  She attended the London premiere in a wine-coloured McQ dress, and opted for an electric blue Stella McCartney number in LA. Both suit her incredibly, so we can’t wait to see what the future holds for Miss Moretz. And impressing at a premiere for The Hunger Games in Madrid, Jennifer Lawrence looked sweet in a Victoria, Victoria Beckham design.Others to impress include Zoe Saldana and Kate Bosworth. Both coach purses outlet look sultry in black: Zoe wore a Marios Schwab design and Kate went for Prabal Gurung at the Vanity Fair post-Oscars party this year. Dita Von Teese looked oh-so-glamorous at coach factory outlet online Elton John’s Oscar party in a sequin and off-white Jenny Packham creation.Looking on the bright side of life, we love Agyness coach outlet online Deyn in her friend Henry Holland’s design and Eva Mendes was recently spotted in a red, floral Jonathan Saunders long-sleeved dress. Sporting the covetable colour orange is Lana Del Rey who looks gorge in a simple Mulberry creation that we just adore.

The face of the Armani label for the past two seasons, Rihanna’s new range for Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear has been revealed. Oozing her own androgyny but with a hint of Rihanna sex appeal, the collection consists of four tees, a leather jacket, three denim pieces, a canvas bag in two sizes and some matching coach bags outlet underwear sets.On a simple pale blue vest is a sweet bird print and on another top is a cloudy sunset sky on a backdrop of the Armani logo and a bold ‘R’ across it. The taupe leather jacket toughens up the collection, and you can picture RiRi herself in any of the denim designs: the jeans look like they’d be the perfect cut, and the jumpsuit is killer. It seems that Rihanna is revelling at working with such a coach outlet store online prestigious Italian label.

“Rihanna is a great artist,” said Giorgio Armani. “She has personality, charisma and energy, and has been a pleasure www.louisvuittonpursebag.com to work with. She captures the young and contemporary essence of Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans perfectly.”Sea-like creations have been gracing Coach Factory Online our coach handbags outlet catwalks for years. Forget fishtail and mermaid dresses though, for SS12 the underwater-inspired collections threw just subtle hints in the form of textures and iridescent materials.At Alexander McQueen, Sarah Burton’s colour palette was that of a translucent seashell with hits of coral thrown in – where the look itself was like coral reef – and black leather, like some coach outlet online sort of dark sea creature weaving its way through the collection. She explained that the movement of the garments was also sea-worthy: a babydoll dress rippled as the model walked “like a jellyfish moves in the coach outlet sea,” she louis vuitton outlet online said. With some barnacle and oyster patterns thrown in too, and shell lines to finish the pieces, the collection was magical.

Karl Lagerfeld knows how to put on a spectacle. If the collection itself wasn’t obvious enough, the Grand Palais was transformed into an underwater sanctuary with huge white bubbles, shells, stingrays, seahorses and corals. Even Florence Welch appeared in a seashell singing “What the Water Gave Me” – never a man for subtlety, Louis Vuitton Purses that Karl. The collection itself was predominantly mother of pearl-inspired. Traditional Chanel garments were shimmering down the runway, and delicate extras of coral, seaweed and seashell bags were held as well as pearl strings to replace conventional belts.

I write EVERYTHING longhand. Well, I used to. I used to do every first draft, all notes, all revision, all longhand. I would used different colored pens, highlights, arrows, exquisite numbering systems, etc. I do still do a lot of that, but I came down with severe carpal tunnel in my left (dominant) hand and moderate carpal tunnel in my right. Things are better now (and not even with surgery! never did it yet).

Longhand is just so initimate for me. I think maybe that might be part of the problem with 'Old Woman'. I'm trying to write this on Final Draft, not just long hand. Maybe I need to try some long hand. That will be for after work tomorrow though (unless I happen to get my homework ready for tomorrow night early). I really don't remember the last time i wrote a first draft not longhand. The right pen, the right notebook, a sturdy table, a nice chair and a beverage--NIRVANA!

I have twenty pages. I think I like the first half of the first page. I'm keeping on keeping on. I have a debate over whether to allow it to go to theatrical extremes, or to keep it as a quiet character study, which may bore the piss outta me, but which also may be ultimately more rewarding.

For now, I'm going to keep on keeping on.

By the by, I have a play that is running Off Off Broadway right now. Check out the link www.redirectionstheatre.com.  If you're in town, check it out!

Keep plugging along, everybody!

Making a facebook page for your characters is pretty brilliant, I think.  I wonder if they confirmed the playwright as a friend.  Ha! Ha!

My buddy, Alex Broun, wrote a cracker of a 10-minute play entitled "Cate Blanchett Wants to be my Friend on Facebook."  To be honest, I didn't have a facebook page until I'd read that play.  I then later went on to direct a staged reading of it.  Hilarious!

In light of how much time I invested in blogging and talking/persuading during the election, I am giving myself credit for having written eight pages so far. Especially since they are not bad pages. It's important to encourage yourself by noting that you LIKE what you're writing. At least, that's my strategy for now.

