Well I have just recently seen the new Start Trek, overall I think the movie was good.

Characterisation and choice of actors was very well done, although the story what there was of one left a little to be desired.

I'm hoping that now they've got the character intro's out of the way, they can actually find some decent stories to produce.

It will also be interesting to see if they go for a new TV series or stick with the movie format...

Oh one more thing, they seemed obsessed by Shaky Cam, and playing with juddering, jerking and zooming in and out, so if you get seasick be careful :(

Well it's been a while since I posted anything here, I'm having to remove dust and cobwebs just to find everything again.

The ideas have been there but the will to write them down hasn't but having just finally completed an update to my SGA fic and working on the next chapter I figure it's definitely time to find my LJ spirit again :)

Apparently somewhere in the middle, as follows:

 

You are late-sleepy relaxation, the half-awake moment when you realize it's morning, but you don't have to get up, because there's no place you have to be. You are that cozy spot under the covers where everything feels temporarily perfect, even if you know you'll eventually have to wiggle out and start the day. Maybe you're the artistic type, who doesn't function well on a normal schedule. Sleep's important to you, and you like the freedom of sleeping as late as you want (especially since that is closely related to the freedom to stay up as late as you want). You like to roll out of bed, put on some comfy clothes, and get a laid back start to the day. If not everything on your list gets accomplished, no worries. Your only priority is having no priorities – you just want to take things at a slow, mellow pace.

Not too far from the truth. LOL

He was one of kind and made a huge difference to the people of Nepal with his time and energy raising funds to build roads, bridges, airports, schools and hospitals.

Once again life proves it has no favourites as the following news shows.

I admire the way he is apparently handling it, but I wish it didn't happen to people like Terry who has entertained many people over the years with his books and various creations.

Well after NaNoWriMo I was beginning to wonder if my brain had fried but apparently not.

Following is the result of a plot bunny for SG Atlantis - teaser only so far as I haven't decided exactly how to proceed with it yet.

Spoilers: Bits of Season 1 thru 3

Yeah, I won NaNoWriMo and it was hard!!!!!!



It nearly beat me but five days without much in the way of sleep and a massive push on the last day gave me my 50,000 words. Of course at the moment it is complete dren and needs to be re-written and edited to a fare thee well, but hey they told me I didn't have to. Which I might add is very tough to do as my internal editor is a 1,000 lb gorilla standing over my shoulder going 'NO, that is not right change it'.
I believe next year (I can't believe I'm saying this), that I'll try sending him on holiday first and doing the 50,000 words the smart way i.e. 1600 per day rather than the agony of the last minute. I'd have to say though that the sci-fi story I chose to do was not easy and is still not even finished but all this writing gave em a better sense of where its going and what i need to do to make it interesting.
So the next month or two is going to continue the story and I can finally get back to my Farscape Fic as I need to finish Chapter 6. Somehow in the midst of all the craziness of November 5 got finished and handed over to [info]daiseechain for betaing, all though given recent events I'm just happy she is around to do it at all (no hurry btw). Hope your starting to feel a bit better and remember to take it easy.

Cheers
Valoki

So NaNoWriMo started out well was writing with characters and plot in mind and then the train derailed with a crash. Apparently  I didn't have as good a grasp on my characters and plot as I thought.

So I've ended up finishing Chapter 5 of my Farscape fic instead which turns out to be the longest chapter yet and am working on Chapter 6 while I try to figure out where my WriMo story and characters disappeared off to - without me. I'm pretty sure they're out there somewhere.
Got the third week encouragement for Wrimo'ing which was from Neil Gaiman very interesting commentary on writing. In essence you need  to do it word by word, dragged out from whichever hiding place they've got to, as long as you keep writing.

Thanks Neil will be soldiering on.

I've just joined Nanowrimo, 50,000 words in one month. Aaaarghhhhhh.

I've had enough trouble putting together the chapters for my FS fic.

Oh well given my last post was who needs sleep, I guess we're about to find out :)

Also here is a fun way to pass the time, do some good and learn new words all at once courtesy of my other half.

I think I'm going to use some of these words if I can just for the fun of it.

Cheers Valoki
