Writer's Block sucks!
Feb. 7th, 2011 04:01 pmProgress is very slow on 'Songbirds' although I have managed to get to 70k. I just need to get my inspiration back. I have to thank ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emerald_skies for her really helpful thoughts on the characters. It really helped, so thank you again. I think the thing I have to crack is Rob. You know when you fell as if you don't really know a character and what makes them tick. That's kind of how I feel. I know he's meant to be
I know what he looks like: a ’50s blond haired version of Armie Hammer. He’s a baritone and both divas both want him. He’s down to earth, charming, a bit of a player. He’s in love with the heroine, only she doesn’t realise it for ages because of her self-esteem issues. I just have to keep chipping away at it. Usually it just comes to me and I don't think about it, so when it doesn't it's quite worrying.
So far I haven't been posting very regularly which is a shame. I need to get on that, to be honest. I don't think I've really got the hang of blogging. I hope I crack it soon, as it would be embarrassing if I ever made as a writer and couldn't do it.
I'm having a birthday meal at Wetherspoon's. I invited a bunch of people from work, but I doubt they'll turn up to be honest. Bugger it, I'm doing it for me, not for them. If any of them turn up then that's a bonus. I hate birthdays as they just remind me of how isolated and lonely my life has really got. I might try and watch a film afterwards as well. Nothing has come out which I'm desperate to watch, although if 'Never let me go' or 'True Grit' come out by then I might make an effort to watch something.
Work have decided to show four showings of 'Carmen' in 3d instead of the rest of the season.So now they want us to promote that instead. As usual I was the last person to know about nay of this. The reason I was given was that the slate was so packed they couldn't show the Wagner as it was too difficult for the audience and not popular. I'm side eyeing this comment so hard at the moment because this isn't what the audience is telling me. I really don't know any ore . Do I really have the energy to devote to this any more? I really want to at least finish 'Songbirds' this year and at least one of the fics. That's what my energy should be going on.
I have restarted my monthly reading so I have read a couple of gay romances, and the new Nancy Friday. I didn't even know she had a new one out so there you go. I remember reading them as a innocent teen and let's just say they had a rather shaping effect of my younger self. I must have spent the entire book a bit like: O.O but unable to stop turning the page. damn my curiosity! I recently re read 'Forbidden Flowers' last year and that was strange after so many years how much I remembered.
