Schnerrff?

I did nothing today but cut itsy squares out of black construction paper and glue it onto bristol board.

I officially hate Art. I want to drop it, but it's too late. I just want to stop going, but I need the 3 credits.

Did laundry too. Etc, etc, other boring things.

Ooh! I saw the premiere of Threshold last night. It's very good. Very suspenseful, nicely written, decent characterization. The characters are relatively flat for now, but they've given them enough background tidbits that you can see things going somewhere. Plus the acting's good, and so is the storyline itself. It's like X-Files if Mulder and Scully were working for CSM.

Got quite a bit done for Mot last night too, but I'm not sure how much of it actually works. One of the scenes is a little...wonky. I dunno. But there was a big revelation as Naioh met Fell that went smoothly, but I'm not sure--it seems like an info dump. The main story and the main conflict has been revealed, but it seems like too much too quickly. Also I'm trying to work on getting the main story started quicker.

I love the relationship between E and Kail. I'm having fun complexifying it.

I just had an idea.

What if I were to start the story--I mean the whole of Mot--closer to the middle and deliver all this background stuff in flashbacks? Would that work?

Hm. It merits some thought, but I don't know. I'd end up writing most of it in past tense again...something I don't really want to do. I'm getting used to present tense, and I like it. Using flashbacks would serve to get things moving a lot faster though....Hm...
