Miri: "Kara" phonetically can mean "empty," and it doesn't quite have the same romantic connotations as it does in English.

"Roku" means "six," and it's what I think of first when I hear it. It can also mean "decent," in a "I guess it's decent" sort of way.

"Umimi" isn't a pre-existing word but I'm afraid I can't say it sounds like a name. ^^; Sorry...I'm annoyingly hard to please when it comes to Japanese names.

*cheekrubs her Ensign Padawan* I missed you~ X3

I actually watched Star Wars III today, and I'm in a semi-SWIII kick. x'D
I wish I could draw. I had an idea for a jedi-type picture earlier.

I have two files, the actual file and the notes file.

In the notes file, I write a chapter-by-chapter description of what's going on. Sometime's its a full-detailed description with dialouge, other times it's a quick blurb. It all depends on how much I've thought up so far. It's sloppy and badly written, but it's organized. As soon as I think up a new idea, I quickly type it up in it's spot so I don't forget it. As I get new ideas for specific things, I edit thoes parts to add in the detail.

An example from my notes file:

Quote:
Tidus and Wakka hit the ball around, practicing their moves on the beach. Wakka throws the ball and Tidus winds up for an amazing hit (Jecht Shot?), when Sora grabs the ball from mid-air and starts examining it. Tidus and Wakka yell at him (“What is wrong with you, mon! We’re playing a game here!”). Sora accidentally slips part of what he’s doing, but catches himself and doesn’t finish explaining. Tidus and Wakka mock him for playing make-believe, and Sora says “Like you two know anything about adventuring!” He tosses the ball back to them and walks away, ending up running into Riku. Riku asks him if the thought of leaving again is making him go nuts, and Sora explains properly that he’s looking for the special object that will unlock the gate of the world. Riku isn’t convinced that Wakka’s ball is that special, and Sora agrees that it would be something really important. Riku grabs a Paopu fruit out of the nearby tree and passes it to Sora, suggesting that it could be the special object. Sora gets mad and goes to throw the fruit away, but suddenly goes “wait, yeah!” and stares at it. When Kairi suddenly walks up and asks what’s going on, Sora yelps and quickly tosses the thing into the ocean. After recovering from embarrassment, Sora asks Kairi to see her lucky charm for a minute. He holds it in his hand, and all three of them stare at it. Finally, Kairi interrupts the silence to ask Sora and Riku WHY they’re staring at it. They laugh nervously, realizing that they haven’t explained it to her yet. “A short explanation later,” The trio decides to get to work looking for the item, because King Mickey is waiting.


The actual STORY file is very, very properly formatted, with a professional-looking table of contents, dividers between scenes, page numbers, the works. It's a mess as far as the story goes, though. I write down all of the dialog for a specifc scene first, and then fill in the actions later. It takes me forever to go over every single sentance, tweaking it for hours to make sure the words flow properlly. I'm rarely ever satisfied. Many scenes and chapters are completely finished, while others are only have written. I have certain chapters that only contain about five lines of dialouge from random parts of the chapter and nothing else yet. Almost all of my scenes stem from single quotes, actions, or situations that I create the rest of the scene around. It seems to work, but It leaves me with 28 chapters full of disconnected paragraphs, but only 2 of them complete.

I talk too much about writing and don't write enough properly! augh!

Ooh! I'm happy! I discovered my thing about why I can't draw.

Because of the faces! I start a picture and draw the face. But I'm not good at drawing anime (or any) faces...so I get discouraged and stop drawing.

So to solve this, whenever I draw now, I trace a face from a How To Draw Manga book, and then draw the rest of the body on my own. xd

That's how I drew that picture of Jack I mentioned a few posts ago. 3nodding

I just...had trouble drawing his left foot...feet are so hard to draw. gonk Hands have nothing on them.
