Greetings

ETA: Oh Coldemort, how you make me smile.

OTWOV · 07-22-2011, 06:10 AM

haha, yeah your coldemort makes me laugh everytime I see it

Arianna Sterling · 07-22-2011, 06:15 AM

Mission accomplished then

So how goes the writing?

OTWOV · 07-22-2011, 06:18 AM

I was having trouble with the scenes following my big reveal/inciting moment, so I gave in, and drew up a plot graph

my first one ever. But it helped be establish who my character is, want he wants, and what's standing in his way. So, I guess it really did it's job. Now it just comes down to putting in the words to fill the gaps. And considering I'll be up all night I want to try and reach 15k.

Arianna Sterling · 07-22-2011, 06:20 AM

Sounds like a heck of a plan. But at least you have something to work off of.

Thalia · 07-22-2011, 06:32 AM

New FB profile pic, you guys! Very Amy Pond-ish, IMO.

Horserider · 07-22-2011, 06:33 AM

I have returned from the wilderness!

OTWOV · 07-22-2011, 06:34 AM

Hello, I don't know Amy Pond, but congratulations? I think...yeah, yeah, congrats

Hey Horserider

Arianna Sterling · 07-22-2011, 06:37 AM

Very pretty, and it is indeed Amy-ish.

Welcome back HR

Thalia · 07-22-2011, 06:41 AM

HR! Hi!

Ooh, took another picture! And then played with it!

OTWOV · 07-22-2011, 06:52 AM

This is creepy because I crept into, euh, stumbled upon you profile just now and it said you're fifteen, but you are a ridiculously attractive human being

Thalia · 07-22-2011, 07:01 AM

You totally just made my week.

OTWOV · 07-22-2011, 07:03 AM

Well I'm glad, if my girlfriend ever saw that, she might not be, but that's neither here nor there.

Thalia · 07-22-2011, 07:04 AM

lol

okay, I have a half hour to figure out a general plot outline and start spreadsheeting!

Arianna Sterling · 07-22-2011, 07:06 AM

Go, Tally, go! And that picture is fantastically green. I love it.

OTWOV · 07-22-2011, 07:08 AM

general plot lines are easy. Normal life (angsty teen), inciting moment (something bad happens), conflict (all the stuff that makes things worse), climax (oh no! big bad thing that ends with good stuff), return to normal life (Well that was fun, what's next?)

just substitute in your MC

, I'm helpful I know

Thalia · 07-22-2011, 07:09 AM

My horoscope told me that spring green was my lucky color today, so I was like "why the hell not".

OKAY I HAVE TO BECOME HEALTHY BECAUSE THERE IS A FAMILY REUNION TOMORROW AND I HAVE TO OFFEND MY CONSERVATIVE COUSINS WITH MY EXTENSIVE SUPPY OF MINISKIRTS!

Yeah... that's kind of messed up.

Oh, man, now I'm thinking "my picture is green to reflect my current state of illness"

ETA: That is awesomeful plottiness. Also, I just realized that you live in Ontario. I am currently in Oakville (born in Toronto). Is that weird or what?

OTWOV · 07-22-2011, 07:15 AM

Okay time to take a break, and rock out a quick skateboarding session, see ya soon

Keagerz · 07-22-2011, 07:17 AM

Wow. taking a shower put me into a really weird mood....

I'm not liking it at all. :/

Arianna Sterling · 07-22-2011, 07:18 AM

You make me smile, Tally

Thalia · 07-22-2011, 07:23 AM

THAT'S MY-- oops, still on caps lock.

That's my goal in life.

Arianna Sterling · 07-22-2011, 07:45 AM

My friend and I have just concluded that I am a walking book index.

amlptj · 07-22-2011, 07:48 AM

Hey everyone, i've been playing with Adobe Illustrator for hours!

*Points to new avi*

Arianna Sterling · 07-22-2011, 07:49 AM

Sounds like an appropriate way to spend time.

OTWOV · 07-22-2011, 07:50 AM

Yeah Thalia, I was born and raised in Windsor, moved to Sault Ste marie, and am going to Sudbury for University.

Also Keags, it may help your weird feeling if you dry off before putting clothes on.

And Ari, I've never consulted a book index before :P

oh and nice new avvy, ampltj
