So I Entered A Writing Competition...
Comments

Shin: Aaron! Dammit, I feel so guilty >.>; I wanted to get everything written down as soon as I got back... I just never got round to it. But I had a great time. I just remembered us walking aorund looking at the Link and various other people in costume. Sorry if I seemed quiet, though- I guess I was a little flummoxed by your incredible aura :p

I once heard that Florida was 'America's foreskin'... it seems to have quite an attraction to it despite that, heh.

JJ: Whatwhat? Part 2? I'm confused now o_O;

Shy: I have a thing for Yoshi. I always play as him whenever I can. But I opened a can of mild whup-ass as a ShyGuy, so I'm not really complaining ^_^

Sami: I have them somewhere, methinks. I might get another one taken, a more poser-ish one, as I've not had a decent photo in a while.

6th December
JJ: Trying to go round the hurdle just gets it moved back in front of you >.>;

Azure: Thanks, Azure ^_^

Kei: *huggu* I know... it's just silly sometimes. And I have problems motivating myself to get going with little things to do with long-term projects. I'd really like to comission some designs of my characters but I don't know any artists who live nearby. Methinks it'll have to be a DeviantArt hunt, or something.

As the title infers, I entered a writing competition yesterday. I don't know if anyone's familiar with Gideon Defoe's 'The Pirates!' books (they are fantastically funny, by the way), but they're running a competition on Amazon UK in which entrants write an 800 word or less addition to a bit of a story, and the best one gets published in the paperback edition of 'The Pirates! In An Adventure With Communists'. As soon as I found out I started writing and I didn't stop until midnight last night, refining it over and over again (and doing a rewrite of the second half at something past eleven), and overall I'm really pleased with it. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much as the results aren't decided until March, but I can't help thinking it would be fantastic if I was chosen all the same, hehe ^_^

EDIT: Although apparently my e-mail didn't get received four hours after I sent it... I may contact them and ask on Monday, see if they got it o_o;

I guess... another reason for entering was to show myself that I can do it, given the time and right motivation. And that I can come up with something good and recognise if something isn't working. My story's progressing pretty slowly at the moment, as I've an aversion to putting what I've got on paper onto the computer because I know I'll want to change it all (and there are already things I can think of that need adding). On top of that, I haven't got anything to rest the notebook on while I type, meaning I have to have it on my lap or the floor, giving me a bad back -__-;

I've The Caretaker and our film to go through before then, though. But I know I can't keep taking on other projects to sideline my own, otherwise it'll never happen.

That's about it for now. Pan's Labyrinth is showing at the local cinema this evening and I really want to go but I don't particularly want to go by myself...

...anyone want to come with me?
