HCIF: Holy cow, it's Friday. The inexorable march of time continues.
This week, I've mostly been doing reviews. And meetings. Reviews and meetings, and a bit of writing. Reviews, meetings, a bit of writing, and some thinking. You don't want to do too much of the latter, because it gets in the way of the middle bit - the writing - which is what usually suffers when I'm with the Busy. In order to do Proper Writing, which differs from regular writing mostly by virtue of being
good, I need focus, I need time, and I need quiet; three things that aren't so easy to come by anymore - not individually, and certainly not together. The best time to write, then, is before ten and after six, when the office is quiter than usual. Weekends are also good, which is why I've brought a lot of documents home with me this weekend to tinker with: everything from the game bible to location designs for upcoming scenes. Quite soon, we'll get cracking with the bulk of the dialogue, and that should be fun. Time-consuming, but fun. And since it's the summer and most people will be away for big chunks of July, I should finally be able to find that focus, time, and quiet again.
