Well, I think I was fired. Actually, not really fired, a probational warning. A prelude to unemployedness, if you will. It felt like a slap in the face, though. The event highlighted for me my ill fit for Ge-Angelo's kitchen. I don't work hard enough; not for some guy for some place I don't truly care about. Not hard enough for him at any rate. Not hard for myself either. I'll work an hour at scrawling before turning to distractions. Piss away the day with meaningless tasks to show nothing for at the day's end. I call myself a writer yet haven't produced a single finished piece of written work. Not really finished. Any writing I do do is All-About-Me. I'm a selfish writer and an under working novelist. If I could fired myself I suppose I would too. The lazy bum.
It's clear that it is time to move on. To return to Education's grace and proceed down another path. But to Where? Why and What? Will I change just because the work has too?

ReplyDeletehere's a summary mostly concerning mckee's guide to screen writing. I linstened to it on tape to see if I could pick any tips on designing games that have strongly structured plots. I don't know if the notes will be too cursory help someone who isn't familiar with the book.
I also recomend "the now habit" to help get over procrastination. (like mckee's work the audio book is also up on bit torrent)
thanks
