Am I a geek for loving the extras on dvds sometimes more than the actual movie itself? Lol. I don't know. I get so creatively inspired when I watch the extra.s. Right now, I'm watching the extras of The Incredibles. And, sorry for the pun, it is incredible. THere are so many wonderful insights they give. I should have just let my Creativity class watch this instead of Stranger Than Fiction :-P
Anyway, it's all about research, right? I remember that they said writing a story is abotu planning and research. The actual writing is like only 20% of the actual work. So much of it is planning and preparing and researching and editing and proof reading, etc. Will thsi be good?
Right nwo, I'm a bit intimidated. Read Micah's paper that I assigned him for the class i teach. Micah is just sooooooo amazing in writing. Seriously. I can't, I seriously can't, get how he can write people so realistically and with the right amount of quirkiness. I feel like a CS Lewis book while Micah feels like a contemporary writer. One is a deep story that people don't really pick up after reading it once, while Micah's is something people keep going back to. I don't know. I need to really refine and work on what I do.
So, those are my random thoughts of the day. Lol.
