As of late last night, my 2013 NaNoWriMo story is waiting for approval from the Amazon/CreateSpace review so I can print it and add book #6 to my collection!
After some soul searching (combined with procrastination, laziness, and frustration with the story), I decided enough was enough, and that leaving the story where it is now is just fine. It's something I could probably pick up for the next NaNoWriMo. Or the one in 2016 (since this was the sequel to my 2010 story). At this point, I would like to go back and read through book 1 and 2, and make some notes on what should happen next, combined with what I already know is supposed to happen. I say "supposed to" because you know how characters can change your mind.
Many thanks to my writing buddy for helping shape what's already there. :-)
This blog is for my reading, writing, and filmmaking stuff, including National Novel Writing Month and 48 Hour Film Project.

Freak on a Leash
One thing that I have always enjoyed doing - ever since I was a kid - is changing the lyrics of songs, making parodies that make the song about something completely different. Here's an example. I wrote this one some time around 2004.
To the tune of Freak on a Leash by Korn:
Sometimes I’m called Padme
Sometimes Amidala is me.
Every time you think you see me
Handmaiden steps out and it’s me, it’s me.
Trade federation’s messin’ with me (you wanna start a fight)
Blockin’ our trade so we can’t be free (so do I)
Send a Jedi to negotiate (you wanna big fight)
I tried to but it was all in vain, in vain
(chorus)
Sometimes there’s paint upon my face
With little dots in different place
I take my wardrobe every place
In case I need a change of pace
Some would call me Padme
As I tour the galaxy
Blackbird spaceship takin’ me
Some would call me Padme.
Couple of Jedi try to save me (just like "A New Hope")
Shoot the wall to help us get free (familiar)
How many times have I seen that scene? (since ’77)
Originality would be neat
CHORUS
(cut to a light saber fight with the two Jedi and Darth Maul)
11x Boom hum whiz whoom huh na wheeda da
(Obi-wan)
NO!
/Oi! You kill Qui Gon
4x< Jinn now,
\Hey! Now you must die!
Some would call me Padme
As I tour the galaxy
Blackbird spaceship takin’ me
Some would call me Padme.
Padme....
