So my wife got my thinking the other day about a short story I wrote for a class years ago. She wanted me to try to turn it into a screenplay.

That, however, did not pan out so I’m working on it as a novel and I may finally have enough of a story to get through the whole thing.

I’ll post more about it as I get along with the story but for now I’m going to keep posting a word count on the right side. This way, I can actually see the progress and it might give me more incentive to do what I need to.

I’m guessing that it is pretty obvious that my crackberry wordpress app hasn’t been used. I honestly thought that I would get some use out of it. Whatever….

Nothing much has really been going on, not doing anything but working, taking care of the hybrid, and sleeping. I’ve come up with some ideas for a couple of things I’d like to do, and spoke to a friend who is willing to collaborate with me on a project. I think it’s going to be fun and may earn us a couple of bucks while we’re at it.

I need to get in touch with my other friend to see if she still wants to work on the project I first pitched to her 11 months ago. Not that I haven’t been in touch with her over facebook or twitter, I just keep forgetting to ask her about it.

And as for facebook, I’ve deactivated my account. Nothing on it has proved useful to me for the past few months so I figured it was time to give it a rest. Feels good to.

What I’m hoping is that the time I spent on facebook I can now turn to working on projects that really interest me.

Or at least not bore me.

Since I haven’t really used my igod touch to post much of anything, I downloaded a wordpress app to my crackberry to see if I can get more out of this blog.

So the wife got me an iPod touch for Christmas. I’ve been downloading stupid, useless apps for it but with this wordpress app I’m hoping to be able to post more to this blog.

As long as I can find a wi-fi connection, that is.

I’m not going to bore anyone with what’s been going on the last few weeks. If you don’t know by now it doesn’t really matter. I will just point out a couple of things of note.

One: There’s a couple of new 100 word stories.

Two: The writing group I work with on the 100 words will be having a reading/discussion this Wednesday, 11.November.2009 from 6.00pm to 8.00pm at NJCU in the Gothic Lounge. (Room 202 in Hepburn Hall) If you’re around the area and would like to hear some really short stories, come on by. There will be a bunch of us reading fives stories each, and then some sort of discussion, q & a thing afterward.

It’s free to so count yourself as invited.

New 100 words up.

Still not home yet, still not with regular interweb access yet, still not anywhere near normal. But I’m guessing that’s okay for now.

I’m writing this while my son is sleeping not more than three feet away from me. The wife is sleeping in another room so if the son starts crying he won’t disturb her. So far, so good though. Changed his diaper and he fell right back to sleep. My shift ends at three this morning, a mere hour and ten minutes from now.

Why am I telling you all this? Don’t really know other than to say that the new 100 words is up and you should go head over to read it.
