Seven : Update #9

So, another week, another chapter.

Added

- Chapter 1.09: David completes his mission and gets his nickname.

With this, Day 4 comes to an end. Only 3 more to go until the end of the beginning for David. What do those days have in store? And what is all of this preparing him for? Keep reading to find out!

Enjoy!

NYC: Update #10

Okay, so lately I've been a lazy slug and not working on Seven Days as much as I should. Sometimes I am just not motivated to write and it's hard to force creativity. So, I thought I would share something else!

Remember when I pondered about NYC updates? Well I actually did some! So, instead of loosing another week to my procrastination, I thought I would at least put something out and post my NYC updates (officially marking the beginning of my Draft #2 updates).

Updated

- Added a paragraph which provides more info on the OWO. [Ch. 1] (This will be explored further in other areas.)

- Wolf catches Hank and gets a lead on Jill's whereabouts; then follows up on it. [Ch. 5 & 6]

- Wolf spots and kills Hank in the assault on The Father's place. (Apparently, Wolf said he was going to do this but it never happened for some reason.) [Ch. 13]

Enjoy!

NYC in Black & White

First of all... Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Now, today's post isn't really related to St. Patrick's Day but I thought this was cool and wanted to share it with all of you.

Historical photos of NYC in B&W. The page takes a while to load so give it some time.

It's pretty cool to see these old photos and compare them to new images and the Google Maps view of the city and see how much has changed over the years.

Seven: Update #8

Okay, finally another update! Sorry for the breaks the past few weeks. Hopefully, I can back into the swing of things and back to my regular scheduale. Now on to what's new this week.

Added

Chapter 1.08: David takes another type of specail test as we get to out literary hump day.

Enjoy!

Seven: Update #7

Wow! Finally an update this week. This update one has been on the list for a few weeks but I finally got around to it. And the new chapter turned out to be another hard one to break into. (That's why there wasn't an update last week, so sorry for that.) I think based on what the chapter is really about is something that I never went through back in high school. Also, its just not where my head has been lately, so it was hard to get into the mood to write. Anyway, here's the details:

Updated

Chapter 1.04: David remembers something else he needs to do before heading out to school: email his friend Kurt. Also, added a better segue leading into David's surgery after the accident.

Added

Chapter 1.07: David takes his girlfriend, Kim, to the school dance... something he's more anxious about than going hunting with his grandfather.

Enjoy!

Movie Posters Redone

Being an artist and a movie guy, I really dig this:

Movie Posters Remade by Olly Moss. If you like these, you can check out more of his art on his site here. It's all pretty cool stuff.

Video Corner 02

Video Corner is a segment I use to share some cool and/or funny videos I've discovered on the grand and vast internets.

Both vidoes are mash ups of two properties I wouldn't have thought could have been, let alone shared enough 'what-ever' to accomplish it. But these are done very well and I really enjoy them both.

1. Toy Story 2: The Dark Knight

This has the audio of The Dark Knight trailer played over clips from Toy Story 2. Coolness and a little hilarity ensue.

2. Bert & Ernie Gangsta Rap

This one is really cool. Clips of various Bert & Ernie episodes are played to M.O.P.'s song Ante Up. This video was kind of my introduction to hardcore hip hop and I really liked it, so I bought the album this song is on. (One more step in my explorations of various musical genres!) I think it was the similarities in hardcore hip hop I noticed from hard rock and metal (that I usually listen to) that helped this.

Seven: Update #6

Added

Chapter 1.06: Day 3 begins with a lesson for David from his grandfather.

Also

So, I started my NYC Draft #2 updates. And as I figured, it did prove to be a bit of a distraction from my work on Seven Days. The distraction was both good and bad; while it was nice to ponder over a different section of Wolf's life, it was bad because I ended up procrastinating on chapter 1.06 until the last few days and really had to push to finish it (lately, I was keeping a week ahead). I'll probably continue the Draft #2 updates so I'll have something after finishing Seven Days (draft #1) but I'll have to try to not let it be a distraction from the current story.

Enjoy!
