Good Memories and Bad Moods

I can’t say that I had a great week. A lot of little things hampered my week, and in turn, affected my motivation and concentration to write, edit, or work on my podcast. Mood plays a role in the writing process and overcoming bad and/or negative moods is just one more thing that I have to learn how to do. This stuff does not write or edit itself.

I watched Disney’s A Wrinkle In Time and did a movie review for it. I read it as a kid back in elementary and liked it, and I think that this version is the second, or maybe third movie adaptation for this book. That’s what I want for The Mustard Prince in that a child could read it and still have good memories of it even as an adult. It didn’t help my mood though that I thought that the movie was just okay when in fact I was looking forward to it.

Maybe that’s a lesson in itself, in that we don’t know how the audience will accept our works. I suppose that we cannot control that aspect and could only do the best that we can learning from criticism and other works.
