Cloud Atlas, NaNoWiMo, and Writing
It has been awhile since I posted here and I miss it. My days are busy as I did get my store opened. Unfortunately, it is not doing well at all, however, the conventions have been fantastic. But relying on the conventions to keep the store afloat is like gambling. One bad convention and the house of cards comes tumbling down. But I have a spare moment so I am updating. I miss all of you!
I want to see Cloud Atlas. It is supposed to be fantastic and very thought provoking. It is from the people who brought you The Matrix. But it has very few showings left since Twilight's last movie has come out. I can go to PA or wait until I am back in Michigan and have a reeeeaaally long Thanksgiving. I think I will aim for the latter!
And it looks like my brother-in-law, Chris, is attempting the NaNoWiMo. I wanted to but with the store, writing at all has been its own challenge. My book is sitting at 2,045 pages, with 341,659 words. But it isn't a very accurate gauge yet as much of it is framework that will be changed massively as the gaps get filled in properly. So the word count will go down and then up.
The really sad thing for me right now is that I have a food section and I have permission from All-Recipes-dot-com to use them as a reference. But I have to let them know which recipes of theirs I have used. I have no idea right now as I use several sources at once. So I see a new word file in my future listing which foods come from which sources specifically. It will get a bit strange when I wind up referring to myself as some are my own creations getting mentioned. (Mind you, I am not listing recipes, just suggested dishes.) Still, you would not believe how many files I have to have open at the same time to track this gargantuan beast! Still, I will cheerfully admit, it is a good problem to have!
