Writing to say I'm writing again

This puts me in mind of the time a freind stopped by to tell me he couldn't stop by. Or the letter I got from the IRS that said they couldn't deliver my tax return to the address because mail couldn't be delivered to that location (despite any facts to the contrary).

But I am writing to say that in november I will be writing again. And this time the charity is the offices of letters and lights, the founders of the Nanowrimo.org and the young writers program. = http://www.firstgiving.com/rovingjack1 .

Speaking of links, I tidied up my minisite web page with all the spiffy new HTML I'm learning. To think in one hour I learned enough to fix all those little things that made the page presentation so poor before. I'll be tinkering with that and a neopets page to get the practicals in on my learning of HTML. But in the near future I plan to apply it to a new site for the steampunk group that hopefully will get bigger and more interactive as time goes by. Right now we are just a single topic on a webboard.

I will be creating a map, and using it as a central location from which you can travel the setting and connect with other people into the same aspects of the genre. From roleplaying, to story writing to costuming and acting, and if I get my say, a a few real steamjacks (tinkering with steam powered projects in the real world).

In other news I read the translation of the satire 'The cyclops'. It was less interesting then I'd hoped and failed to enlighten me much into the mythos of the Satyrs, though I did pick up a bit of interesting material on the Cyclops'.

Tonight I think I will explore treasure island, and that may take me a night or two, with my mornings for HTML and my days being for work. Once that is done I will persue redwall a bit further but I think I've got my answer as far as that one goes. My Nano story that I considered somewhat like redwall is completely differant.

Then after midway through the week I should be getting the chance to play with the pinhole camera building again.

It amazes me to think that of my master list of 24 Big Fun Scary projects for this year I've seven remaining and am looking to knock that down by a few by the end of the month.

I did finally finish up the panelist form for connecticon, though that wasn't on the master list. and I'm making headway toward some other important things.

There is a lot to talk about as I get ready for Nano, and I am going to be much more talkative on here over the next month or two. But big things are happening.

I'll be back tomorrow.
Take Care of yourselves,
Roving Jack

Dude! Busy!
1) The Anime/Manga/Live-action movie duet I am obsessed with is DeathNote. The reason why I was vague in the LiveJournal entry is beacause some of my readers get worried about me unnecessarily. This gets annoying, thus the vagueness.
2) Commenting on your blog is no prob: you gave me the address yourself!**Hint: We met at a Con...**
