It's not that I don't like film editing. On the contrary. I like it quite a bit. It's only that I'm reluctant to do it in the same way that I'm reluctant to sit down and read a book. I know that I will be captivated for the next 8 hours. I will zone out. I'll glance at the clock at 10am. Then, 6pm rolls around.

The film isn't quite finished yet. What if we try this? What if we try that? N'ah. I feel like it should be 2 minutes shorter. Well, then it's only a 3 minute piece. You shot 40 minutes of footage. What the hell are you thinking? This should be longer. Well, the story's still being told. The other parts were extraneous. I didn't have B-roll to cover them. This new version is better. It's tighter. It's snappier. It's not done yet. Need to put in another 8 hours tomorrow.

Things, they take up too much time. In an effort not to waste time, as a general policy, I never like to begin them.
