Namely, it makes it very difficult to update when you can’t remember your own password to your own site! Sigh… Usually I create my passwords based on a very simple, easy to remember formula but apparently this time I did something weird. And since I’ve changed browsers the remember function wasn’t and I had to reset the password. Of course, then I had to log into the webmail to retrieve the new password. Can you guess what happened? Yeah, apparently I forgot that password, too. But! Obviously I fixed it all because here I am (helps to not have forgotten the webpanel password that lets one reset webmail passwords!) and now I can get on with the actual update.

Doing break-outs on the plane was an absolutely inspired idea! I  haven’t had much time to stop and look at them since I got back (a month ago! where did the time go?!?) but I believe I got through page 50-something, planning wise. Very cool, very cool indeed. Of course, this is just scribbles on a single-spaced rough draft of a manuscript. But soon… soon….

New plan! ScriptFrenzy! is officially allowing both adaptations and comic book/graphic novel scripts as part of year 2. Of course, they moved it to April from June, but that’s okay, I’ll manage. Anyway! Because of the revamps guidelines and the fact that no actual script for Wedding Tarot has been written yet, I think it safely falls into the ‘okay’ area and so I’ll spend next month converting what I can of the story into the script.

But that’s not all! (Wow, I’m really going overboard with the exclamation points, aren’t I?) This year I learned about a little something called Small Press Idol. While I briefly considered killing myself slowly by trying to enter the companion project to Random Acts…  this year, it occured to me that that would be, in fact, unwise. Instead, I’m sort of playing along (the ‘home game’ so to speak) and working through the required steps based on the rules and the feedback from the judges on the people actually brave enough to enter so that by this time NEXT YEAR I can debut art for Wedding Tarot as part of Small Press Idol ‘09 and, perhaps, use that as a publishing venue. Of course, that does limit what I can show here, art-wise, before the competition but I don’t think it’ll be a problem. This year’s goal, after all, was to get the script written. If I want to start on the art, I’ve got 72 cards that need designing!

Of course, if I get that far ahead (it’s March, folks, and while I know its still early in the year, I know my schedule, too). I may choose not to wait for SPIdol and just go ahead and start designing for web-release or self-publishing. It’s up in the air. But it still exists as a possibility until I decide otherwise. Got it?
