The New Hobbit Hole

[RosieCotton]

Me too... need to go clean stalls so they are ready for tonight! - Crap Management R US!

Hmm...Hair, did you ever think of signing Bay up for NaNoWriMo? Sounds like he has what it takes...

[Overtaxed]

Well if we're going to do this NaNo thing again next year, we have to keep in practice, right?

[RosieCotton]

I guess so!

And hopefully I can dream up another plot by next year. Maybe something that does NOT involve just about all of the most sordid cheesy SF movie cliches.

I'm thinking of maybe populating a small town with a bunch of interesting characters (based on certain characters I know) and just seeing what happens.

Maybe something that does NOT involve just about all of the most sordid cheesy SF movie cliches.

At least my story didn't involve a hyperdrive that wouldn't work.

[RosieCotton]

I guess I blended fantasy and science fiction, so maybe it isn't QUITE as cheesy as it could have been. No alien races or space ships, which I would have done a REALLY bad job with.

Hey...maybe next year I'll try for cheesy instead of crappy?

[Overtaxed]

Yes. Always aim for improvement.

He sure does! Comes naturally for him!

I swear more comes out than goes in....

Here is something from TORN!

Analysis of the Helm's Deep Battle... Explains the battle both for folk like me who need help with battle scenes, and also for the guys who might dig this stuff.

This may have slipped under the radar yesterday, but the NZ Herald also had fantastic PDF document depicting the layout of the battle of Helm's Deep to go with its article on Karl Urban. It's 4.4MB, and reminds me a lot what was in the Two Towers Visual Companion. [More] Spoilers! Get Acrobat PDF Reader.

Yes. Always aim for improvement.

It WOULD be fun in some ways to really TRY to write a cheesy novel. Encompass ALL the typical scenarios from EVERY decade (i.e. 50's everything was radioactive, 60's we were going to ruin the planet and hafta live underground...all the way through 90's DNA mutations and such like), all in one compact cheese-ball novel.

[Overtaxed]

Think of it as writing the ideal movie for MST.

[RosieCotton]

Exactly! And I've got my very own peanut gallery to get input from!

[RosieCotton]

Tea gone, getting hot chocolate. The end is in sight! I shall triumph!

And be what...Princess of Crapdom???

[Overtaxed]

Hooray! I've almost got that Inion Ni Scannlian learned!

[RosieCotton]

That's the one 2J sent us, right? I should learn that.

I gotta get through this novel thing so I can get ON with my LIFE!

[Overtaxed]

Yes. It's the 5th track of the Luansa "Merry Sisters of Fate" CD.

[RosieCotton]

I can't remember if that's the one my brother has or not. I need more CDs. Well...first I need a job. But THEN, I need more CDs.

[Overtaxed]

Here is a piece of that cut from the CD.

[JenB]

I like your cheese idea. I think I'm halfway there already!

[JenB]

Yay! My posts are back!

[RosieCotton]

I like your cheese idea.

Maybe I'll use it to pass the time until next NaNoWriMo? Could be fun...no research, no trying to make anything realistic, no nothin'!

I have one more long chapter to write, and I'm stalling. Goofing around on the internet reading song lyrics. :-)
