Man, I spent all day today putting together a 10-minute video. Le sigh. That’s what it took, I suppose.
The video was worth it. It’s a very, VERY quick summary of our vacation. You have no idea. We have literally hours worth of videos and photos from that trip, and I had to distill it down into ten minutes. I’ll link to the video below 🙂
Back to the writing grind tomorrow. I have two chapters to finish before I send them off to my readers. The endgame is afoot. I really, really think I might be able to finish this particular storyline by this time next week. Finally! Flawed for sure, and it probably will undergo another full rewrite, but at least it will be done and READABLE. This second-first-draft is very, very different from the first because it will be READABLE. And something that is finished and readable is fixable. The other first draft was a waste of time.
Except that it got me here, and showed me some perspective. So, not a complete waste 😛
I am reading this book right now, guys, called The Story Grid and it is giving me LIFE. LIFE, I say. It’s easily the best book on story I’ve read this year, the past couple years…perhaps even in my life. It’s that good. It spun me off into an entire Avengers tangent tonight on twitter.
Go find it, if you’re at all interested in story and how it works.
I think that’s it for me tonight. I’m actually in bed on time, and I’m going to sleep.
It’s been a good week, guys, which is a fucking miracle given that I was in Maui on this day a week ago. I cannot tell you how many vacations ruined my work flow.
Not this time.
Write every day. Never stop never stopping.
Night 🙂
Here’s the video from Maui. Enjoy 😊
