productive day...
So today was good. I sat in Starbucks for 2 and a half hours and edited the first scene of my story. Eight pages in 2.5 hours. It was far less painful than imagined. I was actually looking forward to whole process. I know that my words are not sacred. It's dangerous to think that they are. I can remove them. It's necessary. After staring at a sentence I liked, trying to desperately find a way to keep it in the story I just struck it out. Doesn't fit. OUT! I did a lot of that today. Chopped out some deadly adverbs and adjectives, some telling vs showing and upped the severity of the main character's situation and chopped out sections of back story. It was awkward from the time I wrote it, so OUT!!!
I look forward to scene two...
(on a unrelated note)
Sometimes I forget I live in Japan, I just don't think about it. But then sometimes I am shocked into realizing exactly where I am... One such incident happened tonight as I was buying Froot Loops in my corner grocery... I looked up as the start of Gackt's "Mirror" piped in over the sound system. That was odd enough, until I realized that it was Muzak Gackt! I wandered around in the fruit juice section in a daze trying to comprehend Muzak Gackt. I thought to myself, this could happen no where else but in Japan.
On a side note, I'd just like to say I finally put Anima in my CD player (yeah I only bought it a month ago) and I thoroughly like the album. For god sakes it's Nightmare! This comes as a shock to me. I am now truly looking forward to Hitsugi kun and his bees. (Peace!)
