…of course, this is not including actual blast off on New Year’s Eve.

I suppose I got this idea of the delay in blasting from NASA when we visited this November.  We didn’t get to see a rocket blast off, but we did get to see lots of footage, actual capsules, IMAX films, buildings from the 60′s, etc.  No one seems too interested in space anymore, i.e. the younger generation.  The kids were bored spitless.  Although, they did perk up a little around lunchtime when we went to the space cafe.

I’m procrastinating.

I’ve thought everything and nothing more on writing a book since I’ve just woken up.

Here is a thought I’ve had in the past about writing in general:  I need to be very careful of what I’m reading at the time I’m writing.  I don’t know if it’s a mimic issue or what, but I tend to pick up the narrator’s voice in context of what I’m reading at the moment.  Currently, I’m reading Under the Dome by Stephen King which I received for Christmas.  Since it has over 1000 pages and I nearly knock myself unconscious whenever I try to read it (the thing is HEAVY!), I may be reading it well into February.  I think that’s okay.  His voice and mine are copacetic.  As long as I don’t inadvertently insert science fiction elements into my story.  I don’t think a pacemaker exploding out of someone’s chest would fit (or would it??).

Other thoughts for today – sometimes it’s best to have no thoughts about the project and go and have fun.  That’s what I’m planning on today!
