I’m home from work with a sick daughter and wife, and so while everyone is blessedly sleeping, I decided to throw up (sorry) a few things onto my blog that I’ve found of interest the past couple of days.
First, my Nanowrimo word count is just over 4,000 right now. Not as high as I’d like it, but not as low as it could be considering the sickness and family responsibilities I’ve been dealing with these past couple of days.
Second, Mat Kearney’s very cool new music video for his upcoming album, Just Kids, just went up. The video was taken with a drone in one shot, and features some really nice dancing and video work. I’ve been a big Kearney fan since 2007, when listened nonstop to his breakout album, Nothing Left to Lose, on my way too and from screenwriting classes in Hollywood. I have a feeling that Just Kids will be immediately going to my writing playlist, as soon as it’s released.
Unfortunately, I can’t link directly to the video as it’s still not wide released, but if you click on the screenshot, it’ll take you to the video.
Finally, living in China never stops being interesting.
For example, when I went to our local Walmart yesterday to get something to feed the sick women in my house, I found that – even though it’s November 3 – and even though China doesn’t celebrate the holiday – Christmas decorations were already up.
November 3, in China, and Christmas decorations are already up. In China.
Isn’t the world fascinating?

Anyway, got to get back to Nanowrimo while things are still quiet. Why aren’t you writing?
Cheers!
