Wednesday, 28 December 2005 05:59 pmChristmas = good. Not ate too much for once. Good gifts, like, yay! And I have me a little challenge - I got one of those mini six-colour paintboxes (and I mean MINI, barely one and a half inches long) out of a cracker, and I want to see if it's physically possible to create something vaguely good with it. :)
(Well, almost all was good, but then I wasn't expecting much from my work "Secret Santa", even though I stressed about getting something nice and appreciate-able for MY SS-person. Oh well. I suppose it's like art SS-s, some people labour over their art for days, but others just slap something together in 30 minutes.)
Writing: Busy with a rewrite of #1, RtA, trying to get the beginning to make more sense and tie in with the ending (and have a PLOT, goddamnit), and reworking a lot of dialogue, especially from Iver's point of view - after all, a lot was written well over two years ago and it makes me CRINGE, and the technology isn't up to spec either (at the start, science came secondary to plot, but I want both vaguely equal now, and I need to rethink Ivy's specs.) And, of course, I want to FINISH the damn thing, then I can look harder at my timeline and work out some of the kinks, get rid of some of the angst-ridden fluff that I seemed to be putting everywhere, tighten it all up. Although I have this urge to do another collaboratory story with someone, as a lot of the time ideas and new scenarioes to practice, come from them that I wouldn't have had before, so that's going to niggle at me for, liek, forever, man. *would highlight that in flashing text, but that's just a little... well, grrmaking*
Art: I have a couple of semi-realistic pencil portraits of some of my characters that I'm well chuffed with (especially Azure's picture, the main canon Kiravai Synth) and need to upload at some point, then try colour them. (PS Danji, I'm still waiting on a description, here... *twiddles thumbs...* ;) ) I'm also busy with something more silly - I mean, the number of people I've seen go "I like Egypt, computers, rabbits, turkeys, glowsticks and noodles, thus I must be, liek, OMG some reincarnated spirit of an Ancient Egyptian cyborg were-turkey-rabbit priestess of the glowing noodles! It is my TROO FORM!" so I wondered what'd happen if I cobbled all my likes together into a "spirit form". ;) (No offence to those who aren't just on a bandwagon, but c'mon, some are so stupid they can't be anything other than piss-takes)
So, yay! More later, feeps.
