Journal Entry I don't know why I do ambitious stuff like this, but last night I really wanted to draw some porn, so I drew some Colby x Swiss because it was really long since overdue. But as I was drawing them, I didn't just want to settle there, so now I'm working on a really sweet flash animation of the two of them.
It's nearly finished, at least for the main loop. I'm not sure if I want to invest the extra time in adding different paces or a climax or anything, or just go with the pretty standard endless loop sort of thing. I probably won't be doing extra poses because that means redrawing and reanimating, and I'm sorta only getting credit for one art piece with this, so I'd rather it didn't take too long.
I'll probably have it up in a few days when it's finished.
As for other news, I'm still stalled on Fleeting Friendship and debating whether or not I should even rewrite that part or not. The two people I've shown the original chapter to seem to agree that it goes somewhat out of character, so maybe I'm really better off reevaluating things entirely and going with a completely different route than I was planning. I actually thought of an idea in the back of my mind while I was writing the original that's a lot tamer and more inline with Colby's personality, so maybe I'll play around with thinking about that and seeing where it goes from there. Most importantly, I want the story to be good and believable rather than having readers doubt the characters and personalities I've worked so hard to maintain. It's important to me to get it right.
Anyhow, I did get a lot of writing done today on Starting in the Lab - Sinnoh. Just over 7,000 words, bringing me to about 12.4k for the month ― which, believe it or not, is more than I've written at this point than in any other month (although I need to keep up the pace to keep up with the previous months). Yeah, I fired that up, but I'm really pretty happy with the mix of characters in it. It's vaguely reminiscent of the Hoenn installment due to there being a character in it you really don't like, but other than that, it certainly stands on its own two feet and separates itself from the rest of the installments, which is always what I strive for.
I actually have the first chapter written, which worked out to be pretty short but also a really good spot to start a new chapter at, so I'm guessing that Sinnoh will be another 3 chapter story, although shorter in total length than Hoenn. Hmm, but that does entail me drawing some Chimchar before I can go ahead and post the first chapter. Maybe sometime heheh.
Also, I don't want to hold my breath, but... there's a chance that things may be looking up for me. It's going to be another very difficult struggle in the pursuit of love, but as some I don't even know said to me, I refuse to resign myself. I refuse to give up. Again, I'm not holding my breath, but I'll let you know if things improve... I'm actually holding onto hope again. I just know where that hope tends to lead, heheh.
Yep, I want to accomplish this month's goals, arrrrgh. If I do, it'll be half a year straight. Anyone keep their New Year's Resolutions for that long?

No, I'm kidding. Anywho, I'm glad you're keeping up with what you set for yourself mostly. A lot of people are uninspired most of the time and it's hard to keep barreling out seven-thousand words like you do. I used to be like that, way back when ;-; Words flowing onto my monitor like water, plots pluming into my mind like fire... You are so talented oAo; I'm envious.
Anyway, best of luck with your projects xD It can be a chore to re-write stuff, but in the end, it'll be worth it when you go back and say, "Dude, I came a long way. These characters are solid as a rock, and the plot is tight as a knot, like how I wanted it to be. I rock!" x3 ....I need a trade I don't suck at oAo;
Disregard that.
Looking forward to the next installment of fleeting friendship.
I agree with Charmer; it's pretty damn impressive how you manage to keep on writing... and writing... and writing...
The only other person I can think of that can pull such a thing off happens to be Jeeves - another amazing author.
I say don't go overboard, but put in enough to make it more than an endless loop. But that's just my wish.
