one last word from the edge

Submitted by Vishal on Thu, 2002/10/31 - 6:06pm

Two hours to go. Like last time, I have the barest sense of what I want to to, a beginning that has nothing to do with the rest of the plot (i.e. I don't really know what to do in the beginning of the plot). Like last time, I have half my mind on another thing, in this case a rather long story on Vampire Rose for Fantasybits.

november, again

You'd think that's I'd at least learnt my lesson by now. But now, even with one unfinished novel still at the halfway mark, the new moth just a week away, I've taken the plunge and signed up for NaNoWriMo 2002.

Meanwhile Tale of a Thousand Savants has had some work put into it -- okay, so just one chapter -- but it's now broken 40K. Whee! And it only took me a year! I'll plug some more words into it by November 1st -- maybe even finish the Eule arc by then if I'm lucky -- and then move onto the NaNo2K2 novel.

Mother dead. 20 July 2002.

I think that sums it up quite nicely...

¡Vb!

ghost of the past

You thought I was dead.

You thought I was just lazy.

Okay, so you were right on the second one.

Two and a half months. A lot has happened. So let's just run the checklist, 'kay?

No, I didn't finish the nanovel in time. Mom went to the hospital on the 11th (Nov 2K1), so things were on hold and I -- almost -- decided to shelve it until the 28th, when I thought I might go out in a blaze of glory. By Zero Hour I had gone up to 35K.

Not bad. Then I decided to take the day off...

We started doing GIF animations today. Did one of a stick-figure scratching his head. Pretty nice. I think I've found my True Calling.

Again.

Nanovel's first 'episode' has ended with chapter three -- I'm quite happy with it, turned out different from what I thought it would. Savant says some semikewl things, it's nice to see he can still do that. For a few months there I thought he'd gone soft and reverted to Goofy-Sav mode -- nice to see that he too can surprise me.

Chapter one is ready. I'm happy with it, as I usually am with things I never plan out. It was going to be a long conversation ending with a ship looming out of the clouds and breaking the mood between Savant and Esfi, but suddenly I was stuck at Savant saying, "Pretty," when Efpi, completely out of the blue, said:

"I don't charge for sex."

And Savant replied: "Neither do I."

From there the story just found its way to the chapter cliffhanger. I might go back in next month and add details, but right now it -- though rushed, sucky crap -- is pretty okay.

I'm even hyped for writing chapter 2 now, and I probably will, after this. Damn, this is going to be a fun, hectic, crazy month.

standing on the edge of november

Submitted by Vishal on Wed, 2001/10/31 - 7:42pm

It's about half an hour to go. November. I'm trying to pass the time away with Bender, but that isn't working. In fact, instead of writing, I edited some stuff out. Muse permitting I might write the entire pre-harem and harem scenes tomorrow. Of course, she might want me to go straight to The Tale of a Thousand Savants, Bender might have to be put on hold for a few days, at least to burn up the pent-up pre-nano energy.

11th hour

This sucks. Bender isn't even halfway done. Tomorrow's the last free day before the NaNoWriMo starts. Tomorrow is E-Commerce. Tomorrow I have to shave. Tomorrow I have to write the juicy bits of the business proposal.

This sucks.

Oh well, at least I got the Intangibles group set up. Not ready to accept people yet, but more on that tomorrow. ^_^

As the title says, Bender is back and flowing, though an edit will be needed -- once it's done, once it's done. Swimming along at 5350 words, not even halfway done, maybe as little as a quarter -- and I'm loving it. Sansaarika will be starring in a lot of future things, methinks. Now if only I could draw...

...speaking of drawing, the Cube-i-fying work continues at an okay pace -- not doing a lot, but it's better than nothing. I'll probably refine single figures and stuff for the next month, then move onto cubed scenes (Roman Senates in Cubes seems like a nice thing to try).

I never thought they could do it again.

I never once thought they could actually do it again. Sure, it looked okay in the screenshots, a tad underwhelming compared to FFX, but then, that was the way with the last one too. I remember those screenshots: interesting, but not intriguing. That changed soon enough.

One of the first video clips I downloaded on the internet, 4 years ago, was from Squaresoft's website. It was tiny, pixellated, aretfacted and I couldn't make out a single detail, but damn, that single 5 second clip sold it for me.
