If I add in what I wrote during lunch and the almost 1300 words tonight I’ve got close to the 1500 mark, which makes me rather happy. For the first time in months I feel like I am getting back into the swing of writing again. It’s really nice having a project to properly get stuck into. Where me and Owen are working on Project Delphi I have put aside a lot of my own personal writing so I haven’t had a project aside from Delphi to focus on. This is something that I need to work on because when we have been between drafts I have felt like I’m at a loose end. I remember a writer talking on a podcast (I can’t remember who the writer was, or which podcast it was on) and she was saying that she has three projects on the go at any one time. One which she was writing, one that she was editing and one that she was planning. So I think going into next year I will try and plan out what I’m going to be working on, and try and follow that method, although to start off with I may just go for two projects and not the three. No matter who I structure it I’m planning to dive into a solo project. My story from NaNoWriMo last year is bashing my brain in an attempt to get free so that’s what I will be working on for the start of the year.

I would just like to finish up saying a few words in tribute to actor Michael Clarke Duncan who has sadly passed away. Duncan is an actor that I first saw in Michael Bay’s Armageddon, and he’s role in The Green Mile is one of the best by any actor that I have ever seen. But I would like to recount a scene from Armageddon as one of my favourite scenes that he was in. AJ (Ben Afflect) and the Russian Cosmonaut (Peter Stormare) are having an argument and Bear (Michael Clark Duncan) is sitting between them silently and eventually gets the cosmonaut yell in he’s ear, and he just sits there silently. I love that scene because Duncan just responds to the other actors, but he is not trying to take over the scene like a lot of actors would have done. I will miss seeing him in films. R.I.P. Michael Clarke Duncan.
