Tell me how...
Mood: A little perplexed, and feeling a lot lazy...
What I'm Listening To Right Now: Again, nothing. The TV is on, but I've been doing other things.
Okay, so first things first, I just thought I should let you all know that in the last week I have become obsessed with Super Heros. I know, I know, I talked about this in my last blog, but to update everyone, I've watched a show about the Ultimate Top 20 Super Heros twice, and would watch it again in a heart beat.
I even watched Batman Returns for the second time today, just because.
And, to add to all of that, I just spent the last hour or so watching a behind the scenes video blog of Brian Singer, the director of Superman Returns. I'm one of those people who like to know why and how things get done, so to see that they actually grew the corn for the Kent farm, and to also see all of the work that the lovely Brandon Routh had to do in a harness, was phenomenal.
It was really interesting, and kind of nice to see how much changed from what he had planned to what happened in the movie, considering I've changed a lot in my story since the beginning too.
Watching all of this stuff is basically for all of the reasons I talked about in my last post, so I won't get into it. But I will admit that I have a problem; but I hear that the first step to curing a problem is admitting you have one.
On a different topic, I just read a blog of a writer named Shanna Swendson, and she just started writing the fourth book in the series she's been writing, two weeks ago... And she's a fourth of the way through the book. WHAT?!?! I've been writing since March and I'm only almost half way done!
Obviously something is internally wrong with me.
How can I be so slow? And of course, then, all of my writer-self-doubt creeps in. What if I'm put on a four month deadline for a book? What do I say, "I'm sorry Big Publisher Man/Woman, but I need a little more time because I'm slower than honey going up a hill in January."
That's great, huh?
Okay, I'm done freaking out now. I just need to write more, and write faster... That's all. No biggie... right?
Have a great night everybody.
