Passing the three-quarters mark

Why yes, you have heard correctly. That is absolutely right. I am three-quarters, seventy-five percent of the way, one and a half hours, through my script for script frenzy and it's barely been a week. I am so on track it's awesome. I love it. I love my script to death now that I can see that it's actually going to end. I don't think it's awesomely well written (since most of my stuff isn't) but who cares? I write for fun and this has definitely been fun. Not least the pic drawing and the trailer thinking and everything. I almost have an urge to edit my script! Of course, I'll wait until I hit 20 000 before I start cutting chunks out (which I doubt I will do anyway, since unlike Alf's story, Alice's story is in a neater bundle without that extraneous description that barely fits in).

SO HAPPY!!! =)

I had to add the giant crazy-looking face because this post did not look nearly happy enough (after all those posts with pics in them).

Another pic

Here are Alice and Shorty again, together. This image looks much better smaller since it really rather sucks. But at least they bear a resemblance to their former selves. And I got them looking sisterly together, at least. And you can see Shorty's hair better. Anyway, now I am off to bed.

I've been busy

I'm over 11 000 words and another picture closer to my goal!

This is Dennis. Alice/Zelda's love interest and all around good guy. I won't say nice, because he might not be. I like his t-shirt. It is awesome.

Hey hey, you're a monkey!

The title was irrelevant.

So far it has been a little more than a week (okay, so it's been like nine days) and I have a total word count of over ten thousand words, meaning that I am going along swimmingly.

Except that I'm a little stuck, so I started playing around with Photoshop a bit more. I really do want to make a trailer for my movie, even if it sucks. But to do that I need more pics of my characters. And thus I present to you: Shorty, Alice's younger sister and best friend.

A movie poster!

I've been wanting to make a movie preview, and a poster, but I haven't the time, so I've been holding back.

Anyway, last night, since ELEC is totally getting me down I made a movie poster.

It's only little since I made it for the Screnzy site and they only allow little ones. But yeah, the text at the bottom is silly anyway, so it's a good thing you can't read it.

Stuck in a hostage situation with my main characters

There's a gunman, who's basically holding up a bank because he thinks it's a great way to get publicity. He's actually a good guy besides the fact that he just threw a guy out the window, since he just wants some attention so that he can tell the world that the evil genius is in fact evil. Sadly for him, no one's going to find out and everyone's going to think he's evil instead.

The thing is, this was going to be a plot device to showcase the fact that Dennis has the power to nullify other people's powers. The gunman was originally just going to be your standard bank robber who would use his powers to open the bank vault.

So, clearly since I've written like a thousand words of this, I'm not about to cut it out in this stage of the game (or I'll never get those thousand words back), so what am I supposed to do?

I'm considering just letting Zelda save the day (by allowing Alice to save the day) and not revealing Dennis' powers. But then, what was the point of the scene. I mean, it came out that Zelda and Dennis used to date, and that the Vice Chancellor of the uni is a bit spacey, and that there's a cop in charge who's not so fabulous... but that's got nothing to do with my story.

Maybe it'll just serve to plant the seed in Alice's mind to be suspicious of Oxford. Hmmm...
