Feb. 24th, 2010 09:50 amI did not get nearly enough writing done today. Some, but not enough, and what I did needs some polishing (and two more parts) before I post it. I'm not too worried about it, though, because I got to chat with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lrodell and shusu, whom I do not see very often anymore.
Also, I got a lot of thinking done. Because I'm feeling really happy and excited about feeling healthier, right? And I want to just rush right off and write epic things and do stuff and I just... don't think it's actually a good idea. Because whether I realized it or not, I haven't been well for a long time and I probably don't have the stamina I'd like to. I don't know yet about the doing stuff, but here's the plan with my writing.
I feel like on some level I don't know how to articulate myself properly anymore. I've been looking over old stories and skimming through old books and it's like... what was I doing? I know what I was trying to say now but. Ugh.. See, I'm doing it right now.
What I'm going to do is, review all my old favorites, the games and the tv shows (Samurai Troopers, oooh ouch) and books and movies and just. Write. Nothing major, unless the story takes me there, but at least one drabble or so for every character I love, or every moment in the story that moves me to write. So I can work on expressing why I love this character, or this moment. Who is this person to me, and why would I back them in a fight - or occasionally give them a good slap, sometimes that's what someone needs.
Also, if I feel like character reviews or noting interesting parallels in canons. For example, Riku of Kingdom Hearts and Teepo of Breath of Fire III - separated at birth much? :P Same major character flaw - they listen to people they never should have. Teepo, no talking to guys in green cloaks for you. Riku. Just. AUGH. Okay, you don't get to talk to strangers period. You need to let Sora and Kairi do all the talking to strangers.
He used to be my favorite of the KH good guys, but after Days? Not so much anymore. And I know how it happened and all, but. Put it this way: I'm doing all my leveling by repeatedly kicking his butt in that very last mission, and it's not all because that gets me the most exp. That's just a bonus.
Sora is growing on me, though, I'm looking forward to getting to those games. Just. It's too soon for those, I've played them too recently. One thing I have noticed just offhand, I think what bothered me most and what will make him a bit of a challenge to write? Sora is not a naturally analytical person. Nor is suspicion native to his character. I used to think he was just horribly naive, and he is a bit but. He's not as clueless as I thought, and there's a real difference there.
I am a naturally suspicious and analytical person (though it may not sometimes appear so :p ) and just. Sora's mindset is kind of alien to me. XD
Also, more![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
kh_drabble and this one 100_women. But no stressing, and no worrying about word counts (except where necessary for the challenges). ...this is the bit that will not be easy for me, because I am impatient and I don't really want to take it easy and work my way up to speed. ^^;
Seriously, if I'm ever in chat or make a post about writing anything Epic, beat me over the head. I'll have asked for it. :P
And before I crash completely, because I am getting sleepy here - did anybody else know about this?! Lunar: Silver Star Harmony Lunaaaar! It's a remake for the PSP. It is now completely official, I want me a PSP. I may end up getting one with some of tax money. Which will mostly be going to health bills, but if there's enough left... or at least the game, even if I end up saving up for the system. Because my rule of thumb is, I don't want to buy a system unless I'll end up spending more on games than on the system. It's sort of like a bookshelf, you have to have enough books to make it worth it. Sort of. idk, I'm sleepy.
Crashing - now. XD