Back to work.

...and it would work IF I could read my own writing. My job requires me to read all kinds of handwritten things from profs and students, and I can read it all. But when I take notes or try to write on paper, especially when words are coming quickly...most of the time I can't read my own writing.

Everyone who knows me IRL can vouch for that. <sigh>

Other option? Red Bull.

Sometimes, you just get your characters drunk and put them together.

Sometimes, your characters blather on and blather on - just like real life!

Sometimes, the BIG MOMENT cannot be forced, it will happen when it does.

That's why theatre is glorious, even here, at the nascent moments, it is organic.

[Of course, my characters are mostly blathering at the moment.. So the pages are filling but the direction is baffling.

Blather, baffle, biffle, booooo)

Sigh.

Back to work work.

:o)

Longhand.

Not for all of it of course, but I bought myself a beautiful spiral-at-the-top notebook with a stripey hard cover at Wal-Mart and use it for notes, etc. and sometimes to work out a scene in longhand. I find a different voice comes out in longhand. I often write in longhand for exercises that then (sometimes) translate into semi-finished work on the computer screen.

Example:
 

As many sentences as you can write to finish this sentence: I want to write about...

Then your themes and the motivations for your characters will come out, if you don't censor yourself but write freely. Probably you won't use all of the material from this but it can cut down on time staring at the screen wondering what's next.

Run with it. I think you'll triumph.

Sixteen pages sounds like a lot to me -- I'm on page 12 and much of that is one liners back and forth. Can't wait to read a favorite line or something.

Work was crazy, got home late, then dinner, then my daughter hogged the computer (doing homework, she's in way too many "honors" classes) until after 11. By then I was too tired to see (because I was up before 5 to make a dessert for husband to take to his work)

I work in a poli-sci office at a college...today is election day...need I say more? I'm expected to be at their "election results" party until god-only-knows what time tonight. (I'm running away from work for my writer's group, though)

Weekend mornings while family sleeps are my most productive times.

I work full time and watch the kids while my wife works at night, so i usually write after they've gone to bed.  I had a big unexpected chunk of time to myself on Nov. 1, so i got off to a great start, but now it's going to be the 1-2 hour nightly marathon until the end.

15 pages so far.  It's going off in all these strange and wonderful directions and so structure can kiss my ass at the moment ... It does feel good to throw the rules into the fire and just write without a clue to what is going to come out of the mouths of these characters next.

I like that idea. I unfortunately think that one of my main characters would be the type to not have a Facebook page. :)  I also read in the forums somewhere that someone was doing NaPlWriMo and NaNoWriMo simultaneously and that the NaNoWriMo novel was his/her main character's blog. I though that was a great way to develop characters too.

I am currently the only registered user online at this moment... something tells me I should stop browsing the forums and start tonight's writing. :)

thanks!

Archs shouldn't be present after twelve pages, should they?

Music is such an inspiration to me too. I feel you.

Oh, school.

I'm seeing a play after Ieave the office, so I won't get to write until later, but your schedule... wow. Just wow.

Seventeen pages is admirable. Well played!

One writer here made Facebook pages for her characters. I thought that was a brilliant character exercise.

 Day 3?  Already?  I've scheduled an interview for the play, which will beget a lot of new material.  I'm asking myself a lot of questions about character, especially the main character, to get things moving.  I've been visualizing my characters in the "beyond space" that is central to prepping a play of mine.  Now, if only I could get them to talk!  But they're so timid.  They're too held back.  They're too...  Shy?

So far I'm on page 17. Two stories have emerged so far- one character tells the other character a fictional story about how the world ends while the world is actually ending all around them- gets interrupted- and one about a jar of peanut butter with dreams of a better life. Like the stories, the frame...well...we'll see. Just keeping telling myself it's a first draft...it's a first draft...

I won't get to write until later on tonight as well. I 'm working all day and then I also have to squeeze in getting my hundreds of pages of reading done for a class on Wednesday. But I'm on page 7 so far, and I hope to get myself to at least page 10 tonight.

I might break my later-night writing streak tomorrow though. We got a notice that the electricity is going to be out in my apartment complex from 9am-12pm tomorrow, and I work from home, so I can't do much without electricity. So I can either read for Wednesday's class in the morning or write off my laptop's battery until it gives me the "you have 20 minutes of power left" warning. Reading would be safer, as I get scared whenever I have to write while on a battery, but one of the books I need may not be shipped in time  to read it tomorrow morning.

Wednesday will be a real late night since I have class till 9:00 and won't get home till about 10:00 and still need to eat dinner. But if I get my reading for class done Tuesday night then I might be able to squeeze in some writing time after work but before class.

Yes, I am going to write late tonight as well !

Go Rhino, go !

Still mostly dialogue back and forth -- they go here, they go there. It's all much better if with each rereading I play the song I'm hoping to play for preshow music just before lights up.

I don't yet have the overarching conflict that brings them all together, ends with a triumph of the human spirit, all that kind of stuff. I am getting more ideas though.
