It’s been a very busy week, mostly of writing articles for
Examiner.com of which you can read the latest here. However, I have been working on my fiction more than ever.
Not having a second job like I did a year ago allows for that. However, that
may not be lasting very long. (I’m a seasonal worker for the state.)
I got the strangest story idea from the strangest situation
that happened to me at the museum that I visited today on this Free Museum Day which
occurs every year about this time here in Sacramento. The story idea came about
by way of a photo of a celebrity that I was observing who’s name I prefer not
to mention here. Maybe you’ll find out
who it was whenever I come around to writing and publishing the story which
will probably be a dark supernatural tale and so that’s how strange the
occurrence was.
Anyway, I’ve been working on new fiction as well as my book
of fiction that I’m planning to self-publish by spring of this year. I’m
titling it The Fool’s Illusion which
you can read an introduction to and an excerpt from the title story here. So far I’ve been
working on a cover illustration for it.
Not really anything that much more special going on. As far
as science fiction and fantasy outside my own go, Chronicle just released yesterday which I personally haven’t seen
yet and am not sure how good it is although it does look interesting and kind
of intense. It’s about a group of teenage boys who gain super powers that get
out of control. Like really out of
control. It has its humourous parts though, which I guess would be comic
relief.
I still have yet to see, what is supposed to be, George Lucas’s last
mainstream film (besides the fourth Indiana Jones film that has been said to be
in the plans) before he retires from this kind of film making and return to his
earlier ambition of making more symbolic and experimental movies, according to
a New York Times article. The movie is Red Tails and has been out for about a week. The NY Times also
says that his experimental work will most likely only screen in certain
theaters that specialize in such films.
Personally I’m hoping these alternative movies will make it to some of the
indie theaters here in Sac since I love experimental films, especially when
they get into the surreal. Oh, and one of my latest articles discusses a fan film that received more than a million clicks about a week ago,
Star Wars Uncut, and so mentions Lucas’s retirement and how his
company OK’d the film which was ironic because he has had some bad criticism
from fans lately, undeservedly.
Well that’s it for this week. Until next time . . .
