Another week later and the dates confuse but I got it pegged now

Its because its February, and I guess I got thrown by the short days of the month. I should have posted on the 24 but alas, I had issues.

Well, I'm glad to say I have some renewed focus as I came across a competition for a short film that need to be submitted by March 27th. Given the story I want to tell, I feel now, more than previously, I am able to visually get the feel I want. 

Amazingly this is all with free software too, but first I have to transform my mindmap into a sequence and script then shot breakdown. There is much to do.

Aaaand I just missed... again

 Being in the throngs of making a short film, and having to follow certain processes has this week, distracted me sufficiently from doing a regular Monday blog update this week. I'm not too upset with myself however because since last week I've registered for film funding opportunities, with a government organisation and made good progress on my short film.  I started my usual planning process with a mind map in Freeplane, then a sequence plot in Twine, and then the actual script I've written with Trelby.

But the forced return to drawing has been good.  So that's whats happened since last post...

So with that in mind, from Monday to Friday, I get up at 5am and work on my writing until 6:30am. Currently I'm working on a novel and also a graphic novel and screenplay of the same story. I guess this is my finding a creative rhythm in all the different creative things I do.  When I'm seated here at 5am its just me associating the space with writing productively, and it works I find. I find my flow state more easily knowing this is my writing spot. Now I just need to find other time slots where I can link my music and arty creativity to. I had a 22 inch drawing pen and tablet that I bought in 2021 give up the ghost suddenly near the end of l...

shiny new things in the sunlight

 Recently David Lynch passed away. In several of his videos and masterclasses he mentions the value of getting ideas or catching ideas.  In my workings on my first novel I've noticed how querying certain scientific or tech things through ChatGPT has not only provided or confirmed ideas, or things I wanted to know, but it, ChatGPT, has also provided me new avenues of thought and spawned extra story ideas.  Its an interesting time to be a creative...
