Still writing, after all these years

Was that 'still writing'? 'Still crazy'? or 'Still trying, very trying'. Progress was less than I wanted this week, but I'm not concerned about it right now, because what I did do felt like it was falling into place. Dialogue is still a weak point, but I guess that's what revisions 1-4 will take care of, for now I'm just getting the basics of the conversations down, and I'll add the characterization and rhythm when I start revising.

I have done some reminescing about years back when I was writing IFGS games, I remember writing the first games without a computer. (can you say Corolla Manual Typewriter?) White out and photocopiers were my friends. That was work. I don't think I could do it that way today.

The other thing I was thinking about was how I enjoy listening to a piece of music (either without words, or in a different language) and imagining a scene that goes with it. Often movie scores are fertile grounds for exercising that imagination, though it's best if I haven't seen the movie that the music goes to. I guess I'm the opposite of a composer, he sees a movie without soundtrack, and imagines music to go with it. I listen to music, and imagine a scene that someday may become a novel.

Anyway, nuff said. Time to get my BIC/HOK..... Oh. Already there.....
