Following on from my last post

You already know i don't like blogging...

But here is an example of  blog that i am very frustrated with!

http://meadowman.blogspot.co.uk/

David firth, the soul of all my inspiration, is working on a feature length film called 'Meadow Man' which i cannot be more excited about, but from reading his blog, its taken three years to get to a point where he is saying "it might take a few years" ...

there are many reasons why, David Firth explains:

I must admit, I haven't been very good at updating this blog. This post will consist of a series of excuses. Let's start with a quote:

"It doesn't matter how slowly you, so long as you do not stop"

I don't remember who said that, or if I quoted it properly, but it fits. I have not stopped making The Meadow Man, but I am not doing much to it at the moment. Let's try and understand why:

1. I needed to make some money so I did some freelance stuff.

2. I dedicated a few months to the Meadow Man then needed to make money again.

3. I went a little bit insane.

4. I took a break from my work and went on a travelling adventure to America.

5. Now I am back without a place of my own and all my stuff in boxes.

6. I need to make money again.

7. Global financial crisis.

8. I need to re-write it.

9. I wasn't lying when I said it would take forever.

So all you need to know is that I still will make it, but I need money, workspace, a team of robots and a load of other essential life elements to prevent me from going insane again. Duke Nukem Forever came out eventually and so will The Meadow Man - hopefully it won't be a big steaming pile of shit like Duke. I promise it won't.

Right now I am currently doing a lot of writing and having the occasional meeting. Not for The Meadow Man but for other exciting projects. One day I will finish everything I have started and then have a little sleep. Then I will start a set of new projects and keep people waiting again. I shall repeat this until I die.

As you can see there are real reasons why he cant move forward with the projects he has on, but i wanted to share this as an example as to someone else who struggles to get excited about blogging, if i realise the frustration that i am feeling towards David Firths blog i might think that i might be causing such grief!
