A very disjointed post, mostly about writing.
Well, Diviners is consistently inconsistent. I'm finally getting my act together, except not, illness is passing around the cast, and we coming up with little things that everyone thought everyone else was doing, or something like that. All said, however, I think it's going to end up being a good show. I don't know that I'll want to stage manage again anytime soon though.
I really want the Spring Classes to be posted so that I can start scheduling those. I'm really hoping I'll be able to take a bunch of useful-to-tranferring academic classes and do the One Acts again. Speaking of One Acts, once I get it revised, I may ask a couple of you writer/theater types to read the one I'm writing that I'd really like to direct.
I'm only working one day in November at LVPAC, which kinda sucks, but with the show I couldn't submit for many times. And it sounds like I'll be getting some HP work soon, which will be really good.
Abbey and I have started meeting on Thursday afternoons to have kind of a Bible Study time. I think it's going to be really helpful to me, but at the same time I still feel like I'm really fake in practising my faith. (But then, how often do you find vampire and mythology buff, theater major, conservative Christians anyway?)
My NaNoWriMo is starting to really latch on and eat my brain. I'm just hoping I can hold onto it until November. I've been trying to make lots of notes; trouble is I'm almost too organized about it. If I could just scribble down whatever crap gushes out of my brain, I'd probably be in much better shape. One of my favorite things about this idea though is that it's divided into five sections, so it's more like I'm writing five conjoined 10k word stories instead of one 50k story. And since they really are all the same story and characters, it doesn't feel like cheating so much.
I had a plotbunny the other day that I'm tossing around, but let's hear what all you Dracula fans think.
Modern Morpheus: The Diary of Dr. Jane Seward -- Jane Seward follows two illustrious family traditions: doctoring the insane and and addiction to painkillers. However, when she's asked to examine a patent whose particular breed of madness seems like something familiar out of fiction, she finds herself caught in a strange, and possibly supernatural mystery. Armed with her great-great grandfather's diary, she sets out to track down the decendants of the party who battled the most famous vampire of all time in hope that they can stop something their ancestors didn't.
Too cheesy? Too overdone? Plain stupid? I'd base some of it off my made-up canon with the DracKids, but obviously some of it would be different. Lemme know that you think.
