Script Frenzy 2011, that’s a wrap!

Yes ladies and gentleman, with mere hours to spare, I finished my first Script Frenzy!  It was fun.  I wasn’t stressed about it like I usually am with NaNoWriMo, which is changing and that upsets me some, but that is another story.  But yeah, done done and more done.  Anddd out of it I got 21 episodes written out.  So did I finish writing them all?  Yeah right.  LOLLL!!!  But it’s a dent and the story is quickly coming together for me.  I think working on the story brought it back to life for me and I think I’ll be able to knock out the rest fairly easy…if I sit my butt down and do it.  Then take the pictures, and then upload it and I’ll be done with that story and can move on to my next one.  Pretty cool.

Well now I am off to try to write out some scheduling for May.  Everything I planned to do in April didn’t happen because I had that “I’ll get to it” mentality and never did.  So next month is going to be planned.  I have a lot to prepare for.  If you want to keep up with any of that stuff feel free to hope on over to The Mouse Pad, that I’ve chosen to be more of a craft/lifestyle blog and just keep The House of Mouse my doll and toy related blog.  Oh speaking of dolls, I got two dolls yesterday that I want to show you guys.  They are Target exclusives and I wanted them both for characters in my new doll story I will be doing.  I got them now because they are exclusives, will be gone soon, and are so cool.  I’ll try to take a picture of them later.  I want to find a good light source so you can see an interesting comparison.  Ok, gonna go.  Hope you all have a wonderful last day of April.  Remember about your rabbits in the morning.  Bunny  Bye for now.  Smile

Script Frenzy update.

Still at it.  The story is flowing for me some now.  But I am having issues because I keep thinking of the next story I want to do when I am done with this one, and it makes it hard to stay on track with this one.  But it’s starting to flow some now.  So here is my update.
I’m getting there.  I still feel I’ll make it.  I’m determined.  I am going to work on another section before I go to bed and then really work on it tomorrow really hard.  I’d like to finish tomorrow if possible.  I am hoping to have the whole script finished by June, and then “film” everything by September and get it all uploaded by Halloween so I can focus on NaNoWriMo in November along with a special visitor hopefully.  Then on Black Friday I want to release a teaser for my new story that I plan to start on New Years day of next year.  Well see how closely I stick to this plan.  LOL!  Ok I’m off to work some more on the script.  Talk to you all soon.  Be good until then.  Bye for now.

I think I’ll finish my Script Frenzy script. Uh, say what?!?

Ok, so as if like wasn’t stressful enough, ok it truly isn’t, I’ve decided to try to finish up my Script Frenzy script that I abandoned on day 1 at 10 pages.  Ok, honestly I didn’t abandon it.  I set an alarm on my phone to remind of Script Frenzy, and it’s been going off every day at 5pm like clockwork.  And I’ve been hitting snooze every day like clockwork.  I wanted to work on it, just couldn’t motivate myself to do it for some reason like I do with Nano.  Well all of a sudden, with 5 days to go, I think to myself “I could win Script Frenzy still.  I could win it and get at least half my story…a forth of my story written up.  Yeah.  Yeah!!!  I’m gonna do it!!!”  And that brings up to now.  I just finished writing up episode 4, I’m at 18 pages.  Only 82 to go.  LOL!  So I’m planning some serious script writing days.  I really want to get back into my story and I think this is the best way to do it.  So here goes, my final attempt at Script Frenzy 2011!!!

There you have it.  There is my little Raisin Man, well he looks like a raisin to me, to let you know how I am doing.  Now granted this one is mostly used for NaNoWriMo, so it says novel and words instead of script and pages, but I love this meter and well just imagine it says script and pages for me, ok.  Pretty please with sugar on top?  Thankies.  Smile  So there you have it, I am 18 percent of the way there, and I have until Saturday at 11:59 pm to validate my 100 page script.  Can she do it?!?  I’m sure as hell gonna try!  LOL!  I’ll update you as the pages mount.  Stay tuned.  Winking smile

Mark Twain Porn

So I’m up late watching videos on YouTube when I come across a very interesting video by one of my favorite authors Jackson Pearce.  Seems a recent story she wrote, and is being looked at,  could be a little steamier in the love scenes.  And from that precious gem came this precious gem.  Enjoy.  Smile

What have I been up to lately?

