There’s a saying, attributed to Ray Bradbury, that you have to write a million words of crap before you get to the good stuff. Someone mentioned it the other day, and since I was running short of other ways to procrastinate, I got out the calculator. 295,000 words for Eve Nineteen days to edit Joss and write the ending I didn’t manage the first time around. I still have to plug all the changes into the document (I edit on paper because Holly Lisle says so and she seems to be right), but it’s done. And it’s awesome. I’d dance around the room, [...] Not mine. Someone far braver. (and yes, I’m going to call her that.) Sometime in the last couple months, writing friends were discussing Lazy Writing that Pissed Us Off. (my name for it.) Stuff like Generic Viking Culture!, Generic Chivalry!, and Fantasy Quests Must Touch Every Country For Pretty Much No Reason. [...] There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. |
