Jul. 1st, 2016 10:20 amSo, here is a thing where I knew all the parts of it before but until tumblr found it for me I didn't put it together. Male ostriches are the ones we identify as ostriches, with the big bushy black and white feathers. Female ostriches are more brown, drab, and have less floof. No points for guessing what all of the ostrich ballet dancers in Fantasia look like, yes? Yes.
AND. AND. I found out you can use Scrivener to make your own Wikis. Apparently when you make a scrivener file you can highlight and turn a word into a link? And instead of it being a URL you can use it to link to a Scrivener doc. Note that I haven't actually tried this in Scrivener itself so this is still only at the theoretical stages but if it works? Holy wikis batman! I will Wiki ALL OF THE BLACK ICE. All of it. Because oh my god does it sprawl right now. Sprawl all over the place.
Speaking of sprawling I think I just need to get a map book of New York City that I can scribble over, because of reasons. Or something.
The hilarious part here is when I told my Uncle Elf Lord this and then about my alternate history, and we spent several long minutes discussing pocket cultures, strange history, places of divergence. My family is awesome.
Made a decent start on Camp Nano today, so hopefully that means I can get good and ahead of things early on. I keep having bouts of enthusiasm and energy for writing followed by periods of low attention span and getting distracted. Although not insecurity yet! I'm waiting for that to hit, oh, this time next week. And the twenty other projects I'm working on ahahahah. Although those have been making progress lately! I need to keep a weekly accounting somewhere. Right now that's on the words writing community thingie I'm a part of, but I might move that somewhere. Maybe? Bleegh. As you can tell, I'm in one of those low attention span lots of energy moods right now. Which I think means it's time to do something energetic but mindless. Like filing. (Filing is energetic because I do it standing up at a table.)
