Believing in the impossible


"I can't believe that!" said Alice.

"Can't you?" the queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again, draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said. "One can't believe impossible things."

"I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

~Lewis Carroll, "Alice in Wonderland"

March madness

In my attempt to keep to my promise to write something on my movie every day, even if it's just a blog post like this one to remind myself that I still have to finish writing it, here is my entry for today.

It seems like I didn't get much written yesterday (Thursday), but I keep forgetting that I mostly spent the hours between midnight yesterday and now either sleeping or working my normal 8-hour shift. And spending time with the hubby of course, that's very important.

The day before however, whoa ... I got a LOT written! And I was able to jot down some ideas at work this morning. But wow, the dialogue I got written yesterday; I was on fire! Of course, I think most of it will need some work done on it, but I got almost a whole entire scene written, would work out to be maybe ... hm ... well, a few minutes worth of movie I think.

I'm actually kind of glad I have other things demanding my attention besides writing the movie, because I find my inspiration comes when I'm in the middle of doing something else.

Oh - and I came across the BEST QUOTE EVER today, by Lewis Carroll:

"Sometimes, I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

That shall become my mantra for getting this movie done, hee hee.
