Coming together

I don't have a ton to talk about today. The JOB has been a bit** this weekend. I haven't been able to get as much done as I would have liked, but oh well.

 Anyone I will try to nail some things down tonight. A few days off coming, need to knock off a few errands, cut the yard, and try to get some REAL work (writing done) in the next day or so.

some of my favorite write to music

In case you ever wanted to know...

Bear McCreary:
Battlestar Sonatica
Refugees Return
Two Funerals

Hans Zimmer:
Corynorhinus
Necessary Evil
A Small Measure of Peace

Clint Mansell:
Together We Will Live Forever

Dennis McCarthy:
One Last Visit

Howard Shore:
Journey's End
Twilight and Shadow

Craig Armstrong:
Reunion

Hans Zimmer with Lisa Gerrard:
Gortoz A Ran-J'Attends

Each on these tracks is a beautiful and poignant recording that manages to bring me to the brink tears and put a smile on my face at the same time. If you need something serene to write or listen to and appreciate soundtrack music, I suggest giving these talented artist a try.

Template

Got some templating work done on JOB last night. I felt good about some of what I accomplished. I even worked on a scene while I had a little extra time.

I'll try to get some more done tonight.

Star Trek

For any of you Star Trek fans (like me), the Best of Both Worlds Movie will have a one day release in select theatres next Thursday across the county.

The Best of Both Worlds, featuring the Borg, is some of the finest Star Trek in my opinion. Seeing it on the big screen, with hi def and improved graphics and sound should be a treat.

I'll be buying season 3 of STNG sometimes this spring as the price drops.  

Today's schedule

I've got one errand to run.

Afterwards, it's writing one or maybe two scenes of a Sinful Fear.

I need to be at work by 6pm with a 13 hour shift ahead of me. The good part of that is if I have a smooth sun, It leaves me plenty of time to muse. I want to decide how I'm going to keep up with all of the characters, places and situations that I use in my 12 world universe. I imagine a spreadsheet would be the most logical, but I've never done a spreadsheet before. I need something that I can constantly update.

More later...gotta run.

12 Worlds

I honestly didn't think I'd make it back to 12 worlds but I have. I have 9 different stories to tell this year, and they can be told in this place I call 12 worlds. (Or Fear as the Known Galaxy is sometimes called.)

 Most of the 12 worlds weren't mentioned in my short story Waiting. The ideas do work however. I'll just use these locales as the story lines fit them.  The story I'm working on right now: Sinful Fear, will be on Centauri Prime or the Centauri Home world as some may choose to refer to it as. Centauri was only mentioned in Waiting.

The Belt moons of Saturn and Juipter will also be seen this year.

Long day

I've been finalizing all of my templates and work details with very little break in between.

It was worth it though. I got it ALL done.

There is nothing left but the actual writing to do, starting tomorrow morning.

I'll work to finish the second draft of a scene then.

Work tomorrow tonight.

I'm off and running.
