Typing & Reading & Editing

I feel like telling you about the various plot bunnies, so... here's a post just about them.

I'm editing old bunnies written by one of my other literary incarnations in order to try to keep my eyes "sharp" for the more recent things I wrote.

I've been reading things about the way to format a play, and I've been reading again a few plays I really like in order to see how things were done; I think I got all the stage directions and indications right now.

I'm going to let Paper Cranes simmer a little bit more now that it's properly formatted (I'll come back to it with fresh-er eyes in a few weeks).

I've been working on my second play, as well. Since the topic's very, very close to me, it's coming rather nicely. It won't be as long as my first one (I am the proud owner of a 106-page play), but it should be somewhat interesting.

Working on my plays, I found a topic that interests me. If I finally dive into it, I'll have to do some research because Hadrian and Antinous would be the main characters of this story. It's tempting and frightening at the same time.

I also have ideas for two other couple-related short stories (both would be tragedies this time, and I guess it's time to be courageous and tackle "no happy ending" plots).

I'm still working on the background for my Sci-Fi PI short stories. Most of the characters, the worlds, the philosophies are taking shape, but there's still one alien character who's playing hide and seek (there's got to be something that I must come up with about her that I haven't spotted yet).

And back to my keyboard............................
