I hate it when the door to my room is open when I'm trying to sleep. All the sounds of the outside world sneak in and wreak havoc on my peace. That's how I woke up this morning. At least I was up earlier than usual.
Unexpectedly, I was plunged into a midday Borderlands 2 session. We completed the Mr. Torgue DLC and we're back on the main quest. Sanctuary just phase-shifted to the pie in the sky. We'll have to level up to thirty before we can start Tiny Tina, which I hear is unanimously the best one.
I watched the anime for Mayo Chiki. I was reading the manga yesterday and I wanted to see the animated version. I have no idea why, but I find the masculine voice by female voice actresses to be very sultry. Maybe I got a thing for husky voices?
Today, the collaboration was published in its entirety, and as expected, the last story gathered the most accolades. I don't think of myself as a master plotter. I think story is my weak point, but my strongest point is storytelling. I'm all about the narrative. The better the story idea, the weaker my narrative, but the weaker the story idea, the stronger my narrative. I've yet to make a perfect combination of the two.
I also realized that I made no attempt to describe appearances, only faces, but not the clothes, which might've helped to bring across the Victorian era feeling. I was so wrapped up in the narration that I didn't notice. I think it does help with the dreamlike feeling. Rarely do we focus on such details in our sleep. Maybe it speaks to my narrative skill that nobody ever noticed.
Either way, it's always good to keep the basics in mind. When describing something, use all five senses. We always forget one or two but we should make it a habit to think of all five. I've been getting pretty lazy in that aspect. Gotta whip myself back into shape again.
We're already beginning preparations for the next collaboration. We got together on Google Hangouts. They were all very surprised by my haircut. We mainly touched base. The real work is gonna happen tomorrow, and some of the ideas we're throwing around will probably blow some readers' minds.
Let's see how it'll pan out.
