yuuagoI am soooo tired, but it's all my fault. That's all right. I don't think I have school tomorrow.
I think I might do some sketches tonight, to go with last night's fic. But I'm not sure. Part of the issue is I'm going to need photographic reference for what I want to do, and I can't bring my laptop to the coffee shop. Ehhhh. I'll figure something out.
... Wait. Gods, I'm dumb. Some of my textbooks have photos in them. *facepalm* La, I'm stupid.
Speaking of textbooks, I need to pick up mine today. Ugh. I don't fancy waiting in the book store line, but, them's the breaks. And I also need to go to Turning the Tide to get this semester's novels for Aboriginal Lit. Sigh.
So. Tonight. Textbooks, sketches (maybe), also need to read more of Sense and Sensibility, annnnd I want to do more work on editing the fic.
There are some things with that thing, that I'm finding more difficult than I'd first thought. Mostly, it's deciding how to present... What I mean to say is, I can't decide if I want to differentiate between the people and the nation, or not. On the one hand, nations aren't "bad" in and of themselves (or in this case, ignorant). It's people who are ignorant. Then again, nations are created things, they're ideas, and they're only made up of what the people think.
And I've seen both ways of showing it. Nation as complete embodiment/representation, and nation as a thing somehow separate from the people themselves. I haven't read enough to be sure which illustration is more common.
Bah, humbug. Well, I just need to decide. Doesn't mean I have to stick with the same illustration for other fics if I write any (though I do like to be consistent, most of the time), so whatever. I'll probably stay with the way I've already written it, because in this particular case it wouldn't be as good if I used the alternative, and indeed it probably wouldn't be as coherent if I used the alternative, either.
It's just hard. *flop* Especially because, I want to portray my country in a positive light, but with this issue so much bad stuff has gone down that it's... difficult to do so.
[edit]
Goddamnit. I have the song from the Russ-K commercial stuck in my head. D: Oh, well. I could watch it and its parodies over... and over... and over...
I want to learn how to dance like that. Ahaha. xD
