For My Dreams...
I am slowly getting used to the idea of relying on script writing to tell my stories. It will be easier for me that way, at least once I learn the general structure for scripts, and I will get more done--maybe even complete a project or two.
Of course, reading a script and reading a book are two entirely different things. In truth, writing books is something that I never want to let go of because it is the one activity that makes me happy. But I suppose story telling is story telling, regardless. Besides, reading is something that I don't have to let go of if I miss books that much.
And now... I'll be able to work on my projects and start submitting to companies.
It is the combination of the visual and written elements that I love about animation. It disheartens me a little that writing generally seems to be considered less important when the entire process is considered... but I suppose it can't be helped. The thing that I was most reluctant about in changing the writing format... was that it felt like I was losing more control over the project. Writing novels seems to give off more of the illusion that the author has complete control over their own work... but I suppose that's rarely the case in reality. As long as my original intent with my writing is preserved then I can give up the amount of control that I usually desire with my works.
But really, I need to rekindle my love for cartoons and watch something that thrills/fascinates me. Haven't had that feeling in so long... but then I haven't really been keeping up with any new shows/releases.
Anyway, I would like to write one books just to prove to myself that I am capable of it. And maybe I can try to get published and earn a little credibility and cash. Haha, but I suppose that shouldn't be my first priority. Although... an income would be really nice right now.
