It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

(warning: shameless plug for friend's book ahead)

For those who enjoyed "Reading the Slayer", Roz's newest book, From Alien to the Matrix: Reading Science Fiction Film is out in the UK in both prohibitively expensive hardback and more affordable softback. But the US edition comes out in May, via Palgrave (an imprint at St. Martin's).

Note the plug by a certain Mister Gaiman on the front cover...

Dammit.

Fucking writer's block.

I hate this.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

DH has talked me down from the writer's block precipice. He happened to call right after I posted the above and made me describe the point where I've gotten stuck.

Me: I keep trying to describe what Anna is thinking and feeling, and it all sounds lame so I keep crossing it out!

DH: That's because you've created an unnatural pause. Get rid of that lull, and keep the action up--she doesn't have time to think or feel right now. She's just trying to survive.

Me: But that'll leave me with one action scene right after another, with no time for thinking and feeling until after the bit where they're going to kiss in the cave!

DH: So?

Me: But...I had plans.

DH: Are they working?

Me: Uh, no, not especially. Point taken.
