For NaNo, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to write my urban fantasy idea. For one thing, I just want to get it out of my head and NaNo will force me to focus on it. For another, I don't plan on publishing it since it's in the same vein as Butcher, Armstrong and Harrison, which is probably a fad. And to be honest, the vampire urban fantasy (though

I'm thinking science fiction. A little like Johnny Mnemonic, but with an operating system and without a cybernetic dolphin in Newark, NJ. :)

Ooo. That sounds interesting.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That buddy icon! If It is my goal in life to write prose as pretty as Ray Bradbury does. *sparkle*

Annyway. I saw that video on tv the other night. O_o I find it scary. I like nature to work like it should. LOL. When I see stuff like that, I find it hard to justify eating meat, see? ;)

My Nanowrimo is called "Fat Groupie" and it's about exactly what it sounds like. I doubt I'll finish what I'm working on before then and it's next in line on my "to-write" list.

Hee! Thanks! My goal is to write half as good as Bradbury did in his earliest work. His later work...leaves something to be desired (talking penii wtf?).

One day, I was in Buffalo, in a used-book store, when I found a copy of Martian Chronicles. I picked it up, and went next door to an ice cream shoppe. I got my ice cream and started flipping through the book, remembering old stories that I liked and moving from passage to passage.

Two women were staring at me and muttering to each other. I tried my best to avoid it. Finally, one of them came over to me and said, "Excuse me...are you really reading that book THAT FAST?"

I smiled, and I explained to her that I knew the stories already, and I was just flipping through my favorites parts, and I mostly knew them by heart already. It was kinda funny at the time.

That's hilarious.

I really need to reread the Martian Chronicles. I believe that was my first taste of sci-fi literature and haven't read it in ages.
