Regular readers of the blog know that I'm pretty close to obsessed with The Process, both mine and other people's. From work flow to idea capture, I can't get enough of it. It's one of the things I think that attracts me to so much Aaron Sorkin stuff. SportsNight, The West Wing, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip were all behind-the-scenes stuff.
So, I'm curious to know how this issue of Love and Capes will go. Usually around page 20 or so I get so obsessed with the ending and the book being done, I start pumping out pages to the exclusion of all else. It really does become an Ahab-like obsession. And I can tell I'm at that point on Love and Capes now. I can usually tell when I can bust out a page in a day or less, rather than spread it over two.
The thing is, there's at least 14 pages or so left. If I'm at maximum now, what's going to happen next? Will I get faster? More obsessed? Will I burn up like the doomed singers in Once More Again With Feeling? I dunno.
It'll be kind of fun to find out, though, won't it?
