when this is through
A. In the entry about my birthday memories, I completely forgot that I watched the Halo 5 cutscenes, and Cortana made me cry, damnit.
B. If you are wondering about influences for the abominations story (probably not, amirite?) - it started off with Pacific Rim, but from the perspective I'd thought the film was going to be from*. Which is why it's called the abominations story anyway. Then something made me check out the Halo story, and we took a violent swerve down from that (in that holy moly, I don't think I've ever been so influenced by something in my life? I wrote a heck of a lot of background detail over the course of about a week after reading up on games).
B2. I also think this story is going to end up somewhere different than I originally intended it. Although it's already done that once, so I guess I shouldn't be so surprised at this point in time?
C. Writing blogs are great and everything, but I now find that I more often than not get bogged down in having to plan everything out, and follow writing advice slavishly to the point that it paralyses me from writing.
D. I've planned out this whole sci-fi story now, and that's great, except that because I've world-built (which I don't normally do), I'm now bored, and that's stopping me from writing the story. Also what's stopping me is that it's going to rely on a lot of action, and I am rubbish at writing that and need to get better.
D2. I need to shut that little voice up in my head that tells me science doesn't work that way, because some of my favourite sci-fi stories are extremely unscientific and don't explain anything. And I like it that way.
D3. I might either try noodling with an AU of this universe (I have one I'm particularly struck by), or just writing some random shit set in this universe and seeing what happens. Because WHY NOT. I might not end up with the story I wanted, but at least I will have written something.
E. I really like the Deus Ex: Human Revolution soundtrack.

*i.e. that humans were invading an alien planet and the aliens were understandably pissed off about this. Because that's how the trailers I saw made it look.
