The One after the Hiatus

Okay, so it's been six months. I've been battling depression and while we can't say I've beaten it just yet, we can at least call it a stalemate. That out of the way, I'll try to get everyone up to date.

I've watched a few movies, read a few books, and seen some tv shows. Most were okay, Iron Man 2 was the best movie of the year in my book. I started out good on the reading, but have stalled mid year. I still could beat out my previous years totals on page count and book totals though. But with Nanowrimo approaching in November, I may not.

I do plan on doing Nanowrimo again this year and on the heels of last year's last minute success, I not only think and hope I can do it, I know I can since I've done it before. This year's incarnation will probably be a modern thriller instead of fantasy. Anyone reading who is interested should check out www.nanowrimo.org. It's fun and intense, but if you are of a writing bent, its worth it. Basically, you write an entire novel of 50,000 words in the 30 days of November. Has to be new stuff, and fiction; other than that, its up to you.

I'll try to keep this blog up again. Thanks for tuning in.

Yayayay! Brad is back! I'm sorry you've been feeling down...there really isn't anything anyone can do to "fix" it for you, but I wish I could. I was going to do Nanowrimo this year, but I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed before it even begins. I think I may need to wait until I finally finish this last class for my Masters and then try next year. I dunno. Glad to hear from you again! Tiff
