How has 2013 fared from a writing perspective?  
This: http://ladybows-fs.livejournal.com/155628.html

How do I compare to this? How do I even scrap up anything to say was even half as wonderful or prolific as last year? I look at this now with my jaw dropped because I was fucking superwoman. A divine fire was under my ass.

I mean HO-ly SHIITTT.

There's only a couple of things I did this year, but I need to not be negative about it.

1. I put CP4 into real script format and revised it a lot, even though I didn't finish it. I spent some time thinking about how it needs to be shaped up, rearranged, charged with all the things I learned in script class.

2. I finished He's There. August 2007 - December 2013. Bada-bing, bada-boom. This wasn't just something that I topped off. After putting together the entire manuscript, I realized that this year I wrote 100 of the total 380 pages. There was a lot that needed to be done, and so much that had been churning over and over in my head and needing to be changed. Everything got so much more complicated as it went on that the last hundred pages were nearly as much work as the first 280.





Using these and future art to come, I'll build a website that works towards presenting it as a publication and a future film (hopefully.)

That's all I can say.

I could be disappointed, but He's There holds a lot of weight in my creative life. It could be my way in; it could be a financial success. People tell me it can be something. Some of the other things I wanted to do I will love to do when I get around to them, but they might not help me quit this job at a pizzeria, you know?

So what do I want to do in 2014?
```````````````````````````````````````

Revise it all and seek an agent. First priority. It can't wait any longer. I've already started rereading and making notes. I want revisions, a website, and at least a prospective agent by December 31st 2014.

Write a new AIW fanfiction - like, really. Why didn't I do it last year?

Do script frenzy and win it. Do it for Nosferatu in Love and love every minute of it.

Make progress with my Orlok costume. Commission my coat, sew my hat, and get the nails and teeth. Figure out that confusing sculpt that needs to go under the baldcap. I'm sick of having a mediocre costume that I can only use on webcam! I want to make better videos with him in preparation for playing him in my own script, and that starts with an HD-friendly costume.



It's four things, but they're huge. I wish myself good luck.
