Cookin

Second draft of my first screen is completed, printed out, and simmering on my desk. I am breaking the story of my next project for the next few days. Then it's back for a final edit before I send it out to folks for a read.

Stay tuned.

Damn I love google...


I've been muscling with a story point for the last week. I decided to toss out some ideas into google and see what comes back.

To my utter suprise and delight I found my answer...

Cold Forging! I know it doesn't make a lot of sense now but it will really take my story in a neat and unexpected direction.

Forging ahead!

Conversations with my son....

A new series for my faithful readers which includes my wife and the two hack bots scanning my blog for emails.

Conversations with my son...

Back to School
Son: Where is Mommy?
Me: She is at school .(Regsitration but I didn't feel the need to make the distinction.)
Son: (Incredulous) School?
Me: Yes, she is going back to school.
Son: Why? (You learn to love this word as a parent.)
Me: It's like your Mario Galaxy game. Each level gets harder. As you gain more levels in school you get payed more (in theory).
Son: Can you pause it?
Me: Yes, Mommy paused it for 8 years.

The Great Avocado Debate
Mommy: I don't like them.
Son: Why? (Awesome.)
Mommy: I don't like the texture.
Son: Take the texture out (duh).

Death
Son: Daddy, are you old?
Me: ....

Stay tuned!

Testing John Augusts Scrippets... Slightly modified for Blogger and my theme.

In the final scene, Mia and Josh both admit they don’t really understand what happened. That's important.

MIA

I don’t know if the world got invaded, or if this is something we created ourselves...

JOSH

It’s nano-technology from the future.

MIA

Really.

JOSH

I have no idea.

IQ Crash is back...

On a whim I checked a blog that had been dormant for some time.... IQCrash. Sure enough he started back up again this year.

He is a crazy bastard and unfortunately some of the shit he spews actually sounds like myself sometimes.

Good to see your posting again. Writing an hour a day has been a huge boost to me. Here's to you keeping it up.
