Something Happy
Apr. 7th, 2008 05:06 pmFrom the four-shot Martian Manhunter series published in '88, which was weird because it was written by DeMatteis but it was a dark plot I mostly didn't care for. Except for the great moments when J'onn goes to Batman when he needs a friend, and Batman is happy he did.
The last pages were my favourite part, and answers a question most people wouldn't really ask; how do Martians dance?
( I dance with the past... )
That makes me smile.
A lot of the stuff that's been keeping me busy more or less have begun resolving themselves, one way or the other and my dial-up internet has decided it'll stop being completely retarded and settle for just slow as hell. I guess I can live with that; I guess I'll have to, right? Yesterday I downloaded a 14MB file in only an hour and cheered.
This morning I went back into my Writing folder and began actually doing stuff in there, at the same time playing with a new toy; Jer's Novel Writer, a Mac program that works like yWriter (which I've also tried, some time ago); a word processor designed for working on long fiction projects. It's got all sorts of nifty features for keeping track of stuff, margin notes, outlines, a built-in character/place/whatever database and such. Those of you who write longer pieces might want to check out working with that kind of software, it's looking to be all kinds of useful so far.
