Feb 4 – Day 35 – Writin’ my Doom!
I’m making a day up here so I’ll give you my half serious half kidding half not really serious but totally serious….romantic comedy novel. Chapter One is up and running here. Enjoy. Comments and feedback is welcome.
I worked my butt off today at work. Didn’t get much else done. And so thus ends this catchup day post.
Day 19 – Jan 19th – Writing Fool
Today has turned into a great day and it mostly has to do with my writing. I haven’t written a thing fictional wise this month and it was getting to me. I finally sat down today and pounded out over 1,300 words. It was a fun write and I have to take a moment to extend thanks to Robert Parker for the inspiration. He passed away yesterday at the age of 77. I read all his Appaloosa novels (Brimestone, Resolution, Appaloose) just at the start of January. I didn’t enjoy the settings as much as I enjoyed the characters of the series. Much of what you will be seeing in my “The Cousins’ Dahl” will have echoes and influence of Mr. Parker. I am now going to have to read his Spenser series along with Jesse Stone novels to catch up on what many call some his best writing.
Behind the Writing – Columbine (part 1)
editors note: this is a ongoing series as I begin to write a final column for the Lullaby for Columbine Project. Feel free to comment and ask questions in the comment section below.
Writing for the ten year anniversary of the Columbine Massacre is without a doubt a tall order, as I am learning. To try and pull the last ten years together into one simple post is something I didn’t expect would be this hard, but it has become a great weight upon the heart and soul. I’ve completed about 684 words and it’s a very rough draft. As I wrote it I began to feel those old memories and feelings bubbling up again from the depths.
AMC Best Picture Showcase in Review
This morning came far too early for my particularly late sleeping tastes. In fact, I almost hit the snooze button and rolled over. Almost. You see, this morning began an odyssey of movie watching geekdom unparalleled to anything see before. At least for this blogger. AMC Theatres has been doing this for the past few years, but I apparently didn’t get the memo until a few weeks ago when the buzz began to build.
The Oscar Showcase is a genius of a plan. Every year before the bling infested glitzy overload event known as the Academy Awards plays across our televisions, AMC Theatres wrangles together a day of Oscar Nominated movies for viewing by the general public. For the cheap price of thirty dollars, we all get a full day of fantastic film footage.
The social media experiment has taken off with AMC and they’ve actually hired a full time guy to handle that aspect of the machine. With his help, AMC has taken the unique step of asking bloggers, twitterers and others to attend events and blog, vlog and twitter about the entire day. I was among the many chosen. Today was the culmination of that and I have to say it’s started out very well. Five movies will equal about 13.5 hours of moving pictures playing across the screens nationwide.
I’ll be doing my best to review these movies and talk about the experience as this article unfolds. There’ll be video, pictures and of course words to paint the picture. So get ready. Here…we..GO!
