you make me happy just by being around
Today, I watched 2 and 3/4 movies. Lilo & Stitch, The Little Mermaid and The Royal Tenenbaums. All of which I love. :) TRT was on Sundance channel, that's the only reason I only watched 3/4 of it. We caught it at the part where Margot comes home and finds Eli in her closet, so we hadn't missed too much.
By watching Disney movies, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic last night, I started thinking about my idea for a cartoon series/movie that I'd like to create, or at least see happen. Now I can't decide if I should write up a treatment or a script for it, or NaNoWriMo-ize it and see how it goes from there, or what. It involves squirrels. Of course. You can see a kind of sneak peek of it in the background of my videos...
I have a sort-of idea for this year's NaNoWriMo, but it's nowhere near as strong as last year's. I didn't finish last year's. I really need to. I feel like I've been letting my sci u - sorry, that was Habi hopping across my keyboard [sci u? He likes science universities, maybe... anyway] - my frustrations with my WWII love story take up my brain, to the point where I can't even write, just self-criticize. :| So I might need to take a break from that. Maybe finish my WriMo from last year. That was so carefully planned last year. I feel stupid for not finishing. This year's goal will be to finish.
Part of me is wondering if, since I've never even gotten off the ground with my WWII story, I should just try my hand at writing and finishing THAT in November... I've technically written some of it, but I've also started it and re-started it so many times that it wouldn't even really count. The story really only lives in my head, still. Hmph. I might be able to get out an actual, complete draft of it if I actually force myself to write it during that time... Hmmm... thinky thoughts...
What would you do?
First things first: I am going to try to finish last year's WriMo before this year's WriMo begins. And probably send the complete draft to Twin!jinxycat because I write better when I know someone will be reading what I've written. I write for an audience. That's probably weird, isn't it? Like, I write these entries to be read by other people, not just for my own benefit. Which is why keeping up with a written journal has always been kind of touch and go with me. I've kept up with the one Tara made me, though. ^_^ Because Tara made it for me and it's freaking beautiful.
I wrote all the words to "Angry (Feet)" in it most recently, though. I need to write an actual entry in it again soon. Or story planning. Or something.
