Comment on some people have real problems by kenn

Well said, Syl.

Honestly, I have a private goal set for myself at the end of November 30 and it is NOT 50,000 words. I am confident I will make my own goal and the accountability that NaNoWriMo provides puts the pressure on me to produce and not procrastinate.

Realistically, my professional and personal life (and the novel itself) may not allow for me to make the 50,000 mark. Additionally, I’m encouraging one person in particular who is following this. I know that at the end of November 30 that person will have overcome some major hurdles and so I jokingly provoke a competitive spirit to push that further.

Syl, thank you for your consistent encouragement to me long before this. You’re a superstar to me and I echo the sentiment.

you know what my problem is kenn… i type at the speed of thought AND as much
as i kept telling myself i would start and finish my novel.. i kept putting it off because of everyday life, but then you came along with this pressure of a deadline in the NaNo thingy and that’s what i do best.. write under pressure with an impending deadline.. will i be able to officially cross the finish line on time? I hope so but if I don’t I will finish because YOU put it out there for me to finish this book. if you notice my blogs on myspace, i always start off saying i’m going to be short or i’m not going to rant… but then i always end up ranting.. that’s what novel writing is about.. ranting running off at the keys or mouth with a story… and that is something i am really good at… letting my keys fly. if you are writing about something personal then its almost not fair because not only are you ranting and rambling, you’re venting and recalling…. and that brings up old demons and old memories sometimes that you didn’t intend on running into… and that can be harsh and make you want to stop writing.. well the best storys are the ones that stay close to the bone no matter how ugly it gets… and thats where the blocks can come from.. i don’t know i think i may be rambling here but i say all this to say.. it’s not a competition… i want us to compliment and encourage each other… when i click the “word counter” in my word document it amazes me in two ways… i always think i wrote more than i did…. and now because of the 50K word thingy… it double makes me see how much further i have to go.. and it makes me wonder if my story will be finished before 50k… so then maybe i wouldn’t have crossed the finishline anyway.. oh well you get my drift… keep pressin’ those keys.. looking forward to reading and reaping YOUR rewards…

peace and prose

Comment on a few November 5 newspapers by Sam I Am

Sam I Am — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 15:28:39 +0000

THANKS!! As I missed out on getting the paper the next day… maybe 30 years from now, I’d have had an old, weathered, piece of news and American history.

I wasn’t around to see our great leaders of old fight for all that we now reap, but I can say I saw this come to pass.

Comment on the art of Obama by Sam I Am

Sam I Am — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 19:02:03 +0000

I too have been following this blog, it’s awesome. Whatever the outcome of this election, it has inspired and invoked some of the greatest emotions, art, debates and thoughts in the american people in a long time!

I’m glad I can say I took part in it. Might even have a 3d Obama come out of this. LOL

King Kenn I promised I would come back after I thought about it and tell you my thoughts. I enjoyed it and thought it was very funny, but understood the message. You and your friends did a wonderful job with the acting. Thank you for sharing this with us. Take care and All Smiles:)

Very cool. And you were so convincing. I really felt that there was no time when you said your lines.

Life Cycles of Ideas
by Les Murray

An idea whistles with your lips,

Laughs with your breath
An idea hungers for your body

An alert, hot to dissemble and share,
it snatches up cases of its style
from everywhere, to start a face.

An idea is a mouth that sells
as it sucks. It lusts to have
loomed perpetual in the night colours;
an idea is always a social climb.

Whether still braving snorts
orderly its shootings, or at rest
among its own chart of world rule,
amaturing idea will suddenly want

to get smaller than its bearers.

It longs to be a poem:
earthed, accurate, immortal trance,
bucks as stirrups were
blare of the panther.

Only art can contain an idea.

**great viral video promotion idea that birthed into art**

I have to say when I saw the still, I was like crazy he looks like he’s having a baby!!!
