The Life of a Creator
I don't yet know what this blog is going to be about.
I don't know how often it is going to be updated. I
more or less just wanted a place to write. I just
wanted to talk about where I am and what I am doing.
Thinking of my old blog, I can certainly say what
this blog won't be about.
With The Legend of Zahur I am creating a world... a universe in which to place characters, stories and experiences. There's no such thing as a world built by a writer which is not based in beliefs and experiences. The shows and movies we watch, the dialogue and events in them, come from someplace inside a writer, from their life and experiences.
Right now I am experiencing something very
tedious. I have a very large sound effects library on
CD. In the past I pulled from them as needed, copying
files to the computer for use in editing. Today,
though, hard drive space is cheap and I can easily
store all the sounds on the hard drive. After all,
why go searching through a large library to find a
sound and then capture it? And so I began the process
of importing them into iTunes.
It took me more than two hours to get the first 20 discs imported. My task was to simply change the discs and hit the import button. Very tedious process. I am not even halfway done... barely a third. Anyway I decided to take a break and write this before I get back to it. I was hoping to have the first episode done today, but I would rather get this out of the way since it has to be done at some point.
I still don't know what this blog is going to be about.
