Lordlyhour, Novelist Supreme? · 11:31am May 16th, 2012
Hello, my freinds. I have NEWS! Vis, I am planning on writing a NOVEL. Not for a while yet though. Right now, I'm just shaping the outlines of the plot.
I'm writing a fantasy Novel and I'm going to try to break away from the Standard fantastikal creatures that have become standard to fantasy. Orcs and elves have become a staple of the genre and that seems a little oxymoronic to me. Writing is the act of taking that which lives in your head and placing it on page so the world can contiue to grow without you. That so many people use the same old Cliches says to me that they're not really trying to IMAGINE things. Dwarves and Elves and Orcs and dragons are all well and good, but surely we can think of better creatures that that? Heh, sounds rather pretentious coming from someone who comes off as basically illeterate when he types anything, eh? Well, bah to that. I may crash and burn, I may sink ten years into something that comes out fruitless, but I'll have tried and thats all the really matters.
In other actually Pony news, My fic hasn't really advanced at all since I last mentioned it. I've been unable to write when I have been inspired and Uninspired when I've been able to write. Ah, the joy of your creativeness being Nocturnal with Diurnal people controlling when you're awakeI suppose it'll haopoen eventually. I really should get a laptop. *sigh*
Having a laptop does indeed help...for now,having a notebook is probably best for jotting down epiphanies and the like.
118599 Hah, Not with my handwriting.I'd be all like "MY GODS. BEST.IDEA.EVER." and write it down. Come back the next day and be all. ...Da Fuck is this? Basically illegible. :D But yeah, the ideas I COULD read would be helpful. I do tend to keep a copy of NotePAD open at all times though.
