A long time goal? Thursday, May 27, 2004 I wtached the Super Trailer for The Lord of the Rings just a few moments ago. In case you don't know, it's a combo trailer of the three films. By the end of it I found myself weeping in horroble despair...maybe I'm just in "a mood" but I wanted so desperately to create something like these movies, something that is so beautiful and magical and deep, something that moves people immeasurably with it's lovliness, with its ability to completely immerse the watcher in a new world. And I thought, suddenly filled with dissapointment in my own self, "Lord, lord, when will I ever be able to create something like this?" This is one of those momernts when you answer yourself. And you either say, "never" and give up, or you say, "maybe I have, and maybe I will yet." and keep going. Just keep going. I decided that Water's Edge isn't ready yet to be written in full. Drachen and Sorrenna need some steeping now...I've done a first draft, gotten to an end point, and now I'll leave it alone for awhile bfore I chop on it and write more. I didn't want to do this, because I need to get another book *done*, but what can you do? I've decided to start on another book, totally different, for a time. It's called The Palace of Bone, and will be in the sort of contemporary setting of Balancing Act. I think that's part of my problem...something is really wrong with Water's Edge, and I need some time to figure out what, why, and how to fix it. Permalink Cindy scribed this at 6:16 PM 0 comments
