Script Frenzy 2010– Week 1 Round Up

April 8th, 2010

Has it really been a week since Script Frenzy started? Well how about that?

Thanks to the Easter bomb wip­ing out 4 days, it hasn’t been the most pro­duc­tive week. Accord­ing to the Script Frenzy site I should be sit­ting on around 23 pages of glo­ri­ous sto­ry­telling. But the unfor­tu­nate real­ity is  I’ve only just passed page num­ber eight.

I still don’t have any idea of what the story beats will be (which could leave me with a  story that turns in on itself some some lit­er­ary oroborus) do I have a few thoughts on what’s dri­ving the moti­va­tion for trav­el­ling to other worlds.

I’ve been writ­ing the story in a lin­ear fash­ion, but I may switch this up in week two. Maybe I’ll try writ­ing down inter­est­ing ideas and flesh­ing them out over mul­ti­ple pages. Essen­tially writ­ing from the mid­dle out to see if this improves my page count. The story may not be all that coher­ent, but that’s for the edit­ing phase to fix up.

Script Frenzy 2010

April 1st, 2010

SF-Participant-night120x90April always seems to sneak up on me. One minute it’s Xmas, the next I’m right in the thick of it. “It” of course refer­ring to Script Frenzy, the 100 pages in 30 days chal­lenge. With two years of fail­ure behind me I’m hop­ing that the third time really is the charm.

To add value to you, my eight reg­u­lar read­ers, I’ll be post­ing a weekly roundup with my progress and notes about the sto­ry­line and where it’s headed.

Of course, being me I’ve left every­thing to the last minute and only done a mea­gre amount of plan­ning.  The one thing I did put some effort into was the “ele­va­tor pitch” I used over on the Script Frenzy forums:

A solider, tasked with map­ping Par­al­lel Earths, searches his own Earth for the girl he’s des­tined to spend the rest of his life with.

Sound inter­est­ing?

Google’s shortcoming

March 24th, 2010

Strange that these days you can still build a web­site that Google won’t or can’t index. I thought their spi­ders ran ram­pant through all of the internet’s var­i­ous­nooks, cran­nies and crevices.

But, it seems they’re still using PageR­ank, or a vari­a­tion of it. The only way that Google knows a site exists is if you link to it enough times.

Happiness is…
