the_siobhanAbout 500 words so far. Got my gin, but no naked man. Will have to suffice.
Almost didnèt get any tonic either. I think Axel is trying to get me drunk. (I may regret this tomorrow.)
So I did do a _little_ writing while on vacation, but none of it was on my main project. Instead I got sidetracked into putting 5000 words into a short story because that was what was floating my museès boat at the time. I finished it but now I hate it. Or more accurately, I donèt like it because it doesnèt measure up to the version in my head. I figure Ièll get back to it later and do some polishing.
(BC has a great quote somewhere about creative standards and not being able to measure up in our own work and I just wasted 10 minutes looking for it but I canèt find it. Maybe Ièll remember to ask her to repost when she gets back from WisCon)
ANYWAY.
My writing appears to follow the _bright shiny object_ system, where I am always inspired, but never by the same thing consistently for more than about three weeks in a row. This is going to seriously impact the time it takes me to get anything finished. On the plus side, it does seem to fend of writerès block. The trick, of course, is to write often enough that I eventually circle around to the original project. Historically this has been the source of my failure.
How does one go about writing a screenplayÉ Because boy howdie, do I have an idea for _that_.
