http://www.machinimafordummies.com/articles/2007/06/13/must-sleep-now en-us 40 Blogging the writing of "Machinima For Dummies" <p>Hot darn, but I&#8217;m tired.</p> <p>We&#8217;re in the home straight now. The end is in sight, and both Hugh and I are staggering towards it, gasping for breath with every muscle crying out in pain. The problem is that the end point is deceptively far down the track. I keep thinking we&#8217;ve almost finished, then something else turns up, and we&#8217;re back to the mind-numbing task of checking every line of a 400+ word book for errors and changes.</p> <p>Hugh&#8217;s making coffee right now, which I desperately need. I remember talking to <a href="http://www.machinima.org/blog">Paul Marino</a> some time ago. He described the last 10% of his machinima-book-writing-process in much the same way. This is the hardest thing I&#8217;ve done in a long time. I&#8217;m on my last legs. If we don&#8217;t finish all our little tasks today (and it&#8217;s looking like we might not), you&#8217;ll find me on the floor in a fetal position, gibbering like a maniac.</p> <p>Somebody call my mum and tell her to write me a note. I can&#8217;t do gym today.</p> Wed, 13 Jun 2007 12:53:00 +0100 urn:uuid:3772158f-0bec-438a-a2a4-c5203b7cb2e2 Johnnie Ingram http://www.machinimafordummies.com/articles/2007/06/13/must-sleep-now Progress coffee authorship writing tired deadlines machinima http://www.machinimafordummies.com/articles/trackback/10548 <p>Glad its going well, get in touch at some point.</p> <p>Pete.</p> Sun, 17 Jun 2007 15:48:44 +0100 urn:uuid:df3c84b5-92da-47af-ba06-276aa0f36cc5 http://www.machinimafordummies.com/articles/2007/06/13/must-sleep-now#comment-10785
