Odd, But Good, News.
Just here for a quickie.
I finally finished a chapter today, but don’t get too happy. >.> It’s a very short chapter for a story that wasn’t even on the list. WTH? Why have non-FA stories been biting at me? I figured I’d write it anyway. Any words are better than no words, ne? Hopefully this means that my 2.5 month slump is finally waning. I even wrote a bit of If I Want To, though I have been seriously considering dropping that story. I just haven’t wanted to touch it, but I got a whole scene written, so maybe it’s a sign.
FA month will probably start sometime in Nov. I want to have a few chapters ready to go before I kick off, just so I’m not rushing/struggling. And if things keep going this way, you’ll have extra stories you weren’t expecting. o.O
And in “Oh Wow” news, I got some surprise giftart. It’s posted at the gallery.
Also been checking out a lot of Asian horror movies. I have to say, their idea of horror and what we see in America are very different, but some of them have been pretty entertaining, if not puke worthy. lol. Ever heard of one called Three Extremes? It’s a trilogy of shorts -one by a Korean director, a Chinese director, and a Japanese director (which I think is a really cool thing).
Well, the Chinese offering is called “Dumplings” and it was turned into a longer feature of its own. I’ll just say this -it’s not for the faint at heart, as the subject matter is pretty gruesome (I saw both). Mind you, it’s no slasher flick by far. But the center of the story is disgusting and just inhuman. Yet, a part of me gives kudos to them for taking it there.
Oh, and Takahashi Miike is awesome. He’s the Japanese director in “Three Extremes” and he’s also the guy behind “Audition”, “Ichi The Killer”, and the TV-banned, Masters of Horror short, “Imprint” (Trust me, they banned it with good reason). I have every intention of seeing all his works. \o/
