can have an idea starting in your head, but try not to think too much about the plot, since many people outline books in their heads.
If you want to sign up, it is free and it is a very trusted website. www.nanowrimo.org is the URL. Remember, when you are making your quick and easy account, click the button that says you are 13 and up, because this means the website is not violating the law that no personal information may be solicited from children 12 years and younger over the internet. It means you knowingly give your permission to have an account created.
I entered a few days ago, and I have been waiting for three painstaking days to start writing, and today is November 1 so I began writing. I have 494 words of 50,000 so far. I might just make it. The goal is 1,667 words a day. In 30 days. Do you think I can do it? Do you think YOU can do it? Even if you aren't going to participate, do you think you WOULD be able to do it? Leave your answers in the comments!
Good luck and get writing!
Every fictional novel has a main question, a question that decides the plot. What is yours?

Happy Halloween!
A night, so scary and frightful, a night so sweet and fun!
No, this is not a poem, though, yes, I know, it sounds like one.
Hallow's Eve is upon us! The Headless Horseman reaps your fear,
And the Jack-O-Lantern stands outside your door.
Ghosts, mummies, Witches, zombies, pumpkins, animals galore!
What are YOU dressing up as? Any of these, or more?
Okay, I guess it was a poem. I hope you enjoyed my accidental awesomeness. Sorry I am being so theatrical right now. I am in my WRITING MOOD! NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow, but that is another post for another time.
Happy Halloween!
Boo!,

The Art Drawer Logo!
CONTEST: Please email us your idea for an Art Drawer logo!
Guidelines:
The logo MUST include:
Be creative!
It must be legible, eye catching, easy to read, and interesting. Also, if possible, try to make is compact. Look at the iCarly logo. It says clearly iCarly, it catches your eye with its vibrant colors, and it is small and compact.
Try to stay away from too much detail, because if your idea is chosen, we will have to redraw it and enter it into the computer and trace it on, and too much detail isn't easy for that.
Also, you muSt be open to critiquing.*
Good luck!! The contest will close when we receive the winning logo. No deadline! There is no material prize, just mention on the Dedication page, a post about your logo, and, with permission**, your logo will be used as the logo FOR the Art Drawer!!
Have fun! All entrants will be mentioned in the final post.
AND DON'T FORGET TO SIGN YOUR FIRST NAME AND LAST INITIAL REAL SMALL IN THE CORNER OR SOMETHING. When we draw it out and do stuff to get it onto the computer, your first name and last initial will be written quite small in the corner or somewhere. Also, if you could, please include your name written in the email. Just so we spell it right.
*This means that we might change your logo a bit to fit our needs. Say you drew this really good drawing, and you forgot to add .blogspot in the .com. We would have to change that, now wouldn't we? This means just basically means you are okay with us possibly changing it a bit, but you would still get full credit. :)
**To stay away from copyright and royalty stuff, when you send us your entry, you are saying that you knowingly have sent us a picture that may potentially be the logo, and that we have the rights to it. We aren't saying you can't draw it afterward, but you can't say that you yourself own it. We own it after you send it (you will still have full credit for drawing and designing it, though). Also, just to be sure you know, you must include in your email that you give us permission to use it as our logo. Just incase.

Halloween Costume
Some people are going to be vampires, or zombies, or something like that. How may people do you know that are going as a Victorian-Era Newspaper-boy? You know, the ones that ride their bikes and throw the newspapers to someone's house? Yeah, except REALLY old-fashioned. If you are a big fan, I mean BIG fan of the Art Drawer, I think you should dress as one, too. Haha! LOL! JK! Only I am. I mean, you can, but I am not asking you to. But it would be cool if you did. ;) Pics to come!
