So awhile back I threw The Proposal into the dvd player. This is the Sandra Bullock/Ryan Reynolds* flick where she is his boss and she forces him to marry her so she won’t be deported to Canada. Sure, it was predictable. However, it was really funny. I rarely laugh out loud when watching movies. I laughed out loud twice. Sure, you have to like both Bullock and Reynolds**, but I do. It also helps if you like Betty White, Rob Base, and lil’ jon. Yes, I just typed those three names together.
In other news, I’m trying to get an article published from my dissertation. And by “trying” I mean “occasionally trying to whittle down over 200 pages to 7,000 words or less.” And by “occasionally” I mean “hardly ever.” Writing is hard. Well, writing is easy. Making myself concentrate is hard. I have tv to watch and books to read. Off I go…
*you’re welcome
**you’re welcome
I just tried to do the math on the golden rule 250 words/page to figure out how many pages you’re shooting for. I failed.
Anyway, revising is hard, but you have a Ph.D! Woo!
i’m with you. writing is easy, it’s the EDITING that’s hard!
