My New Friend

Well, I finally got my computer! I'm loving it already! It's a Toshiba Netbook actually and it's turquoise, my favorite color :) I think my mom is pretty excited too because now we won't have to sneak around for time on the only laptop in the apartment!


So with this new and great achievement, (I say it's an achievement because it's the most expensive thing I've ever bought), I declare a new era of writing for me. This cute little guy is portable and lightweight and has a fast processor. Let's hope he's got lots of memory space because I'm going to be writing a lot.

(We're the best of friends :) )

Now with that being said, I should actually get some work done.


Happy writing!

Star Trek: A New Expirence

As I explained in a previous post, I am a crazy Star Wars fan. The movie and books have inspired me to write many Sci-Fi based stories (of course I only finished one of them so far) and it has definitely had an effect my entire life.
My parents, being good Star Wars fans as well decided it was time to show me another of their personal favorites. Star Trek.
So on Saturday evening, me and my family took up our seats on the couch and started at the very beginning movie of the TV series. The first scene (that I remember anyway) is the starship The Enterprise flying in the backdrop of stars. Now, for having that scene appear on a 1960's TV that must have been the coolest scene ever! But. This is 2011. I was born in the digital age, the era of computers that brings forth movies that are completely computer animated!
So, I have to admit that the technology was... disappointing. But to tell you the truth, I really did enjoy it! The story line was really good and it might have given rise to brand new ideas for me which is always exciting. (I still liked the newer Star Trek better).


Do you have new and possibly inspiring experiences that you would like to share? And if not completely new then what was something that really inspired you recently?

P.S.
Speaking of new experiences, I just made myself a Twitter account which I am finding quite confusing since I'm used to Facebook. I'm also having fun over at the WriteOnCon site getting wonderful feedback on my novel!
