(no subject)

 I need to watch First Class and Days of Future Past before I start Hank's road trip. I realized I need a better handle on his voice as I keep hearing Kelsey Grammer's Beast and not Nicolas Holt's. I do still have the awkward Hank/Beast from early if FC in my head, but I need to see/hear beyond that. Hopefully rewatching the films will help. = ]

Finished Sparrow Hill Road and I loved it. It did take me a bit to get used to the near short story collection format of the book, but I ended up loving it.

I also really need to start writing the story it inspired in my head as I listened. Need to research more hero mentors beyond Chiron and Scathach though...for reasons.

Synchronicity and signs

When I’m working on the outline and characters for a story exploring mentors and questing heroes from different cultures within the USA, and this week’s Writing Excuses is about colonialism. Which makes me realize I need to decide on my characters and what cultural roots they will have rather than gather mythological mentors to chose from like they were pokemon.

I also realized my definition of a mentor is somewhat different then others, if the answers I got from Facebook are any indication. I had asked for any that my friends might know of, giving Chiron and Scathach as examples, and I got Prometheus and Daedalus as answers. I can see I should've qualified that I was looking for examples not Greek or Irish, since I already had two mentors, but Daedalus never taught a hero (i.e. someone who went out and fought for glory or some noble cause) and Prometheus had like one conversation with Heracles.

Obviously I need to think of how I word questions in the future.

Additionally, I really love Missing Persons’s Destination Unknown. Would that be Missing Persons’ or Missing Persons’s. Missing Persons is a band, which is kind of singular right?
