I find it odd that I have such a love/hate relationship with my own writing. When I'm writing a story, I usually think it's the stupidest, most boring piece of shit ever written. But I try to ignore that voice and keep on going. I force myself to write about 1,000 words every time I sit down to do it. This isn't every day, but a couple of times a week. Slowly, I manage to pull a piece together. Then, when I've got the bare bones, I take it again, and form it into something better.

When I think about it, it's a truly strange thing.

Even stranger is the fact that I know I'm not the only person who feels this way about their writing.

As a writer friend of mine once said, "God, I hate writing. But I love having written."

Dad took me to see "Master and Commander" tonight. We both enjoyed it. It took me a while to catch on to some of the things that were happening, because of the language, and because, well, I'm just slow to catch on sometimes.

The acting and cinematography were excellent, but what really made the movie for both of us were the sound effects. The constant sound of the ship, and the water was so effective.

some spoilery comments and question )

The idea of being cooped up with 200 drunk and dirty men in one place sounds like a nightmare to me. I would have been a poor sailor.
