So, after a chat with my counsellor today, I think I may have made some errors creatively.

So, after a chat with my counsellor today, I think I may have made some errors creatively. Or rather, failed to make anything, by going about things the wrong way. This affects two things. The Seconds webcomic, and my Trans Tarot Deck.

SECONDS WEBCOMIC
The Seconds Grid was always conceived as somewhere to shoot a photo-comic. This means that unlike most Opensim grids which are generally either multipurpose, some place to be lived in, or educational, it should consist of locations and sets to shoot in. with props, actors (avatars) costuming to match. But that only works like a film, where there's a script which can be blocked into scenes that have locations and sets, and details about who's doing what to whom. Lately though I've been building more of a "general world". That's OK in some ways because mostly what's there now is essentially a group of standing locations and sets. However, if you're creating a film of a TV episode, you don't build the whole world "just in case" -- you build what you need in order to film the scenes in the story, and retaining (where necessary) locations and sets for future use.

And that's what I need to do. In order to do that I need to write a script for part one of the new story. I have the rough outline in my head, but I need to "put it to paper" first, and build the sets to meet that. Some of this is already done. I mean, I know there will be scenes at the Buggle-Praxis base, at North Buggle Island, at the top of Scalliwag Island, and at Octobriana's flat. But there's more than that, and making a list or outline will direct me in what needs to be completed.

TRANS TAROT DECK
This was an artwork done for my Honours in Fine Arts, and is an allegorical representation of gender transition in a Tarot format. The artwork's complete but I feel I need to have this published as a real tarot deck. Have been dithering over this for a long time.

At the very least I need to find out how and to whom I can submit this for publication, and then work on a submission, and submit it to one or more publishers.

Something to think about, and start working towards.
