Story Project

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 29, 2008, 7:33 PM
Ok, might as well toss up another update on my life. The semester is almost over, and that means I've got less free time than usual, followed by more free time than usual.

This is good, because I've got some crazy story project in the works. It all started during spring break. I decided I'd maybe set up an RP that would be doomed to failure due to being all science fiction/military stuff. It somehow mutated into a story-writing project of some sort of another. I've been spending a lot of time figuring out characters, setting, and the like, but probably won't get too much writing done until the summer holiday for various reasons related to school. Such as papers that must be graded.

Basic information:
The story, tentatively titled "Dive into the Sky," is sort of inspired by things like the Ace Combat series. So, it's got a lot of jets. The actual premise also involves cute girls, because of various influences. Oddly enough, it's vaguely justified by the setting. The actual plot, such as it is, will focus on a squadron testing new aircraft and technology, and the various things that happen to them.

I'm planning to publish this thing as a bunch of illustrated stories (a chapter at a time, if you will). Other ideas such as comics have been bounced around, but this seems simplest. I'm also collaborating with a few friends on this, notably ~moon-child-reo, who has provided some of the stuff for the story itself and is currently outpacing me on producing random art for things.

As for art, I'm working mostly on character design sheets for the story characters at the moment. If I'll be drawing them repeatedly, I might as well have their looks down. Same with any common outfits (military uniforms, flightsuits, etc). Of course, I'm woefully slow at it. Must somehow force myself to draw faster.

Well ,to be perfectly honest, I have joined some clubs, but rarely, if ever, do anything beyond just getting myself on the member list and putting their pretty licttle icon in my journal..

I suppose I'm not what you could call active in the community aspects of DA. But, I'll give the place a look, at least.

No problem. I forget how I wandered over there, but it probably involved browsing the site for little reason at all 'cept to find stuff that caught my interest and to waste time.

Love
Think about this...
You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
*PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE POST IT'S SO DAMN TRUE*
1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. If not for you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique.
9. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.
13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. add this as a comment to ten of ur friends tonight and at midnight your true love will find you. Something good will happen to you at 2:25 tomorrow. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life.
