http://notesfromnormalcy.blogspot.com/2012/12/paul-auster-self-deluding-author.html

Writing about reading. Writing about writing. Writing about living. Sunday, December 2, 2012. Paul Auster, a self-deluding author? The Invention of Solitude. I like Paul Auster's writing. He always seems dogged in his efforts to clearly explain thoughts that a lot of us take for granted. He comes across as very rational, very focused on reason. And sometimes, reading between the lines, his predilection for the rational seems to push him toward remarkable levels self-delusion. Is he deluding himself?

Animation Quality vs Quantity – Intent | shhLIFE!

http://jasonschleifer.com/2011/05/20/animation-quality-vs-quantity-intent

Fixed the account issue in the community area! Develop an Effectiveness Obsession. Animation Quality vs Quantity – Intent. May 20, 2011. Middot; 10 Comments. In the last post. I spoke about achieving quality in our work. We separated the idea of a “quality” animation into two main things – great movement & technique (arcs, spacing, timing, rhythm, etc), and great acting. Through an exercise with sticky notes, I broke acting up into two areas – character. How does it move the story along? I’ve thoug...

Writing about reading. Writing about writing. Writing about living. Wednesday, July 17, 2013. SKAGBOYS, by Irvine Welsh. Skagboys (Mark Renton series Book 1). Version that some how feels more real to me. But that was a while back- seems like ages- and I was living a different life then. I moved countries every six months or so. I gave little thought to careers or a long-term future. I dreamed of writing important literary works, but spent more time dreaming than actually writing. Through every imaginable...

Writing about reading. Writing about writing. Writing about living. Sunday, November 24, 2013. 8220;It’s quiet,” they say. 8220;Sort of dull,” they say. 8220;Feel free to work on your own projects,” they say, “we’re all multi-tasking all the time around here.”. What they mean is: “look busy.”. And so you start trying to look busy. Reading a book won’t do—you’d been reading before, when they started commenting on how quiet it is. So what should you do? But what should you type? Much of the book involves s...
