Things I'll be writing next week

These are the stories I'll be working on the week of Jan 29-Feb 4

My main focus will be on a yet to be named short story that focuses on a little boy whose dad just lost his job. My goal is to show how the sudden changes and extra stress effect and confuse him. I'fe had a little trouble with this one, but I think it's finally revealed its tone to me

2. The second one is for a short story anthology that's going to feature alternative history stories with a historical bent. I'm going to wait to reveal the subject, but I'll say it features rabbits

3. The almost final story is the 13th chapter of Dragon Wars. I think this one may take awhile. I want to dig deeper into the characters, introduce the magic (it has actually been there for awhile, but it's not obvious unless you know,) and I want to show the dragons are more dangerous and on their way.


I know what you're thinking. What did he mean by almost final? I've pulled out an old graphic novel story and started tinkering. I'll have more details later

Recent loves and hates

I thought it would be nice to share a few things I've bought or watched and let the world know if I loved them or hated them.

I recently finished watching 07Ghost (what's available on cruncyroll.) It was bad. The story was confusing and random with horrible pacing. The characters were stereotypes, and the big climatic battle of what I watched turned out to be an illusion that didn't really happen. 07 Ghost makes my hate list

I recently watched The Trip, a British comedy about a trip. It's, but the characters are real sort of along the same vein as Curb Your Enthusiasm. Though there is no real plot to speak of the characters, their banter, and interactions made it a pretty enjoyable movie. This is a movie I liked. (What? I can't love or hate everything :p)

Now to finish on a positive note, here is something I love my kindle fire. I know it's not a full blown tablet, but it runs great and does everything I need. Especially with the android market available. I just need to get more books on it. :)
