About this Writing Stuff...
I have five videos remaining in this mother-lovin' Windows Server 2008 course. I have finished the original twenty four videos, now it's a matter of sitting through the six new ones that were appended just a few weeks ago to address the changes in Windows Server 2008 R2. Although most of the videos average about 35 minutes in length, pausing to take notes and screen shots then typing up the notes afterwards more than doubles the time. At least the trainer is fairly entertaining! I haven't drifted off to sleep yet while watching.
What all of this means, though, is that I have had to put aside the first draft of my second novel for nearly a month now....dammit. I've barely written a page in all that time. It also means that I had to put aside the Ben Bova novel that I was enjoying, Mars Life. The good news is that my life should get back on track this coming weekend and starting next week, I can finish the last four scenes needed to complete the first draft.
Anyway, onward to this week's selection of articles. October is National Book Month, and the National Book Foundation would to help you celebrate! And while you're celebrating, drink some kool-aid compliments of Joe Konrath and follow him on a race to the bottom. Speaking of Kool-Aid, paranormal author Jami Gold adds some flavor of her own to the debate. Jody Hedlund offers some comfort for when you feel like a nobody and Shelli Johnson reminds us that persistence matters (I'm down wit dat). Orna Ross tells us why writers should meditate and for comic book fans, the Spider-Man Vault is now in stores!
