Someone at uni had an iPad 2 and she showed us the picture books you can get on there. While I don't like all the e-book business and whatnot, I have to admit it was pretty cool, especially the Alice in Wonderland one. As for you actually buying it, you know you want to. If you want a cheaper alternative, you could just get a netbook which would be better on your lap than a laptop. It's nice to spend money on yourself and it will last a while so totally worth how expensive it is.
Gigi, I love your avatar! I love the Maurader's Map!! "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." God I love Harry Potter....except I have to wait for a while to see Deathly Hallows 2, my money is very tight right now. In the book, it was so shocking and upsetting when......well, you know.....died. How's things going, guys?
^I'm doing very good I just got out of work and contemplating on getting to my story. But....I may just procrastinate for a bit. Update my profile page Anyone else?
^I do want to get it....But I'm now looking at a Wacom tablet. Maybe I should get that instead?? urgh It's not another computer, I know. But it'll let me do a lot of things I can't do with my regular laptop.
Can anyone explain to me why Ackbar's "It's a trap!" line is so popular? Is it because of the obviousness of the line (He's figured it out a bit too late as we already know they're flying into a trap thanks to Emperor Palpatine telling us in an earlier scene?)
Ew. I can relate. Link, no clue....hasn't the line "it's a trap" just kind of become pop culture now? I mean it's something everyone says, without quite knowing where it came from.
It's from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Admiral Ackbar says it. And yes, it's transferred into the depths of popular culture. And I think the obviousness is the point. It applies to something that is clearly not right.
Okay, I've been procrastinating for days on end. I haven't even begun my story. So right now I'm setting my word count back to zero because I know what I did write was crap, and I'm going to finally stop messing around and letting myself not write because I want it to be perfect. It's me and the screen. And I'm sooo gonna win against it. Any cheers to head me off?
You know what I always do when I read over something and realize it's crap? Do the rewrite paragraph by paragraph, rather than from scratch. Below the first paragraph, start a new indent, and set the color to something else. Then write the content of that paragraph the way you think it should be written. Do the next one after that, etc. After you've done a few, delete the bad ones, and you'll be left with what you want. Keep doing it, and your scene is revised. Much more efficient, and also more empowering because you have something to work with, not just Great Blank Word Doc syndrome. Good luckkkk!
Well...this is a bit embarrassing, but... After watching some Dragon Ball Z on Youtube, I've been stricken with an old inspiration to revive my idea of flying ninjas w/ katanas and modify it a bit to make a bit more sense than it used to. It's cheesy, campy, and riddled with cliches, but I think it'd be fine. I mean, the stories about the ninjas aren't meant to be taken seriously. Still, I feel a tad embarrass now that I brought it up...
Don't be embarrassed. It sounds fun. I've been writing my novel nonstop for more than 4 hours. I've done over 2,500 words. I've also got that on-a-high feeling, like when you've burned 1,000 calories at the gym and are still chugging at it. oh my God. I'm so excited. I'm FINALLY getting to some really exciting breakthroughs, and I've written two transition scenes that had been stuck in limbo, and about to take on the third.
Here's a little something I did in photoshop today. Nothing fancy. But I did take the picture though Like?
