Distractions and Silliness

I made one little change to my writing/editing process, and that is that I put my phone away where I’d have to get up from my chair to get it. It may not sound like much, but distractions like that really do add up and take time away from writing/editing. I can see why it’d be better, for example, to have a clean work area to work at as the messiness can be something of a distraction. There is something to be said about aesthetics and ambiance in your work environment.

Speaking of distractions, I watched Deadpool 2, and it was a really fun movie. I personally liked the first one better, as there was one main, definite villain instead of having somewhere around four. However, one thing I like about Deadpool is that no matter how crazy he gets and the situations that he finds himself in, there is still a humanistic side to him. He’s also just very self-deprecating as well.

The Mustard Prince has a little bit of that as well as far as silliness, but also in the self-deprecating humor. There is something to be said about not taking yourself to seriously, and I think that Marvel has that down. They understand the world that their characters live in and the outrageous situations that they find themselves in and satirize it when appropriate. It works for them, and it works for The Mustard Prince as well.
