I am a Holiday-Hating Shithead

My wife just took the small child to the Christmas Village, some absurd collection of Santa-themed merchants, activities, and public areas. I have no idea what goes on there, but I do know I probably should've gone.

Instead I'm here looking over the rough draft of my manuscript. Time to start cobbling it together. I read an article somewhere that described Scorsese's experience with The Departed; the account says that during editing he would come out of his hole, shake his head, and say, "We've got some great scenes in here, great scenes...but I have no idea if we've got a movie."

I feel much the same way. Let's see if I can turn all these scenes into something worth reading.
