mtv's the only thing on
10/4/06 17:21Ahhh. Writers up at Hatrack River are pretty strongly against first person present tense. I was getting a feel for it. I could picture writing it, and I think it might have worked. I may try it anyway, and then decide whether it works or I need to change it, since ultimately I'm the one who has to decide. I love third person, but first would eliminate tons of pronoun confusion -- the downside to having mostly male characters. I may never understand how male characters became so natural to me that female characters are more of an afterthought. I used to make female leads. Little Mary Sues, haha. But then the 'bad guy' became the lead character and the females became males... for the most part. It's not like I don't have any female leads. But the main characters are male but for (I think) two instances.
I totally got off topic. Present tense. Present tense just appeals to me right now. I'm really not entirely certain why, just like I'm not certain why males work as characters for me. Maybe it's the immediacy. And then there was the Holly Lisle thing I read about reliable narrators; when do they stop to tell the story? Are they telling it from the end? I suppose the answer to why they keep details back is because they're telling the story as they remember it happening to them, but I don't know, for real. Whatever.
I was thinking about KH2, about Roxas' keyblades... ( well, I dunno if this constitutes a spoiler... )
Yeah, I'm watching MTV because there wasn't anything else on at 5 and I haven't checked again yet. Oh well.
I tried to find Sanctuary online because I want to add it to my music folder. ;_; no luck. I have Simple and Clean... both versions, opening and closing. I've had it for years. So naturally I need to get Sanctuary to complete the set ;] I should probably get Hikari and Passion too, but I won't go kill myself if I don't have those. Haha.
Um. Yes. That's it.
