I've got three writing deadlines to think about. There's the randomhouse, the nanowrimo, and last but never least, the ghost story collaborations with d.
but who am i kidding, here? i'm not a writer! i'm barely hanging on as a person!!
my focus, at the moment, is honestly the strange sensation behind my eyelids. after all, i can't write (or read for that matter) if i can't see. and i hope i'm not going blind.. at least not yet.
i have a confession now. a confession that isn't really a confession: i bought a book in el paso when i'd reached the everlasting apex of irritation because of my traveling companion and man, r. i bought a writing aid book that offers exciting and innovative writing exercises to the aspiring and struggling and empty writers of the world. its called the 3am epiphany. the first exercise i picked randomly was one in which i was to write a death scene. i was to write that there was a person on his or her deathbed who had a change of mind/heart about some fundamental concern of his or hers.
we were traveling through texas at the time. we were leaving el paso. i decided then, as i was explaining it out loud to r, that i was going to attempt writing very bland and unembellished works.
"i'm going to try n' write bland-like, y'know? just the facts and nothing too psychological."
i don't want to get into that habit, any more so than i already have, of losing my reader.
it happens to often and i'm getting tired of defending and explaining myself.
i was and am still excited about the purchase. most especially because i was originally going to buy a self-help book called something like getting control of your anger. my intention was to give it to r. but i doubt he'd ever read anything that could be anything like the kind of fiction i'd attempt.
and none of this makes much sense anymore. i blame it on the melodic sounds of pinback in my ears.
