need titles for: this post, the novel
Nov. 29th, 2009 08:12 pmWord-count-y update: 30 pages, 7430 words.
This novel is just plain fun to write. It has so many things I think are independently cool, and then they all interact and create, like, a stew of awesome things.
Hopefully it'll keep working this well once I get back into the weekly schedule of classes and homework.

Recently Audible had a free audiobook promotion, so I downloaded METAtropolis, which if you are reading this you have probably heard of. (If not: SF audiobook anthology.) I have not been much of one for audiobooks, but when it came out I kept thinking wistfully about it, it was free, and I had two plane flights looming in my future, so there you go. I like looking out the windows of planes, but it can get a little repetitive after the first hour and a half of cloud-landscapes.
I only got through two and a half stories between my two flights; I'm not sure if I'm going to finish listening to the whole thing, since my routines don't tend to have much space that works well with audiobooks, but it was a fun exercise. Well, I might finish the one I got halfway through.
So since there might not be an "after I finish this" time to post about it, I should say now that while I may or may not finish listening, as audiobooks are not my favorite medium, it was definitely interesting and an enjoyable way to spend the time.
