Passion Project: Progress Report

Well i have written two drafts now and am working on my third. I have decided to start wrighti8ng it up on my ipad because it is taking way longer then i thought to write by hand. Below is a picture of my first draft, which only turned out to be three pages.

Getting Started Is Hard

So last time I talked about brainstorming, and so I have Ideas that are pretty worked out, but the problem is getting started, I just don't feel motivated to write. But I plan on changing that, my plan to change that is to just write for 10-30 mins everyday, I doudt it will make sense the first time around, but hopefully I'll finish and be able to rewrite it and remove and rework things, as well as make it more desriptive and developed.

Passion Project 2.0: Brainstorming

So I have been spending the last two weeks brainstorming ideas. I have to say that I have a fairlly decent amount of ideas. The problem is deciding on which one to use, should I write what I know and tak the route of fantasy and magic or do I write historical fiction which stopps me to a degree cause that requires research and "historically accuracy". also another problem is that they al kind of steal peices from each other

A New Passion Project

For my passion project I plan to write a story and make it great. I chose this project because I like stories and enjoy writing, and I wanted to do something very different from my previous project. I plan to do this by justing writing and putting my thoughts out there, currently I do not have a mentor though so yeah.

Making things square

In my previous post I mentioned the importance of making things square. This just means that making angles 90 degrees I had to do this for the lower half of my dog house more then the top, because I made my rooo at a slant. The easiest way to make sure your angles are correct would be to use a square, which is a tool that is shapped like an L and is 90 degrees on every angle. Althouht I feel like my square was a it warped from the cold temparatues and thus wasn't 90 degrees like I though. Once you start you must follow through with the plan. My plan was to just stick a sheet of plywood on top to make my roof. But my mentor said I should insulate the roof,which I did, but my plywood on the side did not meet the roof due to the change in my plans. Which resulted in theri being cracks in between the roof and the walls. So always follow your plan.

Dog House Update

Well I finished my dog house. and it looks pretty good. I just have to make sure that my dog actually uses it. I learned a fair bit during this project. 

I learned the importance of making sure that what ever you use to make sure that your angle's are square, that it should also be square.

I learned that planning can be very useful when you are trying to use as little plywood as possible.

I learned that you should never compromise your plan for anything, it makes it a whole lot harder.\

So yeah. I don't know what I'm suppose to do now.

Dog House Update

Well my walls have been put up on the inside and now all i have to do is the roof. My plan for the roof is to cut some plywood so that it will cover the inside of the dog house, Then i plan on putting some support beams on top of that with some insulation inbewteen before i put on another sheet of plywood and shingles on top. Im hoping to finally finish the dog house tommorrow.
