"How do I 'psych' myself up to write? ... Normally

"How do I 'psych' myself up to write? ... Normally the day I start to write a screenplay, I read poetry, but really high-calibre. Roman antiquity - Virgil, old Icelandic Edda poetry, thousand years back, Tang poets from China 8th, 9th century, and other things. I read and read and read and I get into this fury of language, and it's the highest calibre of language." - Werner Herzog⁠

⁠
☕️ What gets you into a fury of language?⁠
⁠
For me, it's Shakespeare, old myths, legends & romances, and almost anything in heroic couplets...⁠
⁠
⁠
P.S. ⁠In case you're interested in my note-taking process, I've linked my article on the subject in my bio.⁠

”What happens when we understand things is that

”What happens when we understand things is that we project our familiarity with these tiny little narratives on to the details and events of the world itself, on to the flux of sense impressions, so that instead of seeing chaos, we perceive bits of story that we can assimilate into larger ones.”⁠
⁠
- from Daemon Voices by Sir Philip Pullman⁠

☕️How was your first day of NaNoWriMo? ⁠
⁠
It was a gloomy Sunday for me - ideal for settling in to some writing... 747 words so far!⁠
