#NaBloPoMO: Starting off some where, some how.

12 Comments

Later today I am sampling Shakespeare for last time time this season. I have had the privilege of seeing quite a few productions at the RSC over the last eighteen months. Some of the were lovely, one of them less so. Tonight I will be watching ‘Much ado about nothing’ and with no Joss Whedon in sight. Hopefully I will post the verdict later If I am fully cogent.

I am watching it at the RSC, arguably the cradle of all things contemporary Shakespeare. Sat on the river Avon, it has a certain something about it. As long as you are polite to the geese, of course.

Makes sense to me, to start the month of NaBloPoMO here. The birthplace of a Great British wordsmith does the job by way of inspiration. I have my black biro and moleskine notebook ready to craft. As nice as it is being sat typing. Having a notebook and pen is something unique. You can see the words exit on the page and watch a whole world being created. Sadly my writing does resemble a spider having crawled through ink; so typeface is fine as an end product. I have quite a few ideas to draft out. You’d be surprised as to what crosses your mind when you think about it.

NaBloPoMo: Why not…I do like writing….

I have heard about the one where you attempt to write a novel over a month. Only recently, have I heard about NaBloPoMo, Not sure that I could write a novel over a month, and I already write fan fiction (I am part of Star Trek Fan Fiction RPG, you can find it at sectorg,org) Have been involved with that for nearly ten years, but have been writing that sort of fan fiction for 12 years, So you never know, I might send out a few horticultural themed star trek posts, trust me, the horticultural theme is present in star trek. I was convinced that I saw Kes and Neelix grow tomato plants in Voyager, and in DS9, there is a whole day of planting that one colony does before it is unceremoniously wiped out of existence. Even TNG does not escape, there is a botanist and an arboretum on board.

There has to be more gardening and GYO in star trek,,,,,somewhere!

Oh, I remembered something. I did mean to start a blog novella…it’s called dandelions and gerberas, so it is waiting to be written. The blog category is there, it’s just a bit empty that’s all. I think I was waiting for a burst or a boom to act as a muse. I guess that will turn up at some point then. Just watch this space.

So this NaBloPoMo business. A post a day for the month of November. That seems plausible, an outlet for things that I find interesting and want to share. I’m sure I will think of something.
