Lovely... just lovely
Mar. 31st, 2009 07:43 amPixie is back from the computer doctors! Hooray! She went in because the speakers didn't appear to be working correctly. Simple, they said. I believed them. Be sure to make a copy of everything on your computer, they said. I didn't believe them. Should have believed them on EVERYTHING. I don't know the why of this but they set the computer back to original specs when they fixed her. This means I had to redownload everything and lost a few things from iTunes that I forgot I had (until I didn't have them and then I was like "Grrr... why did I forget to move that?") and now I'm trying to find a new wallpaper... AGAIN. The first one took me three days of constant searching through LJ to find just the perfect wallpaper. It was great! Of course, I can't find it anymore so I'm looking to find something else that says THIS IS ME, WORLD! but doesn't distract me.
Tomorrow is the first day of April. This means I have less than 24 hours to decide what to write for Script Frenzy. Have a pretty good idea but I'm unsure how to start the project. While I think this project will work really well as a Graphic Novel, I've enjoyed writing bits and pieces of it and it works as a story, too. And the more I delve into this project (and I've actually devoted HOURS to the backstory of this idea), the more I like it... which makes it hard to do it for Script Frenzy. That's crazy, you say. Just do it, already. The thing is, the more I get into it and realize how well it would work as a Graphic Novel, the more I want to see it as a Graphic Novel. I don't want this one to molder in my Google Docs. I want to see it in living color! Which means I want to do it right. The problem is that I'm finding all these sites that talk about how to write a Comic Book... but not a lot that talk about writing a Graphic Novel. Granted, there aren't many Graphic Novels out there that aren't technically Comic Books on steroids but I do have a couple of really good examples of what I want to do. Or I've seen them at B&N and flipped through them. *grins*
The key this coming month will be getting off Facebook! Gah... that site has literally stolen hours of my time this last month. Okay, it didn't steal them. I handed them over freely and felt good about it at the time. But I've got to save those hours for ME this month. I need them all.
Bought a new backpack with my Coke Points. Still have hoards of them. *pets them* There aren't many things I still want on the site but I can't stop inputting points. Even give some to trustworthy causes and I still have tons. The backpack is nifty because there's a place for Pixie and a place for the phone and still plenty of room for notebooks. Notebooks rule my life. I love them. That's where most of my writing takes place these days. One of the major reasons that I got Pixie was so that I could write on the go but I do love writing my hand. Then the version (if it ever gets that far) on the web is the second version which makes it a little tighter which is always a good thing.
