It's Almost Here

It won't be long before I'm winging my way to beautiful Glen Eyrie near Colorado Springs, Colorado. Angie Hunt and Nancy Rue (sometimes referred to collectively as Nangie) put on a great writers conference. It's purposefully kept small to allow greater interaction between students and faculty. If you're a writer, want to be a writer, considered being a writer, or want to know what a writer is, then sign up. Classes take place in a castle. No kidding. A castle.

The conference includes sessions on fiction, freelance writing, screenwriting, and public speaking for writers.

2001 meets 2008

While visiting some of my favorite blog site I came across something interesting. My friend Robin Nettlehorst is a writer and, like me, a space junkie (not space junk, that’s something entirely different).

In today’s blog he noted that 2001 A Space Odyssey debut on this day (April 2) forty years ago at the Uptown Theater in Washington D.C. The general release came on April 6^th.

Since I discuss commercial space travel in my book ZERO-G and include a significant scene on the space shuttle Atlantis I thought these video’s especially interesting. In the first video we see how Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick saw space travel in 2001. In the second we see how it is really done in 2008.

Enjoy
