Welcome to the second week.

I have to admit to being bored by the content here thus far.  I am not surprised by it, just bored.  The initial challenge for me will be to come up with a suitable way to be inspired to produce less boring content.  Left to my own devices I would likely do no more than rant and rave about the life of a father of three daughters.  While this might be great for some and might eventually be good for me I don’t think that it would be a great place to start.

The internet is rife with writing motivators and prompts.  I find these trite.  Probably because I haven’t employed them to write more–at all.

I’m going to find three:

• http://www.writingfix.com/dailypromptgenerator.htm – Serves random phrases that appear to have been submitted by users.
• http://www.writersdigest.com/writingprompts.asp – Designed situational prompts.
• http://www.canteach.ca/elementary/prompts.html – Static list of questions

Interestingly this brief search landed me in portions of the internet I’ve not been to in a long time or ever.

Kingfisher, Oklahoma is not such a great place to be today.

For some reason I wanted to revisit the Ailchas chapter involving the fight.  Make it more gritty.  Less elegant.  I am expecting to find it a wee be choreographed.  While Ailchas is a trained Swordsinger, he’s also a practical man.  Going for the knockdown, knockout, or kill as soon as possible.  Let’s see what we can do to get it that way.

It was bound to happen and it didn’t.  Excellent.

Now if I can avoid the same hump tomorrow and the next weekend I should be good.

Tessa and I attended a zoo class this morning: “F is for Ferret”  It turns out that due to the lack of a stuffed toy ferret and an actual zoo population of ferrets F is also for Otter and Merecat.  I am guessing that the just didn’t have a stuffed toy ferret and that maybe it’s verboten to keep pet store style animals in the zoo.  Law?  Bad taste?

Afterward we swung around to the Best Buy where I best bought a UPS and didn’t buy a set of wireless headphones.  We did stop off at the Barnes and Noble for a trip through the kids book store–two prisoners were released into our custody.

I could use a little book light for this comp.  Something mounted to the LCD screen to shine onto the keys?

Got PSA work to do.
