So here I am, back at the computer figuring out what the hell to do now. Another week of no wages, jeez can it get any worse? Yeah, hell could freeze over, or there could be a tsunami in Annan and my house would be underwater, the only comforting thing would be at least I wouldnt need to bother cutting the grass - the downside would be the ferrets would need aqua lungs!!!
So yes, I'm as I state back in front of the computer listening to Air Guitar II quite loudly to feel the full effect of the beat vibrating up through the chair and rattling the glasses on the bedside cabinet.
I've a mind to sort up a new screenplay, just a one off drama again. I can see the scenes so clearly in my head and the music playing in the background is helping set the mood. I have three characters who feature heavily in the whole plot, plus the antagonist who is a devilishly nasty piece of work. A pure genius in fact that needs to be stopped, but the man to stop him is in prison for allegedly creating the first disaster to befall the country. He's another genius, he is autistic to some degree but the government needs him to stop this mastermind before London falls to the bombers and the city barriers flood the city. Along those lines. I'm still working on the plot line. I have the idea of using something so basic yet brilliant but not going to mention it on the blog for fear of someone taking my ideas.
I wrote a lot of Doctor Who stories and other sci fi stories and whenever I'd written it and saved it, I'd turn on the telly that I rarely watch these days to find that Russell T Davies was using the same idea for Doctor Who. Damn I thought, then I considered the possibilities of both owning such great minds with such talents as these.
I should be out there sorting out my lack of wages for a second week. But where I work has a lack of communication with its staff and no matter how loud I shout, nobody seems willing to listen, so why bother? I've been in touch with the wages dept, they're sorting it out for me without me returning to work. I was off ill today, darn tablets working against me again.
Today I've been profiling my characters in my new sci fi story which when I've raised the £700 will be getting published. In my bank £9, a way to go yet!!!!
It's quite good fun as you discover new things about your characters you never thought about when you began writing about them initially. Suddenly they begin to take on a more 3D appeal, and now I know more about one particular character, having opened up her profile to read like a well constructed family tree.
My OU stuff came yesterday and I can see so many things I never considered in my story, hence the reason to profile my characters more than I did initially. One character I know so well that he is 3D, but the others need to be as well known as my best friend, my sister and my parents, because if I know all about them......
