Blog for School

I have been given an assignment from a business class to create a blog and post insights from the readings and class. If you have any interest in reading such posts feel free and good luck staying awake. www.cap499.blogspot.com

Popcorn

In reality, Dune is a pretty funky-weird movie. Last time I saw it, I was a little kid and didn't really remeber much except the little girl making the fat flying man go fly out of control...anyway...

So is popcorn a vegetable or a grain?

Good News!

The movie "Dune" is now on Netflix instant play! And it is currently being watched...

You Shoulda Heard...

Laura's grandmother, Barbara:



"Shut up, Charles."

I Looked Down

...and then I thought, "Maybe I should not have have placed my knife so close..."

Just Writing

Just writing a post. Speaking of which, I have had the idea to write a book for a while. Something fantasy based, primarily. And I mean swords and shields, dragons and dungeons, and spells and bardic stories. I enjoy reading other such books--the Eragon series was the last. Good stories about heroes and villains is something most can enjoy as it keeps you pulled in.

I've come up with a beginning and Laura seems to think it is good, but the problem with writing a fantasy book is there are so many of them out there. How can I create a book that stands out? Eragon, Harry Potter, the vampire books written by the Mormon author, Lord of the Rings, The Princess Bride, and The Count of Monte Cristo (of course there are others as well...) are "good" books that seem to stand out among others.

Why?
