Coffee is super delicious...

AND I HAVE A PLOT!

It's quite good if I do say so myself. And with this new plot comes the rewriting of Chapter 1 and (hopefully) the rest of the novel. I still have a few kinks to work out with the plot, but its all minor stuff that I don't have to worry about just yet. The important things are mostly figured out.

I'm working with one of my friends to create sketches, drawings, and maps of this world. I'll post them on here when we start making them. I'm waiting until I get a bit further into writing it and until midterms are over.

Don't expect too many productive posts over then next two months. My cousin is getting married next month, and I'm her maid of honor. Lots of work to do there. I am also in my final semester at this college, and in order to graduate, I need to pass all my classes. Which have quite a bit of work in them. So, don't expect much until the end of May.

I saw In Time on Wednesday with my friend and editor Sora. It was a decent movie. It was a fairly fast driven plot, with quite a lot of action. There were a few problems that I had with it overall. Mostly the emotions that the characters could give you. One example was Justin Timberlake's character Will Salis, was not good at expressing emotions. When his mom timed-out, and he was crying over her body, I started laughing. Really really hard. Even his face didn't look sad. That was some really bad acting. The time cops (they weren't called that, but it's all that comes to mind) were another source of frustration. It was like they wanted them to be like the agents in The Matrix, but they were no where close to that level. They were just like mall cops, all the bluster, none of the skills. It was irritating. Especially when Cillian Murphy was the leader. He can do so much better. One of his lesser performances.

It was almost obnoxious how easily they got away with everything. They did the same thing over and over and over, stealing time from "banks", and yet no one stopped them. It would have been pretty easy to place a few extra guards at the locations, they had cameras, so it wouldn't be difficult.

The overall idea of the film was really cool, but I would only watch it if you want something that you don't have to think about much. Some high speed chase scenes, or just chase scenes in general really (the car chases were not that impressive) make it fun to watch.

Next up: Martin Scorsese's Hugo
