Every day I will write the very beginning of a story, a paragraph or a whole page, without worrying about where it might lead. "Nulla dies sine linea," I hope!

172
It's a bad thing when your perspective changes. It messes with everything you know, and it really makes you think in a way you didn't want to think. For a while, I was seeing everything as if I were a movie camera. That was bad. My arms were coming out and I could see them in front of me, typing on the keyboard, but they were the arms of an actor. I'd be eating lunch and it was as if the actor's arms were picking up the sandwich and holding it close to the camera lens. My arms belonged to some poor Hollywood wannabe who had to crouch under a hulking movie camera on a set in a giant studio and pretend to work and eat while my eyes were simply recording what went on and only moved when the director wanted to focus on something else. Like I said, that was bad.
