Bit out of my depth here...
Not a fic this time, but I might post one or two tomorrow. Just feeling a little stressed at the mo' from an overload of Shit I Need to Take Care Of. Unfortunately for my workload, I relieve stress by pretending I have no workload. YAY PROCRASTINATION. Let's see... the due date for the current challenge at 5_prompts is tomorrow, and I'm still two fics short. Got a few that are partly finished, but I'm just not feeling them.
Also due tomorrow is a short essay for my lit class. We're reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde, which I am LOVING, and the prompt is brilliant; basically, it's a Gothic tale and therefore as per the standards, should have a damsel in distress...but there's no prominent female characters. So I have to find the female vulnerability int he story. My thesis? Dr. Jekyll is a freaking pansy. XD I love this class. But yeah, need 2 pages for tomorrow by noon, it's now ten at night. SO IMMA IGNORE IT FOR A BIT MORE. I think I must be an intellectual masochist or something.
Then there's the script for my film project The Wild Hunt, which still needs finished. I'm about a month behind schedule on that already; at this rate, I'm beginning to think we won't be ready in time to film it this summer like we were scheduling. I love this story and the characters, but I'm getting a little tired of trying to wrestle with the constraints of being a no-budget filmmaker with few options. I keep catching myself wondering if it might be better to shelve this project until we have adequate money, supplies, more practice, more time, etc. I just think it's becoming too big of a project and it's going to buckle under it's own weight. But I have a bad habit of not completing projects, and I REALLY want to not let this one die like i have with others. On the other hand, I know we'd do a better job later. I think I might set up a shorter project to do as practice...or possibly try to rework it into shorter increments, like a series of shorts rather than a feature...that may work better. But I would have to rework the entire script. AGAIN. and my cowriter would likely strangle me (again).
A friend of mine has requested that I team up with him to audition for an original character tournament over at deviantArt. He writes, but doesn't draw, and they only accept visual work, so I'm going to draw it for him. I kinda hope we don't make it past auditions, because I really don't think I'll have enough time to devote the necessary attention and energy, but I love him so Imma do my best anyways!
Then there's this project that I've been working on for...a year and a half now. I got permission from the author of my favorite Lord of the Rings fanfiction to make a doujinshi adaptation. I just forgot that it's forty chapters long and requires drawing backgrounds, cars, guns, helicopters, boats, planes, Rivendell, police stations, and EVERY FRIGGING LotR CHARACTER IN MODERN INCARNATIONS. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. I really love the story, but again, I think I may have bit off a little more than I can chew. and I feel bad for not working on it because the author knows and is excited to read it, and I'm working on it yes, but it's coming so slowly and I feel bad. :(
And this isn't even the full list; there's also all my other fanfics, and all my other original fiction projects, and the schoolwork from my other classes. Why am I so bad at properly managing my time? ...lol I suppose I should stop farting around on LJ and go get to work on some of this stuff...maybe taking stock will help me focus a little...
