Two very important topics as I once again attempt to develop a habit for blogging. I received in the mail a brand new invitation to retry my hand at Nanowrimo again this year. Well, I believe in second chances and the idea is a good one to develop the habit of writing (which is part of the reason I started this Blog in the first place--but I will have more on that later).
Right now I must state for all adults and children over 14: GO SEE SERENITY!!!!!! Currently 81% fresh on the Rotten Tomatoes Site (87% in the cream of the crop section!).
I am, admittedly, a big fan of Firefly, the aborted TV series, and I have apparently liked nearly everything Joss Whedon has produced, so I'm, as the saying goes, partial to the project.
Find out where it is playing and go see it. It is a truly fine piece of action adventure space opera with an out of this world score (very beautiful).
Okay, now that that's over, time for Nanowrimo. First of all, there's a nifty logo this year to indicate your involvement in the process. I'm unsure how I'm going to get around to it between trying to learn everything I can about the Solaris OS, rebuilding computers for my church, and trying to build some music compositions. Currently, efforts will center around doing some preliminary work before November 1, just to have some characters and situations in place. I don't want to sit down and do a cold write for a month, and I need time to organize my thoughts. If that doesn't get done, odds won't fall in favor of writing this year. However, that being said, I'm going to NOT let that dictate my involvement in the project and will write, even if it is only nonsense!
So, that's what's on my mind tonight as I slack off an evenings work. Hope all has been well with those who haven't been reading my posts before and anyone who stumbles across it.
