Have finally signed up to November Novel Writing Month for this year. Ok now can start properly planning and panicking. It should be simple, but I’m worried I haven’t got the characters to a state, where it explains why they are doing what they are doing. At the moment I’ve a lot of ideas and an overall plan, but I’m still not sure how it will fit together. So I’ve just to start the process of selecting which bit’s will go in.
Saw the film ‘Up’ at the weekend. While it is a cliché to say how great Pixar films are, it is completely right on this occasion. ‘Up’ is moving, romantic and witty. It has a wonderful opening establishing the ordinary life of two people in love, to explain the hero’s quest and escape and then moves into a spectacular journey, which is enjoyably surreal, referencing stories about explorers. Yet it never forgets the relationship shown in the opening is the heart and soul of the story.
