Since about 2009-ish to October last year I hadn't been doing a lot of writing. I'd come up with ideas for new projects, get a lot of ground work done, feel bad for neglecting old stories, begin to re-read old stories, become overwhelmed with the amount of unfinished projects... and then stop writing again. It has been very stressful and frustrating. I did a lot of work with my sister, we wrote a script for a movie we were going to submit to a contest, but didn't get it done in time. Then we re-wrote it and were going to film it ourselves with family and friends. Actually on its' many forms we always had some scenes that weren't complete, but notes on what was suppose to happen. Anyway, now we're going over the 3-4 versions of the script and turning it into a radio drama we want to do and post on YouTube.
Then for my ASL club at college we hosted a couple of murder mystery nights. I wrote the scripts for them (yay, two finished stories in less than a year!) and the events were more like plays where the whole room was our stage and we had conversations with the audience. It did a LOT to re energize my creativity.
So now I'm working on
-scifi radio drama with my sister
- posting 2 of my old online comics over here while re-writing them into novels (shojo manga style stories)
-editing a script for a shojo manga style story that I didn't have an artist for
-editing a fantasy/fair tale-ish comic that I lost my co-writer and artist to. I'm making a lot more changes with this story, had to replace 2 main characters so I wasn't using the characters my co-writer created.
I was really hyped yesterday and this morning, but now I'm feeling really drained and not as confident with the list of deadlines. I may need to reconsider how often I want to update each one. I've done a lot of writing in the last 3 days, so I'm happy with that.
I wouldn't mind do a collaborative story with someone, but I would prefer it be with one of the Shojo stories.
