Retreat!!!!!!!!

by David LeBarron
writing thoughts
Happy 2013 and I'm hiding! Just kidding. Well maybe not. I rented this awesome cabin in Joshua tree for the month to get some writing done! Top of the list is "Good for 1 Fr" a children's book about a kid deciding what kind of person he wants to be. And it's pretty darn funny. Also gearing up last pass at Equinox! It's going live in March. THAT'S SO SOON!!!!!! So if you don't hear from me don't be alarmed. I've just been abducted by aliens :)...

Genuis! (did I spell that write?)

Achilles, writing thoughts
Re-writes are a slow tedious business. Even when inspired it's painstaking. A little finagle in the prologue and all this other stuff has to change. Not like a ripple. Not some lovely pastural lake and shit. No pain in the ass anal-retentive snail paced editing. Each beat each phrase each assumption has to be looked at again. Truths become lies and facts that held a scene together look obvious and gimmicky. Don't get me wrong I love a good gimmick but it shouldn't do the can-can in act 2! "look at me bitches I'm a gimmick!" Please. So I've decided to have a sense of humor about it. Ha ha bloody ha ha. The Achilles...

Thematic Morning Music

by David LeBarron
storytelling, writing thoughts
If you were peaking through my windows this morning, I was underwear clad jumping around to this because I solved through a missing piece in a story. Who knew finding things to count would be so hard? And of course, as always, the answer was incredibly obvious. I mean so obvious I'm not going to tell you because you'll thinkest me a stupid of the head. Now back to the drawing pad and make this counting book happen! Literally. I'm drawing it. For real. Don't be scared. Think less Degas and more silly sketches from a creature with no opposable thumbs. And I mean that in the most self-aware-life-affirming way. ...

Happy New Year!!!!

by David LeBarron
writing thoughts
Ahh I love turns of the wheel! It makes you think about all the amazing things you've accomplished and new adventures awaiting! Wicca Please is in full pre-pro mode, so, ouch, I'm already exhausted :) And yes, I will be self-publishing a new work this year. I'm just not totally sure which one I'm going to do. I'm heavily leaning towards "Good for 1 Fr" which is about a boy who one day dares to dream. But man it's sort of a bummer opening. We'll see. There's always Baby Brow which makes me smile. I think almost all my stories make me smile...

Writing frenzy

by David LeBarron
Faerie, writing thoughts
Been writing and sculpting Faerie. It's fun but tedious. It always is in the final stages. And it is very much like sculpting. I told my friend Kat once: "you've finished a screenplay. Now write 4 re-writes. Even if it doesn't need it. Change something each time. If you end up going back to the original at leas you'll know it's the best option." Writing is re-writing. I've never thought my work came from Mt Sinai. We can argue inspiration and talent being a divine gift, but the nuts and bolts is emotionally detach and write a better story. Again. Again. Again. It's kind of like dance. It has to take over your body and every arm:...
