outline junk and unprogress in dollLand ~
i'm tired of being poor at the moment. this morning i couldn't find my pencil. the thought of going out to buy a new one gave me angina (what kind of writer only has one good pencil anyway?).
i still can't find my pencil. but i've decided to do something else that doesn't require one.
: o p
i'm too disorganized. so i'm going to go back to outlining.
i'm going to try something a wee different this time. i'm going to try working with card again. if i recall correctly, i used notecards to organize Exposition and i used them for at least of the drafts of FSM at some point along the road. i also used them for last year's NaNo, The Kidnapped Christ. i was sort of sloppy about how i used them, but nevertheless used them (and had i not, i would have never finished NaNo).
normally i just outline on paper and run with that. it's contained and appeals to my sense of heirarchy, not scattershot like cards tend to get. but considering the way my brain is working lately, scatter-shot sounds more the order of the day. so i'm going to set up paper outlines, then make cards based on them, and then throw them in a hat and just work on whatever comes to the top. if i can discipline myself to write at least one scene a day, i think i could maybe get something done.
i've got an outline for Figfield done. invariably these things always end up more complex than i think they will be. it took me all afternoon betweens naps to finish it. (yes, it's a hard life i lead). anyway, the next step is making up the cards. then i'd like to get to it.
i also have a sort of outline (the 10th at least) for The Company We Keep which i keep revising. i'm thinking of working on the two simultaneously, so i'm going to make cards for it as well to keep that rolling forward.
The View from the Back Porch and The Hot Spot are officially on the backburner until i get these other two pieces sorta sketched in.
~ * ~
i don't normally make paper dolls of famous people/famous characters, etc, but i so started to make a V (from V for Vendetta) paper doll. i sketched the design for it and then managed to restrain myself from actually executing it. but i don't know how long i can hold off (prolly until i find my pencil ~ hahahahaha). i would have scanned the prototype to share, but that sounds like work. hahahaha ~
who knew i could be such a fan girl?
but as they say:
one man's terrorist
is another man's freedom fighter.
something to think about.

southern guerillas were terrorists too. were they without honor? some were for certain. just like some of those rebels, just like some islamists. but to say that "terrorists have no morals" is really reducing the problem in a way that's entirely too simplistic for me to swallow.
just because you disagree with a worldview or a political stance or because it appears to be in opposition to democratic freedom doesn't make it "immoral".
no subject
And I think it does make it "immoral" for murdering innocent people. Murder...life and death...is HARDLY a western ideal...it is a HUMAN ideal...and THAT is the problem with this debate...that's the ENTIRE thing wrong with this debate...this ENTIRE political mumbo jumbo is wrong because it ignores the basic dignity and truth of humanity. LIFE AND DEATH. But I understand that you are introducing a western university learned concept theorized a few decades ago and expanded within our university system where there is no truth, and therefore there is no morality, there is no humanity, into the equation which ignores life and death in order to protect intellectualizing of the situation, trying to say that certain cultures are ignorant of the concepts of truth, but if one looks further they will find that they are well-aware of these concepts at the core of their being for they are instilled within us as human beings. There IS a right and wrong. And so if you judge this "world view" or "political stance" by what we know as HUMAN BEINGS to be right and wrong...you can certainly judge it as immoral.

well good, then you disagree with lot of american policy (or lack thereof). we're on the same page, then.
; )
and i have no idea what you're talking about western university, there is no truth, etc. on the contrary, i believe in absolute Truth. i also am saying the exact opposite of what you think i am saying as to ignorance. i think people driven to extreme measures are often a lot more worldly about weighing right and wrong than people who are complacent, spoiled, and sheltered.
i'm not saying terrorists are right. i'm saying they have their reaons and they are sometimes even legitimate ones.
as i said above. americans have been terrorists in the past. anyone can be a terrorist. when you get desperate enough for change, you'd be surprised at what you might do to achieve it.
