A little while back I asked for opinions of the villains in Don Bluth's Thumbelina. The reason was because I was putting together a twee little quiz which was fun to make.
I was going to join NaNoWriMo this year, but just last week changed my mind because a friend emailed me info on an upcoming short story writing competition that made me go !!!!!!!! because it's exactly what I needed right now. I've already started writing my entry, which is pretentious little story that is really fanfic thinly disguised as original fic, but I'm a little nervous that it won't work out, so I'm also working on a back-up idea of an original original story (although it's not completely original, because what is these days) that I may take a stab at if the first doesn't work out. I'm so excited about it that I can hardly think straight, and the deadline is March next year, so I reckon I have time to finish it, edit it and throw it around my mates for them to poke at.
Unrelated, I'm watching Casino Royale right now so to gear up for Quantum of Solace which is coming out next week... I'm so excited about this film, and I just realised why I couldn't get into the earlier Bond films, which is because I couldn't relate to any of the Bond girls, all of whom are hypersexualised and so beyond my sphere of understanding or admiration, but watching Daniel Craig has changed all of that because now I want to be James Bond himself, so I can be fierce and kick-ass and wear two-piece suits to smouldering hotness. That was a long sentence.
