When I started this, I did not grasp the reality of a blog a
day for the next few years. I just realized in the last few days that this is
hard. And you know? This is a point I’ve gotten to with almost every thing I’ve
ever done.
“Wow, making a movie is actually a pretty big undertaking.” “Hah, Polish grammar is closing around my neck like a python.” “Ten hours a day of Chinese is not fun like I thought.” “This isn’t the lark I set out on.”
There’s this point in every adventure where you actually understand what you’ve set out to do and how big it is, and you ask yourself, “Am I really doing this?”
I want you to bring your character to this point. His adventure is long and tedious and difficult and now he sees what it’s going to cost him, and he’s asking if it’s worth it. Write a scene that asks and answers that question.
And if this sounds boring, make him have this discourse while hanging upside down.
