(This is actually from April 27th, not april 28th, so if it says April 28th, you will know they are LYING!!!)
Sorry, this isn't about the movie starring (squee) Russel Crowe.
Though I must say that the movie wasn't nearly as good as all the hype. I mean seriously, that catchphrase "Lose yourself to save what you love"? Gimme a break. Movie was like a bad, super rushed, rip off of Prison Break.
AHEM! Moving on...
OMG! THREE DAYS LEFT OF CAMP! D: I am so upset. I wanted to hit a 50k goal, and here I am floundering towards 15k. Sad, sad.
I really must blame the weather. I MUST! Rainy, wet, foggy, cold: depressing. Totally killed my creativity and motivation.
Today however, the sun i shining. The winds are warm. Birds are singing (a robin flew in the house yesterday through an open window. RANDOM!). Sky is bleu (that's French, like Les Miserables). And I have creativity! Unfortunately today is cleaning day, I'm going to TheJazzPony's concert, then sleeping over at her house, so I can't type out the 34369 words I want to. I did however type up 2000+ words today, hitting a stunning total of 13,372 something words (LAME).
I am so totally going to hit With Light and my fantasy series once Camp is over. I REALLY want to work on all my notes for the fantasy series. I'm writing bits and pieces as I go, but there's so much yet to do. Cultures, maps, languages, clothing, poetry, music, historical figures, character concepts, races, magic, etc. It's all more complex than most people think, especially if you want to craft a really good world. Most people on wattpad and things just throw a name out, a forest, a river, a castle, a bunch of squibblegins to pass for magical incantations or the words of a language, say fancy things like "Helm of Doom" and "silver plated armor" and boom! Fantasy novel! But that's not how it works. That's why those books fade into the corners of "why do I care". If I want my books to be remembered like The Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones, then I have to MAKE A WORLD.
*sigh*
Speaking of which, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and Running Red are not helping me put aside thoughts of my fantasy world that much. I also blame all that on my lack of focus on Death Eaters and creativity in general.
