![]() ![]() The casting does have the "is this going to work" thought initially but the performances come across really well. The House of Mirth does have a slow start and Eric Stoltz's performance can seem rather lightweight for such a complex character, though he is not without his affecting moments. While I can understand completely why not everybody will like The House of Mirth some of how the detractors express their opinion reek of ignorance, like with the I'm-right-you're-wrong attitude. It is not the kind of adaptation that will suck people in straightaway but the slow pace and how subtle a lot of aspects are actually add to the storytelling rather than distract and shouldn't be reasons to dismiss it. ![]() The book is a masterpiece and this adaptation is almost up to that level, just as richly told and emotional. ![]() ![]() ![]() And on that note, I think it’s time to start thinking about the future. Out loud I say, yes, I enjoy it very much. You see, I’m sick I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning or anytime, really. How are you doing all that?Īnd I’m like, oh, I don’t do anything. When I try to begin to explain to people what my job is (it’s not easy for everyone to grasp the concept of self-publishing, especially if you have to explain the part of self-writing, self-marketing and self-businessing as well) people gape. From being completely lost and having pretty much given up on myself and life in general, I became someone who has done the near-impossible: turned my art into a job. However, when I started publishing my work, and earning a living out of it, I began to realize some things were changing, and some other things had to change. And even then, it wasn’t me living actually, but the characters I wrote about. I used to think of my life as over (bad as that sounds) until I started writing. I have to plan, I have to be excited, and most important of all, I have to hope.įor me, my future was robbed when illness assaulted me a few years ago, and I know I will never get those years back, nor will I get the opportunities I missed and all the things I had to give up back either. But as I write, I discover I have to think about the future. ![]() My future, the future of my books, the future of my world with me in it. ![]() I have a really hard time thinking about the future. ![]() Mcfrankauthor: The Robin Hood WIP diaries (15) - The writer + the future ![]() |
