It's done! The story based on a beast-man "hero"-type kid is in the bag for the first draft anyway. I got to finish it on the 27th...exactly one month after I started it on Thanksgiving. That's pretty neat I think. On to the next one though...exactly what it will be about I'm not sure yet, there a couple of ideas floating around in the primordial upstairs soup.

Christmas is coming...

as my elders used to say...and this short story about the monastery is still in the first draft form. Hopefully I can finish it up today before the family get-togethers get into full swing. I'd settle for "before New Years"! You know, it's not that long or complicated but with school and family being your first priorities, well you have to take care of business. I have the next couple of weeks off of everything except family stuff so here we go...WRITE MAN!

Slow Going...

on thias short hero story. Had to work a bit today and get the kids ready for school tomorrow. Okay so I watched a bit of football as well including watching the Lions die a slow death. On TV only because it was an away game as they can't seem to sell a home game out anymore. Good job fans...stick it to 'em! Anyways, any excuse to dodge the job at hand and that's not the way it's supposed to be although it seems harder at the holidays.

GRRR! Back to it kid, c'mon a bit more before bed.

Notes from the desk

Coming up with something new always gets me going. Lots of ideas running through my head right now about superheroes and the like...trying to keep the ideas fluid though and not too cemented in anything specific just yet...short stories centralized around one or two characters...they all tie in somehow but see that's the whole cement shoes thing again...don't need that right now...heroes, heroes, heroes...hmmmm
darker side or more human side to these guys...nothing is what it seems...
Working on one about a boy living with monks in a European (I think) mountainside monestary...5 pages in over Thanksgiving so far. I should post some of it but it's freaking late...
