It looks like Amazon is taking pre-orders for the My Neighbor Totoro DVD. According to Amazon, this DVD will be out on Dec. 3 and is produced by Studio: Twentieth Century Fox Home Video. It does not say whether it is dubbed or subtitled. There was one negative review, by someone who said that “this DVD is great for your children if they haven’t seen it yet, but don’t but it for your collection - wait and hope that Disney releases it” and sort of implies that lots of special features are missing. ...

I am obviously way behind my goal of 2000 words a day. I blame my job for this. This site launch was not supposed to totally eat like six whole days of my life, and two more sizeable chunks of evening time. I consider my job quite rewarding, even though it is not always fun, and l am usually satisfied, and proud of myself and my team. However, this week I feel like I have been sorely used. I am a hero at work, but there is a cost. ...

10,000 words as of this morning. Added a bit to the end of one and the beginning of the next. Writing: Home (1805 words) Writing: The next day (2323 words)

Story writing has stalled for a bit, due to work. (We met a huge deadline, it was brutal due to last-minute issues, and the wildfire seems to be 80% contained :) I feel a bit guilty for leaving Veldan hanging. The month is almost half over and I am only like 18% done. Oh well, I will try to make up for some lost time. Need to come up with some adversity for Veldan to face, or some adventure other than training. Need to figure out how he feels about things and what motivates him - such as the character worksheet items.

592 words today. And I erased some material I had accidentally duplicated yesterday, so it was a net gain of about 400. Lost some time to dicking around with queryint (1 hr) and gladiator (1 hr). I was really only paying attention here from 9:30 to 12:00 with a couple distractions. So I really need like 4-5 hours per day if I am going to do this. I wanted to do 2000 per day which would have been 10000 by now. I am officially 1 day behind so I have to make that up. ...

Ack, this is getting harder, not easier. I have been at this for like 4 hours and have only 1100 tonight. 1. I lost some time with work foo, I was working on work between 6:00 and 8:30. Can’t do that if I want to write and also sleep. 2. Spent some time talking to M about my characters and how I really don’t know them yet. It was interesting, as distractions go. ...
