Standards and Updates

Imposed Standards

[Note: I love when that's the topic!

I love discussing why standards break a person! ♥

I just love that so much it gets me excited!!!]

(Christine, it's like when New Zealand and sheep get brought up in Euro)

This is what I say:

-"Human beings and their standards, why can't we see that we break people with them?"

-"In this world, we shouldn't impose our personal standards on others. It just hurts them. The minute that we do, we no longer accept them as God made them. And we refuse to love them just as they are. "

[The below views are mine as well , simply attributed to my characters that say them in my works, though]

A few months ago when I was working on the series(which is still untitled after almost a year and plus), I used the topic of standards to develop one of the characters. Without going into all the complicated details of him and the plot that envelopes them all:

Camillia, like the wazy white flowers, says that it doesn't matter what a person has done before, because the efforts in the present will always make up for it. If they don't, it's a testimony of effort. 

Haru gets so upset with his mistake that he can't forgive himself. Even when his uncle Charles tells him not to blame himself. It's not until he runs into Reigna that he realizes what everyone has been saying.

"Disappointment is in the mind. Disappointment happens when people don't meet the standards that you set. If you never set standards, then you'll never be disappointed. And you'll never hurt anyone."

I  love these lines so much. I'm still in shock that I thought of it when I was still so young. Yes, i consider a year or so young. And in an amateur work, too! I'm going to revise it, all of it. Take the words and ideas out of the script form and start from scratch into a series. Well, I don't know when. "A Whole Lot of Good" is going on, and I want it done by the year. I need to. And then "Unwanted" (the title is still tentative. it may change as i have come up with major plot ideas) is still in the works on USB, as well. The modern age setting still strikes me as odd, because I do dialogue so differently. I hate the lingo in this century, it's terrible -_-

So I plan to mix the two worlds into one

and then start the work on the mage and the swordsman directly after

i don't know what to do about the other one, regarding the false inquirer and the trek up the snowy mountain prison. it's almost done, well halfway, but so short. it won't do...

I have a lot of work to do this year, I should never be bored.

And yet I do get bored -_-
