http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2009/11/on-the-hunting-down-of-ideas.html I've been struggling lately to turn a lot of ideas I have into actual stories. I kind of feel like my writing mojo has taken a temporary leave of absence, and the harder I look for it, the harder it is to find. It has been incredibly frustrating. This morning, in Warren Ellis' BAD SIGNAL e-mail, he said:
At least half of all writing involves just sitting and staring into space. Letting your brain out to hunt down ideas, bringing them back all warm and bloody between its teeth.
This is something that I knew to be true, but had temporarily forgotten. As writers, it's vital that we meet our deadlines, of course, but we also have to build time into our work schedule to read books, take walks, visit doctor whisky, play with our dogs, and do the other things that may not look or feel like work, but are integral to our creative process. Thanks for the reminder, Warren, I needed to hear that.

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/wwdn/~3/BYlXR7nGFmM/the-obligatory-addendum-to-the-obligatory-w00tstock-post.html When I wrote my w00tstock post, I totally forgot to mention that we put some video interludes into the show, to make sure that we were giving the maximum A/V Club experience to the audience. There were some very funny shorts, including Mister Bungle getting the Riff Trax treatment, the credits for Jonathan Coulton's television series, Monkey Shines, (that was cancelled after the first commercial break), and this parody commercial for Trader Joe's, which is exceptionally hilarious if you've ever shopped there:
I also neglected to mention that Kid Beyond wrote a book of puzzles he created called BOGGLE Crossdoku , and Molly Lewis has a CD of her kickass music ... you know, because it's getting to be that time of year when people typically give gifts to other people. Also, whenever I say "...forgot to mention," I have to say "BEWARE OF HITCHHIKING GHOSTS!!1"
