Taking a Much-Needed Break
So, um, I must say, the new title for my journal is a "love at first thought" kind of thing. I might make that my catch-phrase from now on. If I ever get my own TV show, that phrase is going to be worked in somehow.
So, I've been running almost constantly for a while now, but it's almost done. After Thursday, I can take a breath and breaks again, at least until after Thanksgiving. In and among all this chaos that is my life, I've come up with an interesting story idea (although, I'm not going to allow myself to work on it until I'm done with at least the first draft of Revoltuion).
I want to re-do Cinderella in a rather...intersting light. "Evil" step-mom is in cahoots with the fairy god-mother to get Cinderella a happily-ever-after sort of thing. Of course, she'll still act evil, but that's all it will be: an act. Still trying to decide whose viewpoint I can make it from. I probably couldn't pull of the step-mom, so I'm debating between step-sister or Cinderella herself. Me being me, I'm leaning towards Cinderella, but it might be fun to do the step-sister just to challenge myself. Anyway, if it wasn't already halfway through November and I wasn't already drowning in work, I might consider doing it for NaNoWriMo. Maybe I'll make my own NaNo in December or January.
I've barely had any time to even work on my castle. Well, actually, the walls and roof of the castle are done and I did start on the plants. Then I got bored and decided to skip to the dragon and have barely had time to work on her (John, Rong, Jo and a few other decided my dragon was definitally female). You can kind of see the curve of her neck, but most of it is stuff I did today, since I finally decided that I needed quiet down-time. I've either been working or doing things like going to movies and watching football with large groups.
I feel like watching Firefly or Serenity and then going to bed. Maybe I will. I was up really late last night and then had to get up this morning for classes.
Well, signing off!
