Ascent to Bable and Other books

I finished "Ascent to babel", a book I mentioned before on linguistics. It was a very interstitials read and had a lot of things I never knew. It covers things like how our brains understand languagees and what order (grammer, words) and even perdictsthe next word! It wasn't as helpful in developing my conworld language, but a good read none the less.

Now I'm picking up the 2nd book in the Wheel of Time series "The great hunt" which i really recommend. I'm disapointed in myself that I waited this long. I'd like ot find the WoT RPG book, but it's expensive. $50 is more money than I have right now for anything. I plan on at least getting it from the library so I can check it out. I can imagine a whole bunch of cool things from the books (Like the cool "wolf-brother" thing introduced in book one) that would be really cool in an RPG. I might even be able to incorpeate it in to a regulad D20 game since WoT RPG is also in the D20 system.
I've even slipped some wheel of time-ish sayings already in the current campaign i'm in.

Wanted: Dream Job

A job just opened up at Bioware for a writer for their MMos. This would be a dream job for me, writing characters and worlds. It's definitly one of favorite parts of working on a large fantasy project I've been working on (Sorry, can't say more because it's not all mine, and I might be able to actually finish it one day). I'd like to work for that as my ultimate goal. I hadn't really thought of being a writer in the games industry (I've daydreamed of being a designer, programer of artist in the games industry before).

Since we'er talking about dream jobs, what would be your dream job?

Money for eyes!

Great news just came in, I'm approved for support from the government to get the eye surgery I need to fix my eye condition. I can't remember what it's called, but it is an elongating of my cornea making it hard to see at a distance. The surgery will cost about $20,000 an eye, something me and my family can't afford right now, but it looks like I will be able to get the surgery some time soon!

NaNo Energy Low

I'm still working on my NaNoWtiMo novel, but I'm falling behind. Only just over 2,700 words when I should ahve by now written 6,667. I'm not giving up, though I wonder if I can evne catch up especially now since the first jet of energy has worn off and I have writer's block.

I'm also working on memorizing lines for an upcoming christmas comedy drama. It's a story about a family reunion that has some interesting characters and challanges. I'm hoping I can keep on track and memorize the lines I need to. Preformances are in only four weeks in early december!
