estepheiaMy creative writing workshop about characterization was a success, thank god. All participants made the appropriate noises afterwards, sounding pleased, so I guess it didn't suck too much - although next time I'll make a better lesson plan and I'll stick to it. :-)
Also, since so many people voiced their interest in an online workshop I have decided to create an LJ-community for that purpose - but not now. I'll do it once I've finished with my Moria-translation. Which will hopefully be at the end of this month. In that workshop we'll do a few exercises in character-building. I'm thinking mainstream rather than any particular fandom. I did a poll in my LJ about what's difficult to write, and quite a lot of people said they find it hard to create original characters that aren't Mary Sues. so hopefully the workshop will help with that.
Hubby and I are currently watching The Bourne Identity - not that sucky Matt Damon thing which even Franka Potente couldn't save from utter mediocrity, but the TV two-parter with Richard Chamberlaine. I was thrilled to find this thing on DVD. Let's hope Shogun comes out next. Funny, I don't like RC, but I do like some of the films he made. It's interesting to watch the old version because there's such a complicated plot and the film actually bothers with continuity. I'm a sucker for continuity. I hate the way modern movies ignore reason and just try to string up a handful of set-piece scenes.
*Sigh* Sleepy now. Will have to work on Who's Afraid tomorrow. Over and out.
