crap.

Crap. Just re-read the second half of my synopsis and I think it’s better than what I’ve been writing for the last two days. I /think/ I can pull it back in to fit the synopsis, but dammit. Wretched writer, shoulda looked at the synopsis again yesterday before I started writing. Maybe if I turn this current scene into a setup… miles to Rauros Falls: 280

*yawns my brain out*

I think I need to switch my times around, and take the dog for a walk in the evening and bike earlier in the day.

Batman Begins

Okay, here’s the hurtful truth of the matter. I didn’t even go in with the painful spark of inevitable doom that I had with X-Men, the one that knew it was just going to suck but knowing that I had to see it anyway, and that all my hopes and dreams were going to be crushed like the pathetic bugs they were.
