Not writing right now
Posted by Lon Widdicombe on May 9, 2008
I’m not doing any writing this week; just trying to spend some time with my family before I leave next week. I should have a good bit of time to write at the end of next week. I will be signing in and getting thing set up, but I don’t see a lot of work getting done until the end of May. This should be good for my writing and looking forward to that part, if not the part about being away from my family for 6 months.
One good thing about not doing any writing this week was that I got to do some reading. I just finished The Ghost Brigades, by John Scalzi. It’s a sequel to Old Man’s War and his blog has been added to my blog roll on the right side of this post. There was one page in, The Ghost Brigade that made me laugh out load and made my wife look at me like I was crazy. It’s page 98 and describes a newly minted soldier discovering science fiction. If you don’t read the book at least go to a book store and read this one page. If you’re a real sci-fi reader you will have read the same books and I’m sure it will make you tuck the book under you arm and go straight to the counter to buy it. So be warned, if you don’t want to buy this book DO NOT READ page 98.
Let me know if you read this page and don’t LOL. Well I’m of to see Iron Man with my kids.
