Work has never been busier. I haven’t written any Beach Knight at all today. I ate my lunch at 130pm (I usually eat it at 10am). It’s been a wild and crazy weekend. The upside, writing-wise, is that I learn for the Beach Knight. I want to write about him. I crave him.
Desire is an incredible power, and, as a person with depression, I often lack it. So when I have desire, I cherish it. I’m glad I want to write about Beach Knight.
Last night, my wife and I watched K-Pop Demon Hunters. It was almost a perfect movie, but there were some writing decisions near that end that really damaged its impact. Some cliche choices were made that the movie would have been better without.
I hope I never make a cliche writing choice that dampens my story. It may be harmful to read books about story structure. In the long-run, you’re probably better off just reading a lot of books and watching a lot of movies. Anyone who thinks you can reduce storytelling to a formula is a silly goose, unworthy of emulation.
Thanks for listening to my rant!
Today’s writing tip: No one can teach you how to write. Only you can teach yourself.
