Well, my warm up weekend isn't going so well.

I've started my game and have the main locations mapped out including some awesome code for telescoping hallways thanks to the wonderful people at http://www.intfiction.org/forum/.

I have discovered something.  I don't like writing description. This is my failing when writing novels.  I'm great at ideas, ok at plot, meh at dialogue (*), and lousy at descriptions.  I think that's why I went into Ren'Py and Comics.

I will carry on.

Maybe I can team up with someone you likes writing purple prose. Between us we will be able to create a full story.

But that's not why I'm behind.  I'm behind because I started playing Visual Novels and Interactive Fiction instead of working. *DOH* It is now almost 4 a.m. ...

(I also procrastinated by cleaning the bedroom.  You know it's bad when you procrastinate by cleaning.)

Tomorrow I have some backgrounds to do for LemmaTV http://www.lemmatv.com/

(*) Strangely enough, as soon as I introduce a talking cat into my story -- I have no problem creating dialogue for him.

  1. Writing description is tough for me too. Actually, writing period, is tough.

    Hmmm, maybe your former incarnation was a cat? :)

    Play any good IF games so far?
