Well, I got really fat.
Since I returned to the USA I’ve gained 20 lbs. This is dangerous weight. This explains the knee pain and the feeling of not being very attractive (which as a result of the puffing I am very much not). Look good, feel good. Feel good, write good. You write good, they pay good. They pay good, you live good. This, based on a Deionism, is how I see the situation now. I gotta get back to looking and feeling good… So I can write good and live good.
I’m feeling a bit better about content–meaning I have stories I could write. The connection to those stories is tenuous, like an out of focus image, but I think I can reach for them… maybe find them. I am hopeful that these next few grad classes will expose me to opportunities to unlock some story as I move into finally (finally) doing this big novel.
Gotta go to the gym more first… Gotta look good.
Some Thoughts:
- Really disliking the Marvel Universe as it turns towards this next phase. The last phase was very bad, and though there are some moments in the new phase as shown through the TV shows, mostly, it isn’t breaking new ground or telling good stories. You gotta be able to do something that makes the viewers feel something other than disappointment… No matter how many top actors you pay. I have some hope for Wonderman. I will watch the next season of Daredevil as well as any of the Punisher stuff they put out, but even that is not solid anymore.
