Cool stuff, but tedious process.)<br /><br />I'm waiting for the chapter. (taps foot pseudo-impatiently) <br /><br />Actually, I need to finish my own writing stuff, too. Maybe I can get some slush reading and some writing done while babysitting the printer.Keanan Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638962927055276969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-54608127453988267582009-04-13T11:42:00.000-05:002009-04-13T11:42:00.000-05:00I was intrigued that one of the minor plot points ...I was intrigued that one of the minor plot points in the recent film "Knowing" by Alex Proyas, and starring Nic Cage, features a closet and a haunted character. It was a critical plot point, and I was immediately reminded of this collaborative novel. It was kind of eerie, really, drawing comparisons and contrasts between the two stories, sort of meta-eerie, eerie on a different level. It was as if Proyas was showing his own take on what was in the closet, and why.Phyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308107138465049785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-43454715875820653842009-04-06T01:38:00.000-05:002009-04-06T01:38:00.000-05:00Phy - Whoo hoo!

When that happens, I feel like I can write forever.<BR/><BR/>Alex - Yeah, I have a lot of unfinished work lying around, but when I'm stumped with the current piece, I go back and work on other projects. Keeps me somewhat limber, in the literary sense.<BR/><BR/>As for helping out at F&T, sometimes it's great fun, when the stories or the poems are well-written and interesting. Sometimes, I feel like I'm slogging through literary soup, looking in vain for a tasty morsel. I'm only the slush reader, though, and I proofread/copyedit; Scott's the editor, and he makes the final decisions.Keanan Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638962927055276969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-52547909760369825092009-04-04T20:36:00.000-05:002009-04-04T20:36:00.000-05:00Sounds like you've got a host of interesting stori...Sounds like you've got a host of interesting stories you're working on.

I've studied what's gone on before, and have some ideas on how to advance the novel by one more step for the whoever comes next.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, I'm finally writing the next chapter of The Adventures of the Sky Pirate after being stuck there since October.
