Update...though not fully updated...

A lot going on...hopefully I can get the info out soon...the Nov. challenge hit two snags. A) I realized that what I was writing wasn't as top notch as I'd thought it was and B) I was behind over 2,500 words...then something clicked, the story took a drastic turn towards the surreal and I was suddenly re-inspired...here is the progress...

no writing...no energy...no problem

Okay, so last night I didn't write...Iwas sort of celebrating some good news, but I don't want to reveal too much quite yet. Also, the energy sent from Ausralia was somehow mangled in the conversion from the metric system and what actually arrived was a small blue puppy on a skooter...sorry...just taught a lesson on Dali at the University...mind is still a bit messed up.

all alone in the world of November...

Well, it's official, everyone I know who was at one time or another involved with the November challenge has dropped out...some for ligit reasons, some with lame excuses...I do not judge...much...regardless...here is my progress...

GREAT day for writing...

Ben is along for the ride and is sending me "force-like" energy as he is writing vicariously through me...I'm not really even sure what that means (due mainly to the fact that I'm so darn tired), but it seems to be helping...the spoon is gone, the fork is missing and I can't figure out where the heck the knife, coffee cup or soup bowl is now...dog gone those Smiths...I need a cookie!

YEEE HAWWWWWWWW!!!!!

I'm back again...After falling way behind due to life-stuff and all sort of distractions, including MATRIX REVOLUTIONS, (which I will review shortly), registering students, teaching, rrewriting a musical, designing stes for a musical that I'm not even really involved in and other such nonsense...I have pulled ahead in the challenge...I've finished PART ONE - OF PAST AND PASSIONS and have advanced to what I believe could be a thrilling rollercoster ride with PART TWO - BREATHLESS. Here is my progress as of today (or night as the case seems to be).

Great day for writing...

just noticed that the time seems to be off here in the wonderful world of BLOGGER...I must once again go in and adjust the time...it is actually around 11:58 pm on Tuesday night...or there abouts...darn clock seems to be off on the computer as well.

Back on track

I'm almost to the 1/3 mark of the story and I'm quite pleased with the way the story is unfolding...though this first third really deals a lot with the characters as highschool and early college kids so I'm focussing a lot on romance and relationships where as part two will be a lot more intense regarding the story line. In fact, the second part will be much more...oh, how do I put it...well, it will be deeper...in fact, as usual, I have no idea what the specifics of part two will be...it's always my favorite part because I usually have part one and three worked out but have no idea the story in between...All I know is that I want it to definetly take a harder edge and be gritty

I think...though I'm not sure, that I might post part one on my web site after day 10...we'll see...
