Nome: the last word in procrastination
Feb. 20th, 2008 08:51 amSo I'm seriously stalling on Dark Eden. I don't know why; I love this story, I love the world, I love the thought of writing it all. But I can't get myself to get back into it, having written the prologue. I think it's partially that I have so many other ideas swirling around my head right now: my focus is shot to pieces. I know from experience I can't really work on two books at once, so I'm trying to ignore the desire to start all these other books in a mad flurry of info-dumping, but it's hard. Partially it's because I'm waiting to hear from Ricia about Wild and I'm really worried she'll tell me it's shite.
I have to keep reminding myself of all the awesome things Dark Eden has for me to play with: zombies, schizophrenic demons, mutilated angels, depressed nephilim and megalomaniac kings of hell... etc... Why am I not writing more?!
Also, I saw Cloverfield last night - awesome film, but scary. Pip and I practised our bloodcurdling screams on the way home in case a monster attacked Cambridge. I don't think one will, since Cambridge has no major landmarks that might attract such a monster. Also also, we saw a trailer for the new Hellboy film and ... OMG, was that Cthulhu at the end? Seriously? It looked like Cthulhu. *has fangirly fantasies about the Cloverfield monster and Cthulhu battling it out for world domination.
