Inspiration

How important this is if not exhausting. Creative people need creative ways to keep that well of inspiration flowing freely. I do a lot of things to remain "in the moment" and last night I became obsessed with one. A video. It is one of my favorite ways to keep my creative well flowing. It is a visual aid I suppose but also an emotional one. Music speaks to me and runs through my veins like rush of starfire burning until I have no choice but to give in to it. So I made a new video and I really love it. It turned out so much better than I thought, and this little bit of inspiration from another movie helped a lot. It gave it a theme. (This was written on Thursday night--I'm a little bit behind in posting updates to the blog)

After making that video, watching it about a million times, I realized I've got to go back to the begining of my story and give it some more depth with it being an info dump. Ah ha...therein lies the clutch because you can't have an info dump in the beginning of a book because let's face it said book will go bing bang boom up against said readers wall. And that's just not good for anybody. So I'm gone back and am fixing the beginning chapter. It's really important to get these things done and get the setup and everything right when you are writing a first draft off of a very rough outline. (Meaning maybe a sentence or two at this point in time for an outline) So a lot of work on that tonight.

Finished 828 new words tonight and I'm nearly done with this 3rd chapter and it might even really end up being the 4th chapter. Crap I don't know right now what it is and have named it "Freeing the devil and why did I do such a stupid thing." ROFLMAO
Hopefully one day you'll all see why I just said that. Janie might know already.

Anyway.

I'm going to bed now...
