My writing ramblings and ramblings about writing. May sometimes contain explicit content. |
I have more story ideas than I know what to do with. It's freaky really, my brain is constantly thinking up plots. It's a wonder I made it through school at all! (laughs) I can make a plot out of anything, really. I can look at a pair of glasses or a pencil and it'll give a story idea. I don't think that's very normal, having a mind that is constantly zipping along with plots and characters but I really wouldn't have my mind any other way. My greatest fear is any kind of mental disease where my mind will deteriorate. I could handle a physical illness but not something where I will lose my mind and this wonderful gift of imagination that I have. It's much too precious to me. I have more ideas than I will ever live to develop. My idea folders are constantly full, kind of like my To Be Read book piles. I have dozens of unfinished novels. If I never come up with another idea, I could easily keep myself busy throughout my lifetime just on the ideas I have in progress now and in my folders. It's wonderfully exhausting. After Four Winds, I already have my next novel three quarters of the way done. I haven't been bored a day in my life since I was 11 and first began to write. I know I'm not normal. I'm a writer and that's a lot more fun. |
