Yeah your right. I still feel bad though.

I kind of want to kill my friend for getting me into this whole online dating thing. I got asked on 5 dates so far... I'm so nervous I keep pushing them back or saying i'm busy. Ironically the guys I would totally say yes too havent asked me. Well one did, and that was the lunch thing, although i'm busy this week at work...

Is it strange that I'm excited about plotting and writing TPCL on Scrivener?

ETA: I have Scrivener!!! Not sure whether to use a template or use a blank scriv.

Thalia · May 29, 2012

I... think I used a template.

Ally- Try to relax about it. You're 22 years old, and you've finally graduated from the class with the teacher from hell. Try to make this summer about you. Have fun, be selfish. You deserve it

lisalulu09 · May 29, 2012

I'm using blank.

Don't know where to start. Pictures? Folders? Mind cannot decide.

Lea Michele is going to be a model for one of my characters ... because I have a slight girl crush on her. <3

Thalia · May 29, 2012

I have an enormous girl crush on Rachel Berry. Like, I'm platonically completely and totally in love with her.

lisalulu09 · May 29, 2012

Lea Michele for me -- as herself. She's hot, okay? And she sings wonderfully. <3

CONFESSION: I AM A HUGE PERCEBETH SHIPPER.

Thalia · May 29, 2012

Nah, Rachel Berry for me. Lea Michele is great, but Rachel Berry is the character who, especially in Season 1, I love more than anything else on earth (along with Sansa Stark, The Vampire Diaries, and Cassie Ainsworth).

Seriously, I love her so.

lisalulu09 · May 29, 2012

I can't remember where pictures go when you import them in Scrivener...

Thalia · May 29, 2012

*shrug* I'm a Mac user, it's different for me.

Parametric · May 29, 2012

Pictures go into the Research folder.

lisalulu09 · May 29, 2012

OK, thanks. I shall make pretty folders in that then, and see if that works.

Thalia · May 29, 2012

What I thought!

Speaking of pictures: LOOK AT MY LOVELY CHARACTER CORKBOARD.

I see MAAH characters very vaguely, in a dreamlike way. I get very strong impressions of them... so I found animated characters as close as possible. These are not identical, just cool!

lisalulu09 · May 29, 2012

I prefer RL photos.

I wish I could make subfolders within folders in the research section. This will be useful for Locations and Fashion.

Thalia · May 29, 2012

I'm generally not a fan of RL photos. I like hand-drawn work much better than photos, always. It's just... prettier, to me. And more room for interpretation! Plus, I don't want to make my character look like someone else. They look like themselves.

ETA: There are exceptions, though!

But doncha think the corkboard there is puuuuuuurty~?

lisalulu09 · May 29, 2012

It is. But I want to change the background. I know there's a way of doing it, but I can't remember.

Parametric · May 29, 2012

Pretty sure you can create as many folders and subfolders within the Research folder as you like.

lisalulu09 · May 29, 2012

Done it! It was just being a bit temperamental.

I love folders. :3

Taylor_Writes · May 29, 2012

That is sort of how I pictured Corwin.

But not so much for Emil...

Channy · May 29, 2012

Man alive, I got Scriv a few days ago. LIFE saver. I imported all my shiz from my word docs and love it. Some things, such as entire pages for locations and sub characters are needed, but for MCs it's been hugely developmental for my plot and outlining. It's a lot easier to keep track of everybody tab by tab instead of scrolling all over the place.

Thalia · May 29, 2012

No, that would be how Emil's evil twin looked. Emil is much more:

But that's him at age 7... now, his hair is different.

Missus Akasha · May 29, 2012

God, now I want to watch some anime! Oo, Wolf & Spice or Black Blood Brothers.

lisalulu09 · May 30, 2012

Hi, guys.

Thalia · May 30, 2012

lisalulu09 · May 30, 2012

SCRIVENER IS WONDERFUL.

I may still use pen/paper methods for some plotting, but on the whole, I will transfer to this.

I can't find pictures, though.
