Read, read, read!
Fixing the plot seems to be taking longer than I expected, so I’m going to focus less on writing and more on reading for the next couple of weeks. One of the problems – an old problem – with Specimen One is that the flow and structuring of the sentences aren’t smooth enough. Just grab a book from your shelf, read the first page, then read the prologue of Specimen One, and you’ll understand what I mean.
I have a lot of books that I want to finish, ranging from Chronicles of Narnia to Starcraft novels and even Nora Roberts’ romance flicks.
The next two months will be rather busy for me as well. I’m currently in the last two months of my Year 2 in Temasek Polytechnic, so I have my year end project to work on right now. It’s a 10 minutes short film but trust me when I say that a hell lot of work goes behind a 10 minutes film. So yeah, I guess it’s a good time to start reading again in order to de-stress and improve my writing =)
There should be an emo bit in here about me losing faith in my ability to write, but I’ve agreed at the beginning of this blog that I will not write emo or ranting related stuff in any of my posts, so no emoing here!
I’ll find a solution eventually.
