Holy Saturday Musings
I've hurtled over the bulk of Holy Week with nary a scrape or a scratch. We're coming up on Easter (tomorrow) and I've noticed that the one thing about hurtling is that...it's exhausting....
BUT! I have started this masterful book called "The Anatomy of Story" by John Truby and it is...almost a religious experience for a writer like myself. It is so interesting and the points that he makes are so GOOD that i just wanna pour through the whole 400 pages AND write feverishly on my ideas at the same time...it's so hard to hold back /o.o\.. *writing headaches have been resurrected*....*writers block has been rolled away from the musty sarcophogous that is my imagination, and on the third try it has RISEN! REJOICE!*
*ahem* i'm getting a little carried away, at any rate, I love this book and even if you don't write you should read it to know what constitutes a good story and what is crap! So you won't go out and by non sensical nothingness that causes brain rot. :D demand high quality fiction people! I don't necessarily mean stuff like David Copperfield or even stuff like Lord of the Rings, i just mean GOOD stories. they don't all have to works of art, a stories main purpose is to entertain and give information. Try to find one that will really satisfy you!
And with that little sermon, I will toddle off to read some more when i should be paying attention to studying for Chinese Civ >.>.....hee hee
