Not much writing happening lately. I'm bogged down in the short script I'm working on for the uni screenwriting paper I'm doing at present. Actually, I really like the story, and it's a fascinating process. But I'm in redraft territory at present - lots of rethinking, but now have to sit down and do the re-writing. It's based on a scifi short story I wrote some time back, but this has been a great chance to expand on it. Set on Titan, largest moon of Saturn, it involves the first colony set up there. Which creates lots of possibilities re how people can live and work in colonies as we expand into the solar system. Lots of ideas, but it's limited to a 30-35 pg script, so all background knowledge to what actually goes on paper. Very fascinating world building though.
And the rugby world cup is on. What about that opening ceremony! Just loved it. And I get weepy over the national anthems. Loved Ireland vs USA - very emotional. But hated Scotland vs Georgia. Scotland have one of the best national anthems going - "Flower of Scotland" and the choir and orchestra that have done an amazing job on all the other anthems just butchered this one. It dragged, there was not beat to it, and worst of all, no passion or rising crescendo. How could they do that?
Oh, and the rugby is great too.
