Not Taking part in the Five-O Bang

It's funny. I was one of the first people to get excited about five0bang when it was announced, now with the deadline ending tonight, I don't think I'm going to sign-up.


I really want to, but the minimum word count is keeping me from proceeding. I've written dozens of stories 40k words long, but the plot I have in mind is more a 20-30k type thing and I don't want to risk signing up and being forced to tack on words I don't need to. My predictions about the length a story are pretty accurate. And this is the story I want to write right now.

I'll mainly miss the excitement of a collective group effort working toward the same goal. I admit, I love the idea of collaborating with an artist. There's just something extra special about seeing how words inspire an artist's creativity.

On a positive note, I won't have to wait until January to post it when it's done. :D

Okay, done whining :-P

Trent's Sound Lab

I know most of my F-list are not Nine Inch Nails' fans, but this is a really fascinating interview the New York Times did earlier this year regarding "The Social Network" score. Check it out if you're curious how he approached scoring the film, to see Trent's private studio filled with vintage equipment, or you just want to see who the heck this Trent guy is that I keep talking about.
