boldness

My job was to do a somewhat-detailed synopsis of the first one (it came out to about 4 pages long). And then, while doing a synopsis of each of the subsequent ones, I had to put all of the new stuff in bold.

I never did this before, but it's actually very effective. It's a good way to track how various drafts ebb and flow, because in bold the changes really pop out.

Good idea (and read the rest of teh entry).

I think I may do it with Shunted as I move towards refactoring it as a feature. Track all my previous drafts, all the changes, and find out where I've been heading... and use that as part of my future work to redevelop it.

FYI, my current feeling is I won't make the June deadline for the AFC. If they allow one to apply with a short feature and a strong plan to make it a feature, then I'll probably make it... but I'm not sure if thats a wise idea?

I'm also getting super itchy to make another short. Whether I apply for FTO funding for that remains to be seen. I'm trying work out if I have the energy to drive for something huge (which is why I'd get money) or go for something far more intimate. Its not like I don't have a huge backlog of semi developed whackiness on this blog that I can mine for material...
