I started my short story that I mentioned in the last post. I think I'm going to call it Helping Hand, so that's how I'll I refer to it for now. I have really gotten much done but the day is young.
Last Thursday I went to see a band called Brena and they were awesome. They have a very cool mainstream rock style going on. I liked them so much that I just uploaded their new album on my iPod.
Yes, that's right. I now have an iPod. After years of saying that I want one, but not buying one for various reasons, an iPod nano has managed to fall into my hands. So now I can create all kinds of awesome playlists for all my writing endeavors.
I started reading Lord of the Flies and I just bought the 38 Most Common Fiction Writing Mistakes. Both are pretty short books. I like to envision me having them both done by the end of the week, but I hate to get ahead of myself.

I wonder if one of the 38 most common fiction writing mistakes is "referencing an easily-verified fact or technique and getting it exactly wrong." One example is a climactic battle scene in Braveheart, which takes place in a wide open field, but was actually supposed to be the Battle of Stirling Bridge - a tactical victory based on the ability to control both sides of the bridge, cuutting the English army down to easily-handled clusters of soldiers. Another classic is in Lord of the Flies...but I'll wait to see if you spot it yourself!
Fill your iPod well!
Work hard on your story!
