Is this thing on?

Figures—just when I say I’ve got plans to start updating on a regular basis, I disappear for two weeks.

I didn’t intend to. I’ve had the main part of this entry written for a week and a half. I just haven’t had a chance to post it. Or update my page count for Script Frenzy, which is why it just jumped by thirty-odd pages.

I guess that means it’s going well.

I was a little worried going in. I’ve wanted to write this particular story for quite a while, but I haven’t really felt like I was ready. Three weeks ago, it was still more concept than actual story—and reading over what I’ve written, I still think I should’ve put a little more thought into it before I started. (I should’ve at least come up with names for my characters. I’m still using dumb little placeholders.) But… there is a story here. It’s interesting, and twisty, and it’s just falling into place, as easily as if I’d planned it.

I’m having a lot of fun writing it.

Getting used to the formatting is the hardest part. I’ve never written a comic script before, and I’ve only read a couple, so it isn’t quite as instinctive as a screenplay. But I’m over fifty pages in, and I think I’m getting the hang of it. I still think I’m being a bit wordy, but… that’s not exactly new.

I’m loving the story, and it looks like I’m going to hit the hundred-page mark right on schedule.

It’s going well.
