Frank: All Good Things Must...

I like how Bill called me a wise man in his post. I also liked how he copied and pasted Anne's original post for his own. Greg, where's the post? These are our precious final posts, so don't bail on us quite yet. If I have to bail you out, I will.

So I resumed watching Brotherhood 2.0 recently, and it's good. Though, all the videos of John Greene sitting around writing make me feel like I should be a writer. I would love to sit in my house all day and just write. That would be awesome. I guess I'm learning there are two distinct processes in the creation of a novel. The initial part, the writing, is something I'm good at. The other key part, revision, I am terrible at. However, I'm thinking that revision will be fun in its own way, taking a meandering story and reshaping it into a cohesive entity. As I enter into another revision of my manuscript, I have a few major changes to simplify and unify the story. It's tough, to make changes to a story that I really enjoy and think is perfectly fine the way it is, but that's how the process works. So I'm looking forward to doing more writing and revising in the near future.

I'm taking the MTELs on Saturday, as much as I want to be a writer, teaching looks to be my immediate future.

Anne: Homestretch

So kids, this is it. We're in the last month of the blog! Then you can all run away or whatever.

Sorry, I've been restless and down today. I'm sure things will turn out fine. I just wish I could work more hours. I'm still not used to have spare time to fill up. I know there are things I need to do, I just need to overcome the idea that I need to rest on my days off.

I'm not sure what else to blog about. Watchmen comes out soon, so I'll have to find someone to see it with. Apparently they changed the ending and that upsets me.

Star Trek movie! I can't wait for it! Simon Pegg (star of Sean of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) is going to be Scotty! And Sylar from Heroes is going to be Spock! I've very excited about this.

Take care all!

Bill: This isn't Nam there are rules!

Hello my blog friends and relatives. A wise man brought it to my attention today that there are rules that govern this blog that we have not adhered to as we should. This is not Nam my friends this is a relative insanity! With only 3 posts before this happy expermint comes to an end I feel that we should look back on hte time we have spent as a family and also post wisly while adhearing to the rules. That is why I propose the challenge for the next 3 posts that we follow the rules as we should.

Rule 1- Your post must be at least 5 sentences long, not including your signature.
Rule 2- Tag or sign your posts, so it's painfully obvious who wrote it.
Rule 3- You must post on your day. We'll go by calendar days, so you have 12am-11:59pm.

But there's an exception to every rule, so here's the exception to Rule 3. We can post for each other, as long as the original poster wrote the entry beforehand and has a legitimate reason for not making the deadline.

Shedule: Order by birth! The way you came out!


Thank you and goodnight
