I'm good to go too. I'm fighting to complete Nanowrimo and have hit 35 K with characters I'm developing from last year. I started really late this year. It's actually been a completely different Nano year for me.
It's very challenging for me to work on a game like Shiva. I guess I take it a little too seriously, but I do tend to ruminate over the characters and maybe get more into them and their psyche than I do their external world.
One of the most important things for me is working on a deadline because I find it pushes me to pass limits I never thought were possible. I think there's a magic in that and even though a person might be churning it out at such a pace that they might have to stop and wonder about it and maybe even get sick at looking at what sometimes amounts to just scribbles, the effort and passion were there for the moment and sometimes that has to be good enough-- at least for the purpose of momentum. If nothing else, momentum might carry us.
I should mention here too, that whenever it is that we happen to start in December, I think that those of us involved so far have the mindset to work in earnest. It shows because of the planning that has already taken place and I know how much time Michael has spent with the game already.
Again, whatever we fail at, it's a lesson in learning.
The very act of participation in this kind of game engages us and promotes the kinds of calculations that spur us onto thinking from different angles as we dress in varying points of view.
All right, so "officially" I'll put up the thread next Monday. Should you wish to read it beforehand, that is up to you. We'll start in with the shredder and Mr. Critical on the 8th. I've read some good marks on this one, so be sure and get out the magnifying glass if you have to. There's no such thing as a perfect script (that Italy section in the Godfather just dragged for me), so as good as it is, there's no doubt room for improvement.
And if you're working on Shiva at the same time, multi-taksing is a useful skill to have...
The script discussions here have a lot of flavor because we've got such a diversified group from all over the globe.
It's really good to see another wonderful mind participating. Happy to see you Tommy, (which, by the way is my father's name). His name was Thomas, but friends often called him Tommy. His presence I think has penetrated me and even though I miss him so much, I feel him around me.
So Tommy, thanks for helping me to get back to those times with dad-- even if it's only by virtue of a name you both hold in common.
Still, I take each morsel of coincidence as a great truth and I'll say like I force my characters to say: "Go figure!"
