Find the Forgotten Places
Oh, Wednesday, you magnificent bastard.

Normally, when I read a book, I read it in one or two days, almost all at once. American Gods I read in short bursts for a week. Though the final bit I read all this morning. I almost kind of wish the con went through.

I am getting ready for <a href="http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/>Script Frenzy</a>, which I am very excited about. I don't like to write long passages of narration about the shape of the window sill on which a dead bug is resting. I find it difficult and frustrating. I'm an artist - I want to <i>show</i>. What I do like, however, is writing dialogue. You know how I won Nanowrimo finally? First person narration, figuring that somewhere, Felix was talking to us in a bar, even if he wasn't. It was just one long stream of dialogue. That's why I'm excited for Screnzy - I can just write pages upon pages of dialogue. And for the description, it can just be me talking to the Artist (somebody else or Future!Me) And as a bonus, I can finally tell the tale of the Fizzgizet Fighters. I am tired of winter. I feel like exploring. And I'm still not used to this whole "only six icons" thing.

I never read books all in one go anymore. I usually just read on the bus to school and before I go to bed (when I'm already kind of tired).

American Gods = Yes.

Long passages about irrelevant things is just. . . I don't know. They're not really my thing. It's like those really lame creative writing projects you had to do in elementary/junior high when your English teacher would make you write a full page, just describing what happens when you eat a chocolate bar (and it just ends up sounding really creepy)
