Gazebo in the Forest
Well it only took 2 months to get here, but I am presently sitting in the beautifully rustic gazebo in the forest. I can hear a couple birds, some insects and the gentle, warm breeze as it dances through through the branches and brings a much appreciated relief from the heat of the day. It's blistering in the sun, but oh so comfortable in the shade. I just love how the breeze encourages my ankle-length flowy summer skirt to dance around. So, glad I bought it! The bright green matches in perfectly with the leaves. And the layers and little lacy bows just make me feel like a child again (that or I'm 200 years or so back in time).
My note book and pen are in hand, along with a finished (which has now become a rough) draft that I am about to change some major happenings. The walk up here was great for thinking and while trying to peer into my characters' personalities, they made it abundantly clear that something I had done was just so out of character, and quit frankly just a silly way to get events going in a certain direction. I gotta say, I do so love trying to write something and having a personal creation tell me, "Um, no. I'm not doing that."
As for the movie, haven't done much. I've just been so uninspired this year. I've thought of a few ideas and I'm not sure when I will work on it. I think I need to return to civilization for this one. I'm still working on the music for the mini-movie however.
So, now it's down to business. I want to get in at least 5-6 hours of writing before the sun goes to bed. Although I may cheat and take a small break in the middle to go sit in the stream for a bit. ;P
