Renewed Vigor

After getting down on myself yesterday, I found myself awash with new ideas, and new thoughts with re arranging my manuscript, and adding to it. Starting it differently.
Being more descriptive. Taking my time. Fixing it instead of scrapping it. Sometimes I'm so obsessive, that I don't give my mind time to relax and work. Kind of like not being able to see the forest for the trees.

A happy post. What a change.

I should have planned this better

The primary story I have been working on just took a shit on me. I have realized that the manuscript is just absolutely littered with problems. Tons of incorrect tense, he looked, as opposed to he looks, and such. Too many characters. Not to mention aesthetics, such as too many similar sounding names. I'm so frustrated with it.
I just might scrap it. I know that I have a solid story concept. I know that I have a solid story twist. And I know that I have a great ending. I just can't seem to figure out the best way to fill in what I don't know. I haven't posted this particular story on here. It is my primary project. Or maybe was. I don't know anymore. Feel free to comment. Thanks.

I'm so fucking depressed

For no good reason.

Don't you hate it when...

You write a section of your manuscript a certain way, and something that you paid little attention to ends up being so important, that you have to go back over your story and rewrite chunks of it, in order to move forward? Maybe I'm just a weirdo.

Since my last bout with motivation

I've managed to write 500 words every day. I feel it's actually getting easier. My dialogue framing is getting better as well. I am actually happy with how it's been going.

Damn it I'm doing it again

I kept a blog before this one for a long time, and stayed anonymous, because I was afraid that if my ideas and whatever actually had my name on them, I would start to censor myself. What if people get upset at what I think, what if people don't want to be associated with me, what if I disappoint people, or offend people, or lose friends,
what if what if what if. And I'm doing it again. Not saying things I want to say, because I do want people to look at my blog. I want to promote it, and make friends with it, and connect with others through it. I had a surprising amount of friends on the old blog. I was totally candid. But I never showed it to anyone who could connect it to me. I wanted to avoid that this time. But it looks like it is going to be a tough road. I'm very upset with myself.

Holy Shit! "Inception" WOW

This film has really had a huge impact on me. It's a mindfuck of the highest order, and very inspirational as the story is so imaginative, so amazing, that it makes me want to strive to be more creative with my own work. Just incredible.

Pill Paranoia

Sometimes I think I know too much for my own good. I'm generally paranoid, and I do asinine things sometimes because of it. Case in point, I know that ibuprofen (Motrin) is metabolized by your kidneys, and that acetaminophen (Tylenol) is metabolized by your liver. So if I go too long using one of them, I feel like I am putting a strain on my kidneys/liver, and will avoid taking anything for my headaches, muscle aches, asshole aches, etc, until I can get the other one.

Doing some additions to "Karma Now, Pay Later"

Additions are now done, added about 700 words. Drafting out some story elements to help guide me. Read and comment!

Ta Ta!

Boogers

I feel like I have boogies in my nose, but can't remove them. All I seem to get hold of are bits that will give me a nose bleed if I pick at them. Probably the cold air or something, who knows. For those of you that went yuck, quit being a fucking hypocrite. You pick your nose same as I do. I'm just honest about it ;)
