Time to switch it up a bit

Ok, so let's take stock; I'm a -bit- better about coming within spitting distance of a schedule, I pounce on the chance for "not junk" when the opportunity presents itself, but there's always room for more, I still mostly just write for my game not myself & my yoga mat is still packed up, but I have been reading more. So all in all, not tremendous strides, I'll grant you. Maybe I should have put 'work on follow through' on the list?

It's just turned April now & I'm thinking of trying something new in hopes of getting my mind all excited about a project again. I think I'm going to take a whack at Script Frenzy this month. If that sounds a bit waffling, I don't mean it to, I just know I'm going to have to write around some pretty heavy family obligations this month as I've got family coming in from out of state & across the globe. Shiny new projects are great, nieces that live in another country come first tho', sorry.

If you've never heard of Script Frenzy, it's another project done by the people that created NaNo. The point is simple, try to write a 100 page script (screenplay, stage play, teleplay or graphic novel) in April. While I'm a big movie fan, I don't actually read scripts, but I've got a shelf full of graphic novels. I'm thinking it'll be a companion piece to one of two stories I have started already. It'll either be the baddies' take on things from one world or the full Paper World story from a book-world-within-a-real-world thing I've got started. I'll probably use rough sketch filler art for the time being & do the full graphics after the text is done.

And yeah....I can do my own art. I'm cool like that.

Ok kids, just a quick stop in to let the two of you still out there know that I'm not dead yet. Hope things are well in your corner of the world.
