Just finished the first draft of Mindkiller. And now I'm terrified. Going to wait a few days before I tackle first revision--let it sit for a bit--and I already know there's a lot to do and what to do, so that's good. No worries...yet.
What scares me is what am I going to do for the next few days!? Since school let out a month ago, I've been writing 4-6 hours a day, depending on if I decide to swim or fish in the afternoon. That's a lot of time to fill.
I'm thinking of making a bean-art portrait. Or gluing things together in a shitty assemblage. Or going to a lot of matinees. Or finally reading 2666 (after I finish Freedom). Or revising a short story I wrote a year ago.
Or I don't know what. Any suggestions?
5 Response to First-draft Terror
Don't read 2666. Just gauge out your eyes with a spoon if that's the way you're leaning.
Just my thoughts, anyhow!
Patience!
Oh, and I'm curious about how the bean art will turn out. Can't be worse than my macaroni portraits! ;)
Read poems. Out loud.
Hey there, sorry for the off-topic comment but have you seen the Ozzie interactive zombie movie/interactive adventure/pizza ad thing on youtube? You'd prolly enjoy it, here's a link:

Definitely paintball. Or laser tag. Or make a lampshade out of paint color chips! http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/lighting/lampshade-made-from-paint-color-chips-blop-lamp-107553
Although probably the best choice is "obey the agent". :)
P.S. Congrats on the first draft. Can't wait to see the finished product!
