Upcoming movie: "Warrior's Way"

Posted on by

I just caught wind of a movie that’s supposed to coming out August 2009 called “Warrior’s Way” starring Kate Bosworth, Geoffrey Rush and Dong-Kun Jang. It’s an “East meets West” flick with martial arts sword fighting in the Wild West.

I had to hunt down the trailer on YouTube:

Okay, it looks a little choppy here. The effects were rough and the romance…hmmm…probably not.

I always become hopeful when a big action movie like this hits American theater. Kate Bosworth and Geoffrey Rush are big names. And it’s by the same producer as Lord of the Rings. Maybe it’ll take off and people will think there’s a market for my stories. I was very hopeful when “Forbidden Kingdom” came out with Jet Li and Jackie Chan. *sigh*

I won’t rave until I know more about it, but man do I wish I had been querying Butterfly Swords the year that “Crouching Tiger” hit the screens. 🙂

Reward Yourself

sexy_shoesIn celebration of finishing my draft and sending it out to be worked over by Little Sis, I went out yesterday for a massage and bought a pair of slinky little shoes to wear at conference.

Yes, I do dream about one day doing this for a living. When the time comes, I’ll have to put the pedal to the metal and just get it done because I want to eat. But in the meantime, there’s a lot of things that can make you feel down during the journey to publication so why not create some reasons to feel up?

Tonight it’s back to work now that all the knots are worked out of my neck and shoulders. How do you reward yourself?
