P-C!!! Woooooo! The same edition as James Gunn, whose brother I hung out with all night at a jazz club at PlanetComiCon in Kansas City without knowing that Sean Gunn was in Guardians of the Galaxy and Gilmore Girls and that he is James guns brother. That was my geek highlight so far. Congratulations! I am so proud of you.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The same edition as James Gunn
Different James Gunn, alas.

OK, a little detail question: Have a TV executive character who works for a cable network...has the kind of background where his parents might think "Harvard" nut he's not really as competitive as those people...where would he have gone to college?

NYU or Columbia?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Perhaps Stanford, if he's from the West Coast.

Or maybe Berkeley. Very much more laid back and hippy dippy, but still very competitive, especially in the sciences, suprisingly. They collaborate with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, which has one of the few particle accelerators in the country, which is why San Francisco is one of the three cities they have the particle accelerator conference in. (Thanks, Dad.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Hi everyone. I'm afraid I haven't spent much time here, as I've been away from writing original fiction for about, um, a decade or so. And that made me sad. Anyway, I'm glad to see that there are a lot of people on the board getting their writing on.
erikaj, I'm sorry you're not getting much response from your submissions. College-wise, maybe Boston College or one of the state colleges. Not necessarily less rigorous, academically, but less snoot factor.
Go P-C!
So, is anyone doing Nanowrimo? I'm thinking of giving it a shot this year.

Because books.
I'd like to, although I've never succeeded at it before. I've been having a really hard time carving out time for writing with my job, so I don't know if an added deadline would be a good thing or a bad thing, but I have a few different ideas, so it wouldn't be for lack of a story.
Even if it just kickstarted me into writing regularly again, it would count as a win.
Now I have to think about how I would do it. Figuring out the time to write beforehand is key for me or it just slips by.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Every year I mean to do NaNo and don't. This year I have a friend whose whole family is doing it and she's poking me with sticks to get me to keep her company. I can find time to write at least an hour a day most days. It's getting my butt in the chair and putting words on the page that's hard.
Still haven't settled on a concept. I may just start writing with no idea what will come out of me, and see what happens.
