Odds and Ends
Writing Challenge: A big pile of cool points to Eric and Millo for their very nice entries on this week's writing challenge. And one big sympathy cool point to atomic bombshell.
NaNo: Looks like their servers are up again, so if you're interested, you're now able to sign up.
GERA: You may have noticed the word count stuck at 6k for quite some time now, but, believe it or not, I've actually been doing a fair amount of work on it. The only reason I haven't updated is because most of that work is scribbled into a notebook and hasn't yet been typed up. Hopefully, when I do get it all typed up, I'll be pushing that 10k mark again.
Nerdly Salivations: Let me state my position about video games; I think they're cool, but rarely do I go out and by one. To put it frankly, most games just don't get me very excited. But when one does, I become obsessed with it. Currently, I'm in the throes of obsession for a game called The Movies which isn't even due out until early November. Being a film buff, the premise that you can run your own movie studio holds immense appeal to me. But here's the kicker - you can make the movies. No joke. There are upwards of 7000 sets to shoot on, customizable actors and actresses, and...well, I can't do the range of options justice in a short post. You'll have to check out the site to see it for yourself.

Ok, here's a stupid question: where can I read Eric and Millo's entries? I thought the challenge was posted as a comment to the writing challenge entry itself, alas, I can only see mine and one other there!
I think you're looking at the wrong writing challenge - I don't think you entered this one. Scroll back to the post on Sunday the 2nd.
I'm confused. What about the one with the blade of grass?
If this is just my brain freezing, I blame the day I've just had - a bit "challenging" as they say in the corporate world.
Ah, yes. I believe I entirely forgot to hand out cool points on that one. Oops!
Where did you get your 60K goal, if you don't mind me asking?
daedalus - to be perfectly honest, it's somewhat arbitrary. It's a sequel to a piece that was 47k and I imagined that this time around I had a bit more story to tell, but not too much, so 60k seemed a good number.
