Writerly Ways

Since I'm still sick, no thinking thoughts on writing other than I was reading an article from the creator of Suzume (the trailer I posted yesterday) talking about doing original stories, something movies and tv really need to consider more. I'm tired of reboots. I've watched more of Night Court and it got worse.

Oh and I'm doing Camp Nano. Is anyone else?

Also next time Dana take a con flyer. I missed the voice actress for Peppermint Patty. I had no idea they were even collecting talent for this thing. I'm disappointed but it's entirely my fault.
