Friday's Word Count: 34502
I made the week by 26 words. Cutting it close, perhaps, but done.
I have managed to pick up the pace of the action a bit, and I think that's good, I'll probably have to go back to the earlier stuff and ratchet it up a bit, but that's an exersize for the revision stage, right now I just have to get some kind of story down, so it's available to be fixed later.
I have been watching the Lord of the Ring movie commentaries. Movie making documentaries has always interested me, because the stuff they talk about, often sounds a lot like the stuff that I think about as a writer, but they think about the same kind of things several times over: telling the story in dialog, telling it in pictures, telling it in music, telling it in sound…
All I have is words.
And yet all that effort that went into the Lord of the Rings movies, all that creativity and time spent and all that was in an attempt to prove worthy of Tolkien's words — a humbling and inspiring thought.
