brainstorm

watching doctor who, thinking about enders game and thinking about writing something that has to do with space. and war.

note to myself: ashes and snow, aliens and fear, organizations and conspiracies, wars

loking at the books that i tend to read over and over again, most of them have to do with scifi or fantasy, include brawls/romance, and have strong, unlikely heroes (e.g. female knights, adolescent nerds, maladjusted children, generally "weak"). so i'd probably write a book pertaining to a lot of those.

reading back to some of my old things, i find that i am also very graphic in regards to many of my details. don't know if that's a good thing or not, but i guess we'll see!

also, i have done something to irritate the inner, upper left part of my gums. they're very sensitive and i'm trying to eat carrots, which is now proving painful. but it's carrots with hummus, so i'm going to keep eating...

anyway, back to the storm.

mystery? most books i have also exude feelings of mystery and the unknown, but i don't think i'm clever enough to think that far ahead, seeing as how i'm having trouble even starting. i might be able to incorporate something like it once i get my bearings and just start the damn process.

i have a feeling it's going to take me a day or two to get the first sentence typed. but once i get over that first hurdle, i feel like i could really get some momentum going! good thing i'm nice and unemployed this november. it's gonna free up so much time for writing! might even pass the 50,000 word mark but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

adventure stories. i'm thinking more 'lord of the rings' in the sense that there is a task that needs completing and my story can be about that journey.

or this could just be completely about something i've dreamed about having in real life but, of course, could never have because this world does not work the way i want it to.

note: gang. assassin.

you know what's kind of weird? how much assassin looks like "asian." one could also say there's a lot of ass in assassin, which doesn't have anything to do with asian so really, i'm just going off topic here.

maybe i'll write one of those "point of view" stories. you know? the ones where it's written in the point of view of someone who's really unlikely. like, what if i wrote a story in the point of view of a civilian living in a town with superheroes and supervillans? i don't think there'd be a lot to write about, but it would definitely be interesting. stevie mentioned the concept of having like a whole bunch of short stories so i wonder if i could try something like that too...

i have no idea. still in the thinking stage! once this brainstorm is filtered down into a braindrizzle and then a light brainfog, mayhaps i will be able to figure out what the heck i wanna write about.

also, my mouth hurts. damn you, delicious hummus and carrots. damn you.
