Let's get the geek out. I am watching that Star Trek movie that came out a year ago. And I am loving it. It gives me the tingles. So there you have it...geek to the core. Hahaha

Testing, testing. Check one, two, three. Is this thing on?

Wow, it's been a long freaking time since I've written in my blog. I've been mostly Live Journalling it, but I figure if the blog is still in existence I might as well use it. There are times lately when I've wanted to write in the LJ and couldn't because the server was in update mode. That's so frustrating. I'll be back to write more later. I've got work to do for now.

Read this quote in a thread on the SDMB. It's freaking hilarious!

"They told me if I voted for Gore, then gas prices would skyrocket, the government would get bigger, and the world would turn on America... and they were right!"

Thanks Mr2001 ;)

I can't believe it, I'm almost afraid to admit it...I agree with Howard Stern. *shudder* He had a lot to say this morning about the Michael Moore movie that's written about shrubya's dirty dealings and how it's being blocked from release by Disney for politically motivated reasons. Stern warned about the dick-tator and the future of our country if we don't disallow his abuse of our country. I can't believe it, I actually agree'd with everything he said. And I strongly support Kerry, obviously. He's the only hope for the future of America. And something scary, the guy who came up with and designed the electronic voting machines to be used in the next presidential election has come out and said publically that he supports shrubya and will do whatever he can to help him continue to be president. (0)_(0) Electronic voting. Get it? No paper trail, no recount. No way to recount. I feel this large wooden stick being inserted in the proverbial American anus, and shrubya's holding the other end with both hands and turning the nob with a giant shit-eating grin on his face. :(

I'll post cites to my sources shortly.

I should post this here because I had it backwards on the previous entry. The blog is for my personal life and interesting articles. My live journal is for my writing updates. From now on. ;)

Today I finished and posted my last assignments due for the 2YN course. Holy pretzels in a twist! It feels GOOD to be caught up. I didn't like having that looming over my head. And next week we move into the plotting portion of the course. I like plotting. And I'm sure the bulk of my worldbuilding will come in that section. I can't fight how I operate. What would be the point? *Pats self on the back* Yay me!

I'm behind in my novel writing course. We're just finishing up the worldbuilding section and I have 4 assignments to do before we move on. My problem? I can't figure worldbuilding out. Previously, my world came out when I wrote. Now we have to sit and map everything out before getting to the story. For me that's backwards. I consider the story and then the world. So the world fits the story and I'm not creating a whole bunch of erroneous stuff. My time is precious. So maybe that's why I'm not keen to worldbuild yet. But I promised myself I'd the course the way it's outlined. At least I learned I prefer to do it the other way around. What to do, what to do.

This past weekend afforded itself some time for my writing. Thank God, I was starting to go a little crazy. Alright, so I'm already crazy, but you know what I mean. I managed to finish a few assignments for my 2YN novel, which is tentatively titled The Prophecy. I've got 3 more assignments to do before I'm caught up, but they're generic worldbuilding assignments. I'll do them at my own pace. Today I'm going to try to write a scene about the "War of the Gods" which is backstory for The Prophecy. I'm pretty excited by it.

As far as Savage Eden is concerned, I'm writing an interview with Eden from the perspective of a reporter. It won't be in the book, but I need some help getting back into the character. I'm sick of not working on it. I don't know why I'm procrastinating . But I'll admit life's been a bit tedious lately.

I hate to admit it, but my vampire trilogy is drilling it's way back into my brain. This is the project I was working on last year. I shelved it to work on The Prophecy for the 2YN course. The project doesn't want to be shelved. It wants to be written. It's getting increasingly difficult for me to to put it off.

All other writing projects are shelved temporarily until I get caught up on my worldbuilding for The Prophecy. That means my articles have to wait.

Oh, and someone please remind me to critique my writing groups pieces before wednesday. Thanks! :)
