In
anticipation of watching Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 movie: The Shining, on Halloween, this blog is peppered with stills and
animated gifs from that movie.
As many
times as I’ve seen The Shining – and Lord
only knows how many times I’ve seen it so far – that movie never gets old.
An
in-depth blog on The Shining is to
follow.
For
now, this is about my need to focus on my own work in progress: Slipped Masks.
I’m
getting antsy with the first draft …
I need
to get this draft done, printed, and be in an armchair reading it through,
scribbling and making notations with a red pen.
It’s great to share this
writing process with my wife and I can’t wait for her to see the completed,
printed version.
I don’t
want any distractions…
… no
reasons for procrastination …
… I
wake up …
… focus ...
… and
it’s down to work!
Writing
can be frustrating at times …
… even
nightmarish!
Sometimes
writing gets you …
My wife’s
been reading the work I’ve finished so far …
… and says
she understands …
… so
when the first draft is done, we’ll be celebrating!
See you
when I emerge from the dark side of writing …
…hopefully!
Blogging
/ tweeting / pinning, et al, will resume when the first draft is complete.
More to
come.
