Ska! How Do You Ink Your Traditional Drawings? And. Would You Mind Sharing Some Tips For Traditional?

Me, a fool: It would be cool if TOTK brought back old Zelda enemies!

Me, later: I take it back I take it back I take it back

Something about the hand shaped enemies in Zelda games give me the absolute heebie-jeebies. I hate them so much. They freak me out man, it’s legit bad for my heart!

So here’s an artistic interpretation of the first time I came across those damnable gloom floormasters in game. It was like every creepy hand enemy merged into one nightmarish abomination come to haunt me. Link almost met the goddesses that day…

See if you can spot all the references!

My favourite things about Scrivener

1. Navigation. You can see all your chapters, scenes, character & setting planning at one glance and switch between them very easily - compared to scrolling up and down in one long word processing document. Every file can also be a folder, so you can have collapsible items underneath it.

2. Word count targets. The “Project Targets” are particularly useful for NaNoWriMo so you don’t have to keep looking back at the website to see how you’re doing for the day, but more so outside of it, when you want to keep yourself working to a target but don’t have Nano’s charts and daily word counts. It also gives you a nice ding when you hit your session target.

3. How many pages? I only recently discovered this, but it’s very nice to be able to see in Project Statistics approximately how big your manuscript would be in pages without worrying about formatting. 

4. Outlining. Scrivener has two methods of outlining - one is Corkboard, which is exactly what it sounds like, a digital corkboard with notes pinned on it that represent your chapters/scenes with their summaries. The screenshot above is called ‘outliner’ and lists collapsible chapters/scenes with various statistics you can select as shown in the tick menu. Generally I prefer Corkboard, but Outliner is useful if you just want to see everything in a clear order. 

5. Full screen. I get distracted very easily when writing, so the full-screen writing mode is wonderful for me to avoid that - but you can still choose certain windows from the normal Scrivener view to show up. I have my targets and my summary, so I can stick to my plan when I’m writing and also see what progress I’m making.

6. Notes. No screenshot, but it’s a simple post-it note style box to the side of every document (chapter, scene, character etc.) that allows you to add notes. This may sound very simple, but it’s far more useful than I’d expected. During NaNoWriMo when I’m not meant to be editing at all, but I know something needs fixing, I will jot down something in the side like ‘Take out the horse’ so that when I go through again to edit I know exactly the things to focus on immediately but which would have taken too much time before. It’s linked to the scene so I don’t just have a pile of notes in one document at the end and then have to work out where it needs fixing.

Overall

I downloaded Scrivener for the first time two years ago, and now I can’t imagine working without it. It’s so nice to have the planning and the writing all combined into one place where I can easily switch between the two. I haven’t yet got as far in a novel created in Scrivener to use the compile features so I can’t comment on those, but so far all my experiences of it have been good.

One thing to note is that if transferring project between a Windows and a Mac version of Scrivener, it’s generally best to zip the file first.

[Screenshots from my current novel Kindling Ashes using the Mac version of Scrivener - some features may not be available in Windows yet.]

Hey friends!

Gen:lock Idea

Just an idea that won't go away until I write it down. Not the best but here it goes.

This is an AU where somehow before Weller could bring is idea to Holcroft and the Polity he got captured by the Union. And everyone being younger as well. When finding his Gen:lock work, the Union found it interesting and made sure to weaponize it.

Since Gen:lock relied on the neurons of a young body the Union made sure to include children in the recruitment list. Which lead him to find everybody (including Leon) easier.

- Chase and team would be the range of 10 to let teen. Not even at their 20's.

Then came the experimenting, this leading to Chase's and Leon's physical problems. But eventually leading up to the children being able to fight (excluding Cammie, she is still too young even by Union standard)

When the Union was planning to finally attack New York, Weller knew he needed to get everybody out of there. The was no doubt that the Union would put even greater pressure to get Gen:lock field ready no matter what happened at the battle in New York. And Weller could no longer see his kids be suffer for progress of what was once his dream turned nightmare.

He was finally able to contact the Polity, and basically held himself hostage when they only wanted to retrieve him alone. But he would never leave his kids.

The day before the Battle of New York, Polity soldiers waited outside of some of the exits of the research facility. Waiting for their objectives to arrive.

Dr. Weller prepares his kids to be separated. The talks to them about the Polity and reassuring that they will meet again, somewhere where it was safe.

The kids are split like so:

- Valentina, Kazu, and Cammie

- Yaz and Chase

- Weller, Leon, and Sinclair

Valentina and Kazu make an excuse to leave the building, while Cammie is screaming and crying about a nightmare, to calm Cammie.

Yaz and Chase sneak out from the sleep guards.

Weller and and the rest just says he needs to check something and bam everyone is out.

It's only when they are running across the field does the Union finally realize their attempt to escape. They give chase only to find three hovercraft getting air and flying away.

That's all I have so far, but my brain wants to finish but I can't and I am not a writer by any means but this just wouldn't get out of my head. But I feel better now.
