I believe the Constantine TV show has been cancelled? I can't say I'm altogether surprised. Don't get me wrong, I love Hellblazer. YOU KNOW I DO*. I just...I've been incredibly iffy about the TV show, and the fact that the lead couldn't keep his accent together probably didn't help (for starters).
(Hey, I totally reserve proper judgement for maybe the day I watch it and like it? But I don't think I will. I've had twenty years to make very specific judgements about what I think re: John Constantine and his world. I realise that makes me sound very picky, but I've expounded thoughts about this before, so I'm not going to go there again).
*If you didn't: HI MY NAME IS JAE I LOVE HELLBLAZER. IT IS THE BEST COMIC EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT**.
**Actually, no you shouldn't, not if you're not into comics, not if you don't like gore, and to be honest, I can think of several things off the top of my head in it that might be triggering. So. Uh. Sorry.

I actually did a bit more writing this week! I've knocked out maybe only 1000 words, but that's better than nothing. And part of it was a scene I've been avoiding, so yay? AND one of the characters has a totally lame sense of humour, but that's OK.
The only thing is that I feel like I'm doing my usual thing where I concentrate more on the characters and what they're saying than making sure the reader knows what location they're in, or what they're doing (although since I became more aware of it, I'm trying to make sure I say things that aren't just speech tags or whatever). Also everyone has to GOT to stop shrugging so fucking much. Though when I feel this has got to first draft stage, and I'm going through it with a fine tooth comb and changing as many of those shrugs as possible.
(I know they know nothing about certain things, but honestly I've got to find other ways for them to show it).
