Moving along.

The story is now 22 pages long in a notebook I carry everywhere.   The Bus ride home seems to be the best inspiration I have ever had.   Maybe this one will continue onward...

I have realized I have two dream jobs:

1)  Published author.
2)  Writer for Role-Playing Games.   (I'm talking RPG's with old school story lines akin to Final Fantasy.   Mainly VI, VII or XII.  I could totally create that kind of world.)

Technically I have already created that kind of world some 4 or 5 times over.  All unfinished stories in my head.  There is a Sci-Fi, a Fantasy, a Post-Apocalyptic and even two strange ones involving a nut-house and the afterlife.  The current one doesn't hit any of that.  It's more of a dark and brooding semi-horror-esque-ish thing.

More to follow as the bus rides continue...

Finally writing...

So I am 13 pages into something new and I'm liking it.  I started as an experiment based on advice from my awesome sister.  I have been riding the bus home and she suggested writing about the people I see...  I don't remember the last bus ride because I was writing so much.  Hopefully this continues.

Other than that I have become a huge fan of the following bands:

Run River North
Alt-J
and especially The Head and The Heart

Good stuff.

Is this thing on?

So I swear there is some writing in the works and I am very much still alive....

Busy, busy, busy...

So this week has been busy.  I finished my 9th book while working, going to school and various other things.  However, I have been mulling over the idea of not giving up on the original novel I was working on that was about 19,000 words in, so we will see how that goes.

I did restart Skyrim again...  Which may explain some of the lack of writing.  ;)

So I'm sitting in Business Statistics...

So, I'm in class right now.  Business Stats.  I just broke 1,500 words on the story because I am not paying attention at all.

Finished Vonnegut's Hocus Pocus earlier.  Great read.

I also picked up two books by David Sedaris, a book of Tennyson poetry, a book about Moe Berg (the baseball player/spy), the Invisible Man and the highlight of my Goodwill excursion, Kurt Vonnegut's Timequake!

A good day...

Just wish this class would be over...  3 more hours.

A little but something

So I added more to the story last night.  Not a lot, but it's something.  It seems that the dialogue is coming easier than the story but the story is in my head.  We will get there people...

My voracious reading continues.  I am 5 books in to my challenge of 73 for the year with the possibility of finishing two today.  We will see how busy the day gets.

Of course nothing will be happening until I replace my driver's side tail light.  :)

Going to try to keep up with my twitter feed a little more as I write.

That is all for now.

More to follow...

Reading a lot more than I have been and I'm only about 1,000 words into the story, but at least I'm working on it.  It's a start.

Been thinking a lot about stuff...  All sorts of stuff.

Also taking a lot of notes on random things to include in my novel...  Like the fact that using a 2 upper case, 2 lower case, 2 number and 2 special character password (8 characters in all...) results in 466,161,217,600 possible password combinations.   I will find a way to get that in there somehow.

That is all for now.  Hopefully with school and work I will find more time to write...
