The Game of Thrones is About to Jump the Rails
I don’t really watch GOT. I’ve seen the first season, which was very enjoyable, but I have neither HBO or the patience and talent to obtain the series in a more illicit manner, nor the finances to buy each season. Nevertheless, I have followed how the series progressed. I, like most readers, loved watching people’s reaction to the Red Wedding, along with the other major moments like the Red Viper’s death. The memes have been great and watching the world learn to love and appreciate the Imp has been something I never really thought I would get to see. So, even though I don’t watch the show, I’ve kept up with it. There have been a lot of articles about what GOT will do if it catches up with the books. This is a valid concern, one that is stressed by the way A Feast for Crows and A Dance…
Legend of Korra Book 3 Trailer
They have a new trailer for Book (Season) 3 of the Legend of Korra. It’s good, giving absolotely no hint to story or theme, just a ton of bending action shots with an eerie musical backdrop. It’s interesting, becuase one of my main problems with the Legend of Korra from last season was the lack of action. Too much politics, talk, whining, etc. And when they did have combat or bending it was very basic, nothing creative or imaginative like I’d come to expect from Avatar. That really picked up toward the end though and I have high hopes for Book 3.
Day 11 of Writing FayTown Calling
Yep, keeping with the same number. (In case there’s any doubt, this is day 11 of the record, not day 11 since start. I’ve been writing this for like a year and a half.) Got home at about 8:30, gave my son his bath, spent a little time with him, and read him a color of his own. Then it was off to beddy-bye (we’re normally much better about that but I had class so this was a late night). I worked on half a section, knocking out a conversation between Virgil and the villain, and started on the action scene that makes up the rest of the section. It’s moving along. This was a scene from the very first draft that I had a lot of fun with so to be able to polish it up and flesh it out with more detail has been a good time. No…
Day 10 of 10 Writing FayTown Calling
My last day. Tomorrow I return to work, return to an avalanche of emails and things to take care of. This has been a good lesson, helping me to get back in the habit of writing, and more importantly, moving me leaps and bounds toward having FayTown Calling completed. I hate to end it like this, but I didn’t write much today. Getting two hours of sleep will do that. I wrote a scene and cleaned up a few other things, but that was pretty much it. That’s seven-thousand words for the weekend and I’m happy with everything I have. Going forward, I plan on keeping this up. I hope it’s enjoyable for others but really that’s to keep me accountable. I’m not committing to anything, because I can see this steadily falling to the wayside, but it’s something I plan on keeping up. I will have an update on…
Day 9 of 10 Writing FayTown Calling
It’s seven in the morning and I’m pretty sure I’m done writing for now. I got a few hours of sleep, fully intending to actually go to bed, then woke up and stayed that way. This turned out to be a mixed blessing as I then wrote 4,200 words that I am very, very happy with. The afternoon netted be over 2,000 giving me a total of around 6,500 words for day nine. That bleeds into Sunday (day 10) so I don’t really know how to count it, but whatever, I’m calling that day nine. Currently, the story is at 112, 391 words. If you’re scratching your head at that total, that’s because of a lot of cannibalization of previous words. Those don’t get counted in my word count for the day, but obviously do for the total. Because so much is getting recycled, and so much getting cut because…
