The other day, I got strangely inspired to start A Life Like This up again. Idk why, but I got inspired to keep writing it. I've been into OFAV lately, but I always get frustrated with the OFAV cast because they're more like caricatures of people than people themselves. (It's comedy, so thing get exaggerated I guess.) A Life Like This is a little easier on me mentally because... I don't know, it feels less whacky somehow and more level headed as a story. (MAKES NO SENSE, BUT...) I do want to see the story all the way through, one day. :V And I've also been thinking that it'd be really cute if I put little sketches within the pages of text of things going on in the story... of course, I wouldn't be able to upload it to theO like that, but oh well. And anyway, I'm getting off topic.
The main problem with my continuance of A Life Like This is that it really really needs revising. Revising is my biggest problem with writing because I hate looking back at the mistakes I made. GAH. MAKES ME CRINGE! And because I don't revise often, I don't get more confident with my writing. ;u; AHEH. But anyway, I pretty much want to give the current chapters a face lift, and work for there. Hopefully after the writing feels like it flows better, I can get more organized with the direction I want to go with the story.
Another problem is Dare's aspect of the story. To be completely honest, I have almost no desire to write a "band story." Right now Dare's storyline is intended to follow the structure of band forms, band gets noticed, band gets famous, band travels places, some sort of conflicts within happen, some sort of resolution. It's very straightforward, kind of unrealistic, and different in feeling or tone or something than Rick and Tim's story. The unrealistic aspect isn't my biggest concern, but I worry about making it fit the tone of the rest of the storylines. Moreover, I have difficulty fitting in Rick and especially Loyal. I really hope I figure some things out with Dare's story... I'd hate for it to just go around in circles. BAH.
But anyway, I'm rambling. xD; The title of this post is "Things I Want To Do." So here's some things I guess:
- Continue and revise A Life Like This
- Revise I Was a Boy, Too
- Finish Cellphones and Surreptitiousness (only one page left for me to draw!)
- Draw/write some College Stef and College Noland
- Work on the alt. universe Stef and Gabe for that challenge-thing
By the way, now that I'm in college I feel compelled to think about and draw College Stefan. I-I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ENTERING THE AGE OF THE BEGINNING OF STEFAN'S STORY... GAaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhah. ""orz This is a mix of crying (for I am older and will probably have a harder time relating to my high school characters) and laughing (because now I can relate somewhat better with college Stef and college Noland.)
Speaking of Noland, I've been really into drawing him lately! even though he's never consistent So if you see him popping up a lot in Various Planning, don't be surprised. IT'S BECAUSE I'M IN COLLEGE, AND HE WAS IN COLLEGE, AND STEFAN WAS IN COLLEGE... COLLEGE! I've been thinking a lot about Stefan and Noland's relationship, and I think they would've made a nice couple. :V OH WELL, NOLAND'S FAULT! or mine, technically Idk what I'm even talking about anymore.
IN CONCLUSION, I need to sleep. -u-b If I have time, I'll upload those comic pages. My mom helped me figure out the printer. 8D As in, she did everything... But yeah. Good night, have a good week! :)
