Nearing the other side of 60 days

Be it resolved, blah blah blah. Remember when I told you that a lot can happen in 60 days? That you could lose 10 to 20 pounds in 60 days if you wanted, by a very conservative estimate? And that I could finish the first draft of my book in just two months?

Well. Some people say resolutions were meant to be broken. Me, I'm not willing to go that far, not just yet. True, we're nearing the end of the sixty days, and I did break my resolution, but I had a really good excuse - I was too busy directing 3 animated ads. For a guy with animated directorial ambitions, this was too good to pass up.

And the ads had quite a bearing on Moon Town, which has taken another huge chunk away from my writing time. For more information on that, see moon-town.com, where the fourth of my weekly podcasts is currently live.

So, yeah. A lot can happen in 60 days, and it did. Maybe I didn't finish my book, but I got a lot else done, and I'm pretty happy with that. And just when you're convinced I'll never return to working on this book, I'll have you know I'm back in the saddle again - over 1600 words today. Not too shabby...

Had some issues opening up the pod cast... not sure if it's just this pc or what (I'm at work.)

I am finally listening though :D

Are you still having problems, Leh, or did you get it fixed?

I tried it here at home. I guess the work compie wasn't liking the link. It works ok from home and I know this compie is updated on all the codecs and plugins.

I still need to finish the podcast. At work I had to copy the url and paste it into Winamp but then I got busy. ;P

So far I liked what I heard. :D

Worked fine from here, I liked the podcast aswell. Nice that you brought up characterbased design as something I find essential, but also seems to be something that is easily forgotten and overlooked.

Hey,
nice to see you're getting stuff done, you seem very busy these days.
I see you've been writing regularly on your novel the past few days too, so might seem that in about 50 days from now we could expect you to get that done, but guess it depends on circumstances.

Looking forward to more news.

Hey, Sardtok -

Turns out everything depends on circumstances, but there we are. Hey, if any of you think of it, would you mind doing a little comment at the iTUNES page so people will think Moon Town is as cool as you think it is? :)
