Mission: Accountability Report

OK, so I completely forgot to post my goals for last week.

But it doesn't matter, as I didn't do anything (for detailed *g* info see here)

And now I'm rather afraid what my punishment will be, not least because I know what creative minds will think up the punishment.

And, Jen had to go and make this comment

But Nina...Nina...Nina.... *rubs her hands together*

Oh man, must think of a really good punishment for you. (g)

What do you think, am I doomed? :)

Mission: Accountability Report

1. developing the characters - check
2. developing/outlining the relationship between Anna and Salkin - check
3. reading a Science Fiction book, to get into the mood a bit more - check

Why you should be buying books

The first reason you can find here.

The second here. Yai Carol!

I've already bought Carol's book (about 10 seconds ago *g*) and I'll be on a book shopping spree on Saturday (although I have to admit that I don't know how the situation is in Germany. But buying books can NEVER be wrong :) )

Mission: Accountability - 3 November 08

Goal for this week:

- developing the characters (thinking a bit about their backgrounds and such, as it will be needed and important for some scenes)
- developing/outlining the relationship between Anna and Salkin
- reading a Science Fiction book, to get into the mood a bit more

Mission: Accountability Report

1. Rewrite the crash scene - check
2. Finish reading book - read two others
3. Finish layouting - check

Looks like a good week and I don't have to fear punishment :)

Progress

I wanted to rework the crash scene this week, because it somehow didn't feel right to me.

I felt it needed more "action", things exploding, panic etc. This is a crash scene after all.

But now that I have read it several times and worked in a few adjustments, I don't feel the need for action anymore. This scene has been kind of quiet, Salkin is listening to what happens on the space ship, without being able to help Anna. Sure, he hears what is going on in the background, but being so far away and hearing Anna staying calm so far, gives him time to contemplate what he'd feel and do, were the roles reversed. And I think it should stay quiet.
He is in a kind of shock, not able to believe that this is really happening, that his superior sacrifices his best friend and colleagues.

Right now I feel this is the way to go. But maybe others will think differently. Maybe I'll post the scene over at Mission: Accountability and see what the others have to say...

Progress Report

I haven't yet worked on the scene. But I knew that I wouldn't throughout the week, so that is OK. I still have today.

I'm almost finished with the tidied up layout.

I haven't read the book I wanted to, but instead I have read two others in two days (The Next Thing On My List and Eclipse). That still counts I think.
