Saw your post on writer's block, and I have to agree with you re: LoTR. I've tried to get into it, and the plot itself seems basically interesting, but the endless description fills me with rage.
Specifically, I recall reading some battle scene, and it goes on explaining the city they are near and how it is carved into the mountain, and the mountain was part of a range that blah blah blah - For 3 damn pages. By the time it got back to the actual story, it was just like "Oh, right. I was reading about a war."
YES. even in the damn movies, it was like, "i am going to begin the movie with 49 minutes of endless voiced-over exposition so i can fill in historical details you probably could have understood through a single line of dialogue. first to fall asleep wins!"
but if i get magically cast on survivor, you would watch, right?
heeee.
i hate idol but love SYTYCD - though did you hear they are going straight into the sixth (SIXTH!) season in the fall, and then keep it there? i think that's wrong. we went to the s2 tour, right? with wade's zombie dance? and then s3 was anya and danny and sabra winning, and s4 was just the last one, so that was katie and joshua and twitch . . . wow. i feel super old.
p.s. when do you post your thelittlebang story? i am so bummed about dropping out but the finale killed my desire to write for the show, and it was too late then. but i want to read yours!
(and i also want to enlist you for beta help, but want to make sure you have time before i officially ask. hah. it's going to be the story to end all stories in this fandom, i can feel it! ;) )
i don't know why i just don't send you an e-mail . . . but now i have a desire to search the internet until i find a huntress: year one icon . . . sleeping patterns (or lack thereof) suck!
