Makin' with the updates
Jul. 18th, 2007 01:46 amOkay. This is typical of me: lay down a bunch of goals for the summer and then suddenly realize that there's only a month and half left and I'm *way* behind. Le sigh. Didn't I do this last year? When will I learn?
Anyway, I do have SOME stuff done. I wrote a script in June, which in a roundabout way got me involved in a local theatre group that's putting on a festival next month. I'm acting again! It's gonna be fun!
I finished the hard-copy edits of Blue Goo. Now I need to go through the soft copy and impliment the changes I made or hinted at throughout. I also need to take a long, hard look at my characters and the settings, and decide whether I want to append a whole new section to the book and make it significantly longer. What could possibly be wrong with MORE wacky alien hijinx? But that would mean a total overhaul, so I'll probably work with what I have and then reevaluate later.
At the start of the summer I hinted that I was going to produce a finished short story every month, and post a writing exercise every week. I'm modifying this goal a bit: I'm going to have ONE finished short story to post by the end of the summer, and I'm going to dedicate an hour a week to working on it (more will probably happen, but I'm starting small.) I'll blog a little with my progress and possibly snippits that either please or annoy me. I'm also going to try to post a little writing exercise every day, mostly challenged by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eternalism. Mostly I want to get in the habit of writing every day.
So with that in mind, here's a short one that very few people will actually understand:
( Whopper - 150 words, first draft )
