How did it escape me?

See two posts ago for my grand ambitions. They sadly fell away for the most part. I have still been a bit productive this month but not anywhere near as productive as I wanted. I quit NaNoWriMo a while ago with a decent 11k words to my name. I'm working on the story in bits and phases here, but I am struggling trying to get some of the other characters to do anything of interest. I have the mad scientist down pat, since well fuck he's a goddamn mad scientist and is awesome fun to write, but he's not the main character. So until I get some of the rest of the cast's voices down I must wait on it. Most of my writings dealing with it are attempts to nail a voice and personality down, usually they end up tossed. It is a bit tiresome.

I have signed up for schooling, and apparently my shitty year of no income qualifies me for a huge amount of grants, at least compared to the community college fees. They projected 6k for me online, classes will take about a thousand at MOST even with books. We will see how well I do with computers when it comes to schooling. Kind of wish I had gotten a chance to apply to grad school, but no money means I can't take the test or do the application fee. If I hate computer classes I apply a month in with my fat grant monies.

I have been drawing. Which is odd. Because I don't draw, not anymore. I've settled on wanting to fuck around and post things online once I get a bit more consistant in drawing the same thing over and over again. It won't be the best of art, but it's the internet, tons of shitty pieces of art get put on it every day. It also saves my sanity when I can't nail a damn character for a story I have outlined out!

Hmm what else? Oh Zombie Conversational will premiere in March 2010. Or I will personally set fire to the scripts we have. This has been agreed upon by the co-creator and co-everything else in the project. I concede the next month because he works retail.

Also trying to work out the details for an anthology project. Still hammering things out, including a list of people to contact. I have found I like collaborating with people on projects but always worried about approaching others about trying something out.

Hmm all things considered November wasn't all THAT bad, not at the point I was aiming for, but still a decent point none the less.
