Just had an evil thought...

At the HellHouse 'Can't Stop The Serenity' charity screening I can serve folks Pit Bull and tell them that it is Mudder's Milk. Although I think Pit Bull tastes worse than Mudder's Milk is suposed to.

It's [livejournal.com profile] hellbob, plastic wrapped for freshness!



We were helping paint a friend's house and [livejournal.com profile] hellbob had to hold plastic over the garage door while the paint was being sprayed around it.

Fanfic as a training ground...

I just listened to an episode of The Dragon Page's Cover to Cover, with Michael & Evo ( http://www.dragonpage.com/archives/cover_to_cover_219.html )[remember kids, no fancy-schmancy links when I post from work...]
and they were interviewing author Naomi Novik who just had the 3rd book of her trilogy released.
One fun thing I learned in the interview is that for years before writing a novel she wrote fanfic (and admitted it!) When Michael asked which fandom she was non-commital saying that she had written for about 20 different fandoms over time.
I loved this!
There are some really awesome writers out there doing fanfic and it's nice to see that their talent can be recognised by getting printed in the "real world." I know there are several people on my friends list who write way better than some of the so called professional writers I have read.
