Doesn't look like I'm going to make the Monday "deadline", but hopefully finishing the conversion isn't going to take that much longer. sweatdrop

I'm finding an additional hangup I'm having now {on top of all the rearranging and tweaking I'm having to do} is a problem of TOO MANY details. emotion_facepalm I had hardly any for quite a few chapters, then I started adding in more as I noticed the lack, but the problem is... I hate getting stuck in descriptions. As I've told others before, I don't really want to write a "book" that I wouldn't want to read, and when an author spends ungodly amounts of time describing things rather than just getting the ******** on with the plot, it annoys the hell out of me, so writing this chapter is starting to annoy me. stare I'll probably go back and cut a lot of things during editing after I finish converting. There are a few things that I definitely want in there for scene establishment, but including it all and trying to put in my own descriptions to mold the scene how I "see" it has just become tedious.

I need to find a balance of enough description to get the point across without feeling like there's more scene description than actual content. Too much description gives me flashbacks to when Oscar Wilde spent an entire chapter... AN ENTIRE ******** CHAPTER... just going on and on about the expensive s**t in Dorian Gray's house. ******** your expensive tapestries or whatever the ******** you're on about stressed Just get to the plot already, goddammit! scream *flips a table*

In a way, I think that was really part of the appeal of Lewis Carroll's book for me. He practically didn't have any description at all. Just content and narration.

And now I'm distracted by the Halloween event emotion_facepalm Damn event is actually somewhat amusing.  

[Psyzapp]

I warned you! I all out told you when I got involved it would be more complicated. talk2hand It’s my nature after all. wink  

[ThisEmptySoul]

Of course. Nothing can ever be simple with you. I should give you a smaller role next time rofl  

[Psyzapp]

I think you like the challenge.

I know... I rarely go near Tacoma, base traffic + Tacoma traffic makes me grrrr. Then again, West side Oly irks the whatsit outta me too. sweatdrop Lead, follow or get outta the way, got things to see and ppl to do... umm.... lol

One of these days I may make it to the Oly con, the crowd shouldn’t be so big that my ppl-claustrophobia kicks in. gonk  

[Lia_Trovaras]

For real. The only time I go anywhere near Tacoma is when I take the long route to Kitsap County where some of my friends are in Silverdale/Bremerton. Otherwise I've only been to Olympia once for hanging at a friends place (which I should do again soon it was nice there).

Thank gawd I'm caught up! gonk Now I have to do some research on White Queens and Wonderland. Can't remember the last time I watched -anything- Wonderland so I'm severely out of touch with any type of plot. Any suggestions?

Oh and does anyone happen to know anyone wanting to sell Prima Donna del Canevale? Also, a little help with how to maneuver avi builder? sweatdrop  

[Hauk Ulfr]

Sadly neither of the girls have that item otherwise we'd happily just give it to ya.Not like gold really even matters anymore with the ricockulous influx here.  

[Kits Rose]

Sorry, I don't have it either. All I have to say about avi builder is that it's a royal pain. The only way I've been able to find anything is if I already know the name, or use a general description and sort through pages of stuff. cat_stare  

[Icy Reign]

Thanks guys heart Yes, avi builder is definitely a pain in the a** stressed Definitely makes me miss the "illegal" one crying  

[ThisEmptySoul]

k, think I'm done chasing p***y for the Halloween event now ninja Back to work on the conversion tomorrow I guess sweatdrop {... or rather, technically today..} So much for being back on schedule emotion_facepalm

My suggestion: don't worry about it. You just do you. This is our own version of things and the Queen of Spades doesn't exist in any iteration I've come across, so there's nothing out there for you to study and research to "play it correctly" since there is no "correct" way to play a character that was created just for our Wonderland.

I don't have that item, either.
