Necrotic Obsession

Awesome! Can't wait to read what you got Christina =)

So am I. Let me know how you guys feel about a longer deadline. Like I said i'm not sure if i'll be finished even 2 months from now but I will submit what I have =)

I think the longer deadline would be better for me! I am doing research and writing the plot lines right now. I am incorporating Charles Manson LOL, it fits in my timeline. I think we should submit something like a rough draft or a preview after two weeks then just see how it goes. I figure I should be finished within two months though. It may take longer for others like yourself, I am not as good of a story teller so its kind of like work, but work I enjoy doing.

Anyways. I'm exhausted... I did renfaire and am sun burnt.... PEACE

*looks down* Well, try to think of it as reading a book instead of writing one and go there vicariously..to handle the stress and pressure. Revenant Strain is probably the hardest project i've ever worked on because it is so dense, coupled with writing a science fiction epic the creative process is very utopian.

For the shoot outs I just pretend i'm playing a 2 player shooter with my brother. Memorize the movements of the opposing gun men, and the changes of view point in the room, Dimensions and movement of the characters. Gives the scene a more ballistic feel instead of one on one combat (of course their are scenes where this is permitted).

okay, you all think we need more time? and two months would be ideal?

thats cool with me, im thinking the 4th of july at this moment for the new deadline. another revision if you guys agree to it, would be to make the story more than 500 words long, lol. the first night I started I was already up to 200, so maybe we should make the word limit say.........3000? or would that be too little or too much for a "short story"?

as for my project, I will say it involves a type of Lycanthrope, and not the one you are probably thinking of

That sounds cool. In the event that the story i'm working on will exceed the maximum word limit not too sound arrogant but it is part of a series I can always leave Epilogue passages to bide with contest rules (Not even posted on my myspace, although i'll continue to work on it from there after the contest)

Wow. I need to get past the research already. UGH! I just barely got my laptop working *crosses fingers* and wifi up and going. I love computer geeks! Well now that its working I can really put forth the effort as long as it keeps working properly!
Phew. Man, you are all kinds of bad ass Necro.

I will try my best to do as you said. I am almost certain that my story will be a minimum of 2000 so yes I think that more than 500 is good.

*looks down*...yeah...give it a year though...everyone believes in me in the beginning untill I screw things up or my toxic past does...

I really do appreciate your support though. It's really the only thing that keeps me going these days I hope that my lesson has helped you... Just do what you feel is best and save all of your notes Umm, for example I was reading an interview in a comic book that an artist (i'll have to find his name sorry) was writing a story in the Rennaisance period and it occured to him that he had no idea what a door knob looked like in that period. As far as the research aspect of our work is concerned I'm glad your computer is working fine, I wish you the best of luck http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_race Perhaps this might help you in your research. It is a hard category to research, umm try looking up History Channel documentaries relative with black magic and Hitler and the Holy Grail. I think it was phrased Nordic Army.

I thought I would never find a positive purpose. You've given me something bright to live for. I've considered teaching writing instead of talent scouting *smile* One of my brother's college teachers told the class in the introduction that he was there to teach them how to be artists, not to make money. They would incorporate music from various cultures, like Mozart promotes creativity. It seems so much more au natural then giving and taking, sort of like an eidetic.

...He told me that all of our failures are a part of learning. Those of us who couldn't afford to go to college, this is our writing school I never understood what an old friend of mine meant by " I wish that you could understand. ". Nothing is cheesy if it comes from your heart, caring too much is obsession, not caring is inconsiderate, the most sincere intention that is not abased by the requisition of purpose (What people expect from us). L'amore non muore (Italian- Love never dies)

I'm finished with the short story of one of my character's origins. Although the full word count was 3451 sorry about the long story, most of the time it's good to have those few days to polish and edit before you turn something in I can't wait to see what everyone came up with. The power we use is more instinctual, their will be many different powers to choose from each fighting style later on in the story

Well fuck. I cant wait to read what you have. It was a mixture of things why I never got this story off the ground level. A: I dont feel confident in my knowledge of history time frame and isnt willing to bullshit and make it up considering yall probably know your history.

I do like to write, but I'm not as flexible or disciplined as I thought I was. I can't make myself write about something that I'm currently not interested in. Dont get me wrong, I am just hitting the phase of being utterly fascinated with history, just not that time frame. Well, I might give it one last try to finish it up. I"m like four pages in so far... Dont know word count dont have Word ...

Atleast your honest

I felt the same way when we we're gathering old notes and writing notes for this story until we actually picked up on it and gave it flesh and blood. You could always channel your poetic energy into writing other scenes, more on the visuals then the dialogue.

I actually started working on a new scene for Revenant Strain right after I finished the LOC chapter 1. Revenant Strain is by all means a darker version of LOC where is LOC is more brutal. The change of scenery is a take off of Dystopia. The brighter scenery of Miami is the illusion of safety. Revenant Strain takes place mostly in New York but both sets of character's are somehow in a state of emergency.

Your poems sound like they would blend well in your writing universe. You could reference a dark presence, like a doppleganger, and mix it in with the history dialogue. For example, the star of David is some times referenced as Japan's Kagome (Sky High film). You see what i'm playing at? I couldn't have done it without your support Christina If you like I can copy and paste your draft through e-mail and run a spell check/word count on my system. I can make the copyright symbol for you too

Don't worry, i'm not too familiar with that period myself heh I know more about the civil war and Vietnam from my social studies in school.
