I don't know...this and that...
Mar. 13th, 2005 11:21 amActually wrote quite a bit yesterday - not a huge amount, but a bit. Happy about that. And hope to write more today. Heard on some talk show a bit of good advice regarding writing - or my writing: "I write for myself without worrying about pleasing anyone else, but myself, there is a freedom in that, allows my imagination to play." I've never been particularly fond of criticism to be honest. It tends to shut my creativity down at times. Which does not bode well for a writing career. Human beings by and large tend to be a tad too harsh in their criticism. If we love something - we applaud it, if we don't? We rip it to shreds. Caring not for the sensibilities of those involved.
Speaking of criticism - saw Spamalot last night with cjlasky. Then read both buffyannatator's and Darby's reviews of it. [Don't ask me for the links, I'm horrid at including that stuff. ] Was it good? Uhm. I fall somewhere between Darby and Buffyannatator's reviews on it, Darby did *not* like it, Buffyannatator adored it. Per usual - I find myself settling nicely between extremes.
Better question - was I entertained? Yes. There were portions that I found incredibly funny, funnier actually than the movie. ( review of Spamalot, sort of. )
On the fanfic front ( a little ramble on writing and fanfic I've been reading. )
