Live and Let Die...

Yeah, have that song stuck in my head AGAIN...


Had to ditch Vamp Kisses....turned out to be waaay too teenager-y for me.

Went back to an old standby: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Yeah. Sweeeeeet.


Currently trying to write a script for a comic book.
Here's some definite characteristics:
-Introspective -> most of the action happens in flashbacks

-Post-Apocalypic -> totally didn't meant for it to be set in P.A. Texas panhandle...but that's what happens sometimes while storytelling.

-All about the protagonist -> okay, some would ask "what literature isn't?"
Reach Charles Dickens. His characters are completely linked (like, to the core) with the settings in which Dickens has placed them.
Oliver Twist is more about the state of the poor in England in Dickens' time than it is about a poor boy going through shitty life experiences.
...even though his life experiences are inexorably linked to the state of his surroundings, and these experiences give us a unique view into the state of his surroundings.

Yeah...completely linked.
My prot. Aleksander is the agent of plot, even when stuff happens TO him rather than him MAKING stuff happen, because we only see it through his eyes.

Anyway, fun time, even though it's beating the crap out of me with a sign that says "YOU'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE!!!!!!"
