Why can't I just get my head into this?
I'm trying to RIAW (rewrite-in-a-week) because I need SOMETHING to motivate me into finishing this darn book. And still, I've written about 1/2 a page and keep coming back to LJ, or getting up to get a snack, or do laundry, or whatever.
I just wish I could concentrate. I wish some ideas were coming. I know if I just keep at it, I'll get somewhere, but I can't find the motiviation to keep at it.
I think I'm going to stop writing this chapter and skip ahead to Harod using the bird charm for the first time. I just can't figure out what the heck Rearc is supposed to be doing right now.
Also, I saw Narnia last Thursday. Le sigh. It was wonderful, naturally. They did a great job sticking to the meat and feel of the story. I am hopelessly in love with Peter now, in a very 12-year-old girl sort of way, as I believe I was when first I read the Chronicles of Narnia. He was quickly supplanted by Caspir, though. Rather a little too quickly. I was a fickle lass in those days.
The one thing I did not like in the movie was the overdone amount of Mr. Tumnus. He was finely acted and well-portrayed, but I don't think I was ever a huge Faun fan. And I'll be honest...the goat half kind of squicks me. Hearing the clomp clomp clomp whenever he moved was quite unnerving. Otherwise, I loved it utterly and completely. Tilda Swanson as the White Witch is perfection itself.
I won't be taking Kaden to see it. Not only because he's 2 1/2 and wouldn't be able to sit quietly through a 2 hour movie, but because the scene at the Stone Table would scare him. We will buy the movie, and I will FF that part until he's old enough to handle it. I think I'll likely FF most of the battle scene as well. Really, I think he'd be happy enough to watch the first 15 minutes and then stop. Maybe that's what we'll do.
Okay, I'm honestly going to try writing some more now.
