cathschaffstump...today makes me want to get back to writing. A good story really makes you fall in, and I did.
They took liberties, but it was well rendered, and I felt There, in the film. I've had a diffucult summer with Neil Gaiman, what with reading American Gods and not falling in, but in Stardust the it factor is there, and I remember why I fell in love with Sandman and Stardust and Books of Magic.
Kudos also to the film makers who really captured Vess like cinematography in some parts with breathtaking success. Vess is my absolute favorite artist. We can talk about drawing Gossamer and Viridian when I finally catch up with him. :)
Being inside Stardust is how I feel when my own writing is working. I guess I work so that I can be as free as magic or spirit or the cosmos makes you. I've never been able to relate to artists who see their characters as those that they manipulate. You can produce being attached to your characters. Granted, it's the editing that's a bit tricky, but you must not lose the spark. It's the difference between a grand affair versus a modest marriage, or a commercial success versus a book that lasts.
Just so you know, I also read some of the latest issue of Publisher's Weekly and Writer's Digest as well, so I'm back on my hour a day of writing business.
