Updating current status
I guess now that I'm back on Blogger, it's probably a good idea to update what's going on. It's been over a year since I last blogged here, and since then I've been traveling back and forth to different blogs, never really finding comfort with any one place. I liked Xanaga because it gave me the ability to include links to books I'm reading and music I'm listening to, but aside from that, I didn't really like it because it didn't really give me the opportunity to feel like I was part of a community.
I guess that's the problem with blogging these days. I'm older than I used to be, and the whole Internet crowd seems to be younger people who seem to have different priorities and interests than I do. I run into the same problem on the IGN boards where I'm a moderator. I have a lot in common with people there, but I'm much older than most of them, so sometimes it is easy to forget that I'm often having conversations with people who are 18 or 19 years old. Sometimes it is hard to make an intellectual connection in such a circumstance (not because of age but because of similar perspective).
But now I'm back on blogger.com.
Recently, I completed either my 11th or my 12th novel (depending on how I count them). It's called The Ameriad, and it's probably my most ambitious work to date. It is a humorous Greek epic involving the founding of America after the end of the Trojan War. I am very happy with it. Now, it's just a matter of trying to get someone to read it, and then publish it.
I sent out one of my plays, Memories of Freedom, the other day and received a response that it was received by the reader. One can only hope.
This evening, I went out with a few friends and watched X-Men 3. It was better than I expected, as the critics weren't very impressed with it. I thought it did what it needed to do well, and I enjoyed it.
Stumble It!
