Ok I'm back...I hope

Well I think I've caught up with work enough to get back on the story. I saw a show the other day called "Savivorman". It's on the discovery channel and it got me thinking that it could be an interesting way to tell at least part of the story (Redgrave's part). In fact from a visual point of view one could show one character in black and white while the other character pov is in color.

Visual story telling does not need rich color graphics




An example of simple but effective use of visuals. The celebrated "Sin City" graphic novels by Frank Miller. Kinda Film Noir meets Roaring 20's. Pictured here are "The Duke", main character.

Blog invite

Hey guys. Sorry been out of the loop. Chris do you remember Joel Ashman? Brian I'm sure you do. He and Drew Thompson kicked out asses in AOE one time. He and his wife Bridgette, moved back to Pennslyvania couple years back. Anyway they were down here for a party at Dave Shives house (childhood friend of Joel). I went to the party and while catching with Joel, I found out that he has many ideas for fiction. Some of them are really good.

I was wondering if you guys support the idea of inviting Joel to the Blog. Not necessarily as a collaborator for NS but, at least another set of eyes.

Brian, we have had a successful collaboration on "Was Ruth". I was thinking you might want to do the same with Joel. He is very creative and his ideas for stories are compelling. Plus I have some of his short fiction before and its not bad. Brian is it cool to forward Joel a copy of "Was Ruth"? If so, send your file since I'm its the actual final manuscript.

Something wierd happened

It seems that the server deleted the template, but not the post archive. When I tried to view the blog it only showed a white page. So I picked a new template and voila!

Theme

Are we going to carry on the theme discussion or have we nailed it down enough to go on?