Well, not much.  I’m kind of going through this weird nervous spell.  Last Saturday my city was hit hard by a tornado and my county, city, and state was just left in a state of turmoil.  So many people lost loved ones. One woman put her children in a closet to keep them safe and the tornado hit her house and killed her three boys and then her daughter died yesterday.  Stories are still coming in about how people lost so much and it skipped my area of town altogether.  All my friends were safe as well, and I just feel so bad for everyone hit.  I wish no one was hit by the tornado.  I wish that all those who lost their lives were still here with us.  I’ve got to get off that topic now.  It’s just so sad and then to think you were just a street away from it being you, well yeah it shocks you.  So let’s change topic, shall we?  Sweetness.  Smile
So my sister bought some doll heads for her Volks and Obitsu dolls and as a trade I volunteered to root some of her heads.  On is done as of today.  Going to start on the next one in the next couple of days.  I want to work on a Liv doll wig I started a couple of weeks ago.    But here are some pictures of the doll head I completed.

Sorry for the crap pictures.  My camera seems to be slowly dying a slow painful death.  But until I can get a new one I’ll have to make do.  So the colors here are like a neon orange and blue color mix.  Did you know orange and blue are complimentary colors?  My sister has originally started the rooting of this doll, but then the Volks body she was working with broke.  Well I have figured out how to fix it, so hopefully there will be a finished picture of this gal soon.
But that’s all I’ve been working on as of late.  I have been wanting to work on amigurumi patterns, but I can’t figure out how to make what I want to make.  I have an idea, but then I will have a problem when it comes to the eyes.  I might have to crochet them too since I don’t have safe eyes and I want to make my stuff kid safe from toddler on up.  But since I won’t be selling the actual items but the patterns then I guess I could just get some eyes for the pattern as a suggestion.  I’ll have to look into that.  I want to get some Suncatcher Eyes so badly.  I think a purchase from them is in my near future.  And I’m also thinking about making some sewn stuffed animal patterns as well.  I have some ideas in mind for special animals and items.  Stay tuned for that.  Smile
More posts to come about how I’ve been doing and what I’ve been doing.  I’ve had a non-busy/busy week.  I’ll explain in the next post.  Bye for now.  Smile

Slowly figuring things out.

So my blog has kind of gone through a judgmental stage.  I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep it.  I have this thing where I am trying to find the most comfortable blogging format for me.  I have several main interests: dolls, crafts, writing.  Then I have things in general I want to talk about: weight loss, health, make-up, fashion, celebs, trying to open my freaking shop, life in general.  I just don’t know how to work that all in.  I have decided to keep my The House of Mouse blog for dolls only since I like to get into discussion about dolls that the general public may not be much interested in.  So if you are interested in that feel free to visit that blog.  So that leaves this blog for everything else.  Just life in general, or my life already in progress.  So there.  I’m finally settled and this is how it’s going to stay.  Whew, glad I finally figured that out.  Now, on to life and blogging!  Smile

For the benefit of those with flash photography.

If any of you know what my title refers to then you know what the picture is for also.  For those of you who don’t know. these guys are Christian and Edge and back in the 90s they made an awesome tag team duo.  Well my brother loved them and once he got me into wrestling I loved them too.  Especially Edge.  Well Edge has had to retire due to injury and I’m glad it was found out before it was to late and I hope wherever life takes him on his new journey that he will be happy.
But this post isn’t about Edge, it’s about the title.  Edge was going down Memory Lane as he talked about his wrestling career and he mentioned the old tagline he and Christian used to say, title above.  My brother used to say that saying all the time and then do a silly pose.  Sometimes we’d play along and pretend to take pictures of him but most times we rolled our eyes and laughed as he continued to pose and encourage use to take pictures with our nonexistent cameras.  Ahh, the good old days.  LOL!  But as I thought about these fun old times I found myself crying.  Not big sobs but more like sniffles with tear duct leakage.  Even thought I had a big smile planted on my face the tears kept coming.  I guess I can’t help, I miss the guy, and it’s hard to believe I will never see him again.  I can’t imagine a person who was such a big part of my life and my friend is just gone like that and will never come back.  It’s been 12 years going on 13, and still I guess in my heart of hearts I hold on to a feeling that I’ll see him again.  Silly I know, but true.  But hey, you never know, I may see him again some day again, and when I do I will have my camera with me just in case he does give a pose for those of us with the benefit of flash photography.
