Over For Another Year

Another November, another NaNoWriMo...

Learned a lot from it this year; especially that when I'm writing the novel isn't the only thing that you get out of it. Or it doesn't have to be at least. This year, out of the last three years, I've probably had the least successful novel in terms of doing stuff that I wanted to do with it, but it's given me so much more in terms of ideas and things that I think I would take away in to other writing projects.

It's also been great because I've met some really cool people who have been going through the same thing of writing a novel; we're going to start our own little writers group to encourage each other in writing - a writer is for life, not just for November (or something)! Hopefully start to pick up the pace when it comes to writing flash fictions.

Anyways, will be back on to blogging more regularly over the next few days. First up will be some thoughts on two films I've seen recently, Waltz With Bashir and Changeling.

Take care, more soon.

Short Summary

Work. Work. Oh, and work.

I've started on this year's National Novel Writing Month challenge; things are going well and I'm currently on track to hit 50,000 words by the end of the month. I'm quite enjoying what I am writing too, even if there are times where I'm wincing at just how clunky something is. That's not the point, the point is to just write and get it all out. If I decide that I like it afterwards I can go back and re-write and edit.

Have read a few books, saw Quantum of Solace and liked it a lot, thought that it really carried the themes and tone of the Ian Fleming books very well. Afterwards I went to a "Gourmet Burger Kitchen" and had a buffalo burger. Tasty.

I have been working on a few of my 101 things, but work at the moment just hasn't left me much time to blog (here or on Cognitive Blindspot). But I am enjoying life, and things seem fine and dandy, dandy and fine.

Now back to work!
