You can't judge a book by it's cover!



Andrew DeLeon

I was watching this show just to see Howard Stern, and this kid blew my mind!  I love this kid, and he's one of the people that make the world an interesting place.

Cowboys and Aliens

I watched Cowboys and Aliens this weekend, and I thought it was pretty creative.  I mean, there are supposedly drawings in ancient Roman and Egyptian temples depicting UFO's and aliens.  Strong believers say that earth has had extra-terrestrial visitors for as long as the earth has been in existence.  Hmm....  Maybe.  I really don't know, but one thing IS for sure - it feeds my imagination!

What would the ancient Egyptians do if a big silver spaceship flew in for a visit?  It's not like they could do anything about it.  The poor cowboys didn't have much defense either.  The creative options for this story were endless.  This would have been a really fun story to write.

Happy New Year!

I am big on goal setting (in recent years anyway),  and I believe that without direction, we really can't go anywhere.  I mean, I wouldn't go out driving without knowing where I was headed to, so I try to lead my life that same way.  I just think that most things flow better with a plan.  Not always though, I love how life sometimes takes you down a side road and takes you to a place you never knew existed.  But I'm not talking about that, I'm referring to the big things.

But I also think you should be flexible enough to roll with life and constantly evolve and update your goals as you change and grow in life.  When you're rigid, you miss a lot, and you never know who or what will lead you down that next adventurous path in life.

For one of my 2012 goals, I plan on writing 365,000 words.  Not all at once, and not on any particular schedule, but just an average of 1,000 words a day.  I value my freedom as a writer, but I also work well on deadlines.  Honestly, it's other people's deadlines that motivate me more so than my own, but setting a specific goal for myself is a powerful thing.

Welcome 2012!
