If you wait until you feel like writing your diss you will never, ever do it. Just suck it up, go to the library, and write. Or so I tell myself. Applies to academic writing too, I think.

It's been quite the odyssey! Sara Z: Yup, it's a hell of a quote and so very spot on. Very close to <a href="http://scottwesterfeld.com/blog/?p=93" rel="nofollow">Raymond Chandler's words of wisdom</a>. It endlessly amazes me how hard the most basic aspects of writing are. Blowing up whole worlds? Dead easy. Getting people in and out of chairs? Really, really hard. Huh? It's very comforting that it isn't just us writers, but choreographers, too! Phew! Thanks, guys! It’s been quite the odyssey!

I once watched a documentary on the great choreographer Bob Fosse. At one point he said that every time he would start a new project, he would stare at the dancers and think, "How the hell do I do this? How do I get a dancer across the stage?" Even after winning a Tony, Oscar, and Emmy. I love that quote. I once watched a documentary on the great choreographer Bob Fosse.
