Writing Planes and John

This is my first blog post.

Up there it implies I’m a plane watcher. On some ways I am and on other I want to be.

I want to be a plane watcher as a mechanical engineer. I want to work with planes, aerospace and mostly cars. Oh, and robots!

Today, I’m a different kind of plane watcher. The planes I watch are thoughts flying through my mind.

I’m a writer. Currently, I’m working on the third draft of my novel Five-Fingered Wave. You can see the sucky first draft on www.inkpop.com and search for me, watching07planes.


Do the Kirby!

Today’s plane: Dear John, the movie.

I have not read the book by Nicholas Sparks but I loved the movie and from what I heard the book is even better.

Another great movie inspired by a Nicholas Spark book is The Notebook. It is the same quality and atmosphere. However, I would not put them in the same category. The Notebook is just a love story—in my opinion—whereas Dear John is more about the father-son relationship.

The cast was amazing. Every single actor did brilliantly. Heck, I think even the horse should get an award! Every time Channing Tatum came on the big screen all I could think was “brick wall”, the good kind. I thought that if I ever found myself in front of that man I would love to run at full speed toward his big, tanned body and feel the impact against my skin. He’s an imperfect perfection—physically anyway.

*sighs* I want a tanned brick wall.
