Caffeine Induced Projects and Posts
November 25th, 2007
Alright. I know I already have too many projects going on. So what? It’s not like I can help it. The more I think the more I write and the more I write the more I think. While working on one story my mind may often toss up ideas for my other stories so I must always keep another file open or a handy little note book near.
Or worse-
-I think of an entirely new story while working on a project that I’m rather far into. This happens more often than not when I get into that special writing zone. You know, that special moment of infinite wisdom when the words seem to flow from your fingers faster than you can catch them and you end up writing more than usual in one sitting? Well, I often find myself in that zone during my NaNo writing because it’s all writing and no thought, no looking back, and no editing. Well, yeah, last night I was trying to catch up for not working on it for two or three days and let’s just say I only got 2,000 words in before another story literally hit me over the head and I had to drop everything I was doing to write down each and every snippet that popped into my head.
It was fairly late last night when I finished brainstorming and I haven’t yet looked back at my notes for fear of being possessed by the story once again and thus achieving nothing else. I’m hoping when I do look at it later on tonight it won’t look like a total mess of gibberish (isn’t that just the funniest word you’ve ever seen?).
Yes. I have had caffeine. No. I’m not allowed. Just be thankful is wasn’t coffee- my tummy can’t handle coffee but this may mean several weird posts in the near future. :)
I fear I may be leaning towards the romance genre lately. I sincerely hope not but alas I must follow where my pen takes me. Mayhaps a short story or two will get it out of my system or mayhaps it’ll spur it on. I hope not. I hate romance stories so much. Not stories with romance but stories ‘about’ romance. And here I was afraid that my writing was getting darker, I’ll take than any day over some of the mushy trash I’ve read unless….
(insert mental evil laugh here)
Mayhaps I’ll write a non traditional romance…. :) You don’t want to know what’s going through my head but I do promise it isn’t dirty. I have little talent for writing dirty but I do have a talent for getting my message across. See, what I hate most about tradition romance is that it often involves the couple to fall head over heels for each other even if they don’t know it, they rarely start out ‘truly’ despising each other, or the woman no matter how strong ‘submits to her desires’- goddess forbid, or they’re full of so many Mary Sues and cliches that I want to choke. And goodness gracious what happened to people writing about emotional love without physical love being involved. I’m not precisely talking about sex, just a number of things that it seems many people feel need to be present as well as the emotion. I’d like to see the emotion show up long before any attraction, or maybe even love in a relationship where there is no physical connection. And maybe I’ll write about a non heterosexual couple just to spite traditional romance at the core.
Dang it. I started brain storming again. No more caffeine for Spirit. No, no, no. :( Well maybe a little…. :)
And another thing why to text smiles always have to face this way :) why can’t my smiley face this way (:? Can’t I be special?
