Good cheese.
Sep. 14th, 2005 10:03 pmI've been enjoying Buffy. Not terribly conducive to productivity, but very entertaining, and, as the subject above suggests, it's good cheese. Glad I'm not lactose intolerant. Apparently I've been terribly short on love triangles in my life, cuz I'm finding the relationship dance cute instead of painful or irritating.
Working on a Spycraft setting that may hold my interest - current working name is 'Falls the Shadow'. The major theme is human evolution. My current plan, if my ideas actually become reasonably firm, will be to do some casual writing in the setting before actually writing the characters and the seasons. That'll be interesting. It hasn't yet even come near to beating the 1-week barrier that my short attention span erects. On the upside, the setting has the potential to provide legitimate platforms for some of my favorite elements in storytelling. If I can do it right.
If I continue angsting about my writing abilities, I'll need a smack. If I drop this and wander off like a distracted child, I also need a smack. If I start writing drabbles, haiku, or song lyrics using my world as the setting, I'll need an exorcism. If, on the gripping hand, I actually get something written that works, and get inspired to write game, stories, or both, I'll be getting cookies. Or maybe a nice scotch.
There, one so-so story idea written down already.
Oh, and I _like_ my Umberjack icon. It keeps me warm - I've already been told to die in a fire for it. Go blame Kovalic, though, I didn't come up with it.
