I'm not sure, but I think I'm ready.

I've got a rough thought on an old manga script to work with and a second script idea.

I'm going lighter this year than past years because I've got so much else on my plate right now. Just the two one hundred page scripts.

I've had the older idea for some years but it's really not much more than a setting and a few characters thus far, I've not worked out what the conflict and cause of the story is yet.

The other one is a new idea that's mostly fully formed I just have to hash out the details on what the bad guys (aka obstacles) look like and what type of script it is. I really like the idea of a movie, but it would be nearly impossable to do well, and graphic novel has it's own pros and cons.

One of the hardest parts of the story is that there really isn't much room for dialouge. It's almost entirely conflict and struggle and heroic devotion of characters to help each other survive and get to safety. But it's important to the basic premise that there be a major misunderstanding about who they are and what exactly happened in the beginning of the story.

This means that anything that would clarify the truth, any dialouge must be incomplete or broken before it ruins the story.

I really need to formalise the details in the next few days. I've also got to work on a few other tasks before months end. Then take a lighter load with goals for April While I square some stuff away.

May and June are working hard in prepping for Connecticon. Then the con, and a bit of fun before buckling down to try and make the budget for the summer work out and figure out which work I will focus on for my income for the rest of the year and beyond.

A lot to do, better get to it.
Take care of yourselves,
