smack me, i'm emo
Sunday, February 3rd, 2008 18:55I find myself feeling a bit sad and wistful at random. IDK. Maybe it's seasonal.
It fucks my writing mojo all to hell, and yet somehow I have written a little today. A page and a half in a wide-ruled composition book, but it's more than I manage some days. Even better, I know where I want it to go. It's not just a cute scene, there's a story. I'm stopped in the middle of something, and I'll be able to pick it up again, and keep it going.
I have some new ideas about structure, but I want to get the story down before I try anything fancy.
Back to it, then.
ETA: Wrote another four pages, for a grand total of five and a half. Also, I need to make a playlist for this thing. Because it's all very good to put all 3500 songs in my iTunes on shuffle, but skipping through shit that's just completely wrong for the story takes way too much time and messes with my flow.
Tomorrow, between classes, I might be able to finish enough of this thing to start the structural experiment I mentioned above. Fingers crossed.
