A Taste of Deselberg
So I have a couple of websites I'm not developing, silver.datamachine.net and ikkakujyu.googlepages.com. Both are freebies, and both are just sitting there, because I can't really decide on anything to put up just yet.
Problem being that there's too much junk in my head. Characters, half-finished plots, much of an attempt at a historically-realistic but slightly fantastical world, music, code snippets, etc. Difficult to actually finish anything without deadlines or substantial external motivation. Sigh.
However, I've been playing with the idea of arranging everything around cities, since that's generally how I think about story and plot; i.e., the website would be a simple portal that shows icons of different cities, and you click one to see all the stories, character bios, pictures, and whatever I have that relates. I'd start with "Deselberg," my oldest and most developed city, and see where it goes from there.
Need to get better at drawing, though :( ¶ 11:56 PM
