So, new plan for NotAWriMo 2024.

This week has been one for the books, in terms of dealing with the fallout of the rest of the family being sick at various points during it. Writing has taken the hit. Such is life.

So, here’s the new plan. I lean into it, and spend the weekend watching surfing and beach movies. First up is GIDGET, which is… yeah. I understand that things were a bit different, sixty-five years ago, but… okay. At least the actresses aren’t fifteen and sixteen.

Back to the surfing worldview.

I’m reading one of their seminal texts (Gidget) now, to get a feel for the original mindset and the worldview. I still have a bunch of movies to work through, but I’m going to go about that nice and steady. I can’t really move forward on BANSHEE BEACH until I get a feel on Hollywood movie beach culture. That means research.

It does not, however, mean getting on a surfboard. I’m a writer, so yes, I’m insane. I’m not that kind of insane.
