God bless free time!
This totally made my day. Now I really, really want them to make a real live action movie.
I'm finding this whole re-writing Jirale thing to be a very strange experience. Right after re-reading the first chapter I knew I had to basically ignore everything I had written, while still following what I had written. Does that make sense to you? Because it's making less and less sense to me.
I have two versions of the scripts, the scripts that were used for the comic and my re-edited version that I did well after the comic was underwar. At first I was just going off the re-edited version, but then I started re-reading the comic as well to see where the idea came from and how I got from point a to b so that I can skip right along to j (heh, I totally picked that letter randomly. Go subconscious!).
Is this what it feels like to adapt a book into a movie? Always looking back at the source material? Not so much to re-create the scene, but find the essence of the scene and capture that?
As I write I find myself constantly stopping to go back a few pages to add things in I suddenly realize need more explaining/depth. This feels like a slow process, but since I started doing this yesterday (or was it the day before? Wow... time is starting to melt together) and have already written 10,200 words (40 pages, double spaced), it's actually moving along and a startlingly fast pace.
Especially since I keep stopping to re-watch Lord of the Rings commentaries.
