It’s a beautiful day in D-town, and here I am back in the closet that is my home “office” writing words. It’s been hard to write, because quite frankly I’ve been going in so many different directions that sometimes I feel like all I’m doing is circling the airport waiting to land. Darn you holding pattern. But I will say that I feel like at least the circles are getting closer to the ground, so touchdown…maybe in sight after all?
Over the course of the past few months I’ve been doing some serious down and dirty editing on the bulk of Liability U. This has been very helpful. There is a distinct storyline, though after watching it over and over, I am aware that it’s depressing and not at all what I had originally envisioned. So what to do. Excuse it away as reality taking over or change course? I’m thinking the later, but it’s terribly hard to kill your babies. You get so attached to them, you know every cut, every tempo change, every depressing spiral. And if you take them out, then what do you replace them with, and how? This is the point that I am at.
Other than that I’ve been working on some other project, which if I remember, I’ll talk about later. Basically I’m trying to take all these disconnected parts and fashion them into one cohesive unit, which is my life. Not always pretty, but hopefully worth the effort.
Today, things are quiet. I’m trying to avoid watching the news because I find it depressing. In case you’ve missed it, they all pretty much start out the same way: “More bad news for the nation’s economy today…layoffs, record unemployment, doors closing, worse before it gets better…fear.”
And so it was.
