I'm writing a novel!

Very recently this thought popped in my head,

"I'm going to write novel!"

Now, this thought has occurred to me ever since I knew books existed.  I've even started a few. Hell, I've even finished a few. True they didn't have a beginning or a middle.... Come to think of it, I've also come up with some good middles, I think. Good settings. Good dialogue. Never full book, though.

I have a love/hate relationship with writing. In other words, I'm an ambivalent writer.  I got the term from the book "The Forest For The Trees" by Besty Lerner. So far I've only read the first few chapters, but already I'd highly recommend it.

My biggest problem is focus.  I'm sure if I had a solid idea about what I *wanted* to write as far as genre goes I'd be able to put my nose to the grindstone and do it.  I've been told I should look what I read to figure out what genre of novel I should go for. OK. Let's see... What have I read recently...


Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Mitchelle
Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa
Just about every book written by Stephen King
The Never Ending Story by Michale End
Child of the Jungle by Sabine Kuegler
Phantom by Susan Kay
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
A bunch of books on Library Science, Writing, Non-Profit, and Animal related Careers
Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise? by David Feldman
Etc... by Everyone Else

Ok..so we have Travel, Manga, Action, Horror, Fantasy, Mystery, Non-fiction...anything I'm missing in that?  That certainly narrows it down.  Granted that's only what I've read in the past couple of months. 

So that really isn't helping me. LOL. I have it in mind to write a fantasy Novel, but then what if that becomes a hit and I get labeled as a fantasy writer and then I decide I want to write a crime Novel? or a Horror Novel? Or a romance Novel (Ok..I'm never doing that, actually)? And why do I keep writing Novel with a capital n?

How can I be a bestselling author if I'm afraid of being a best selling author?  How is it I can't think of anything to write and yet I'm writing about not being able to write?

Yesterday I wore the spiked codpiece....OF DOOM!

And then I had a scary-ass dream.  A nightmare.  A night TERROR.  Thankfully, it was clown free.  Still, it was disturbing and unhappy and I was tricked into it! I was having a good dream, then I woke up and thought "I want to get back into that!" and forced myself gently down into dreamland.  What was there? My nice dream? NO! It was this freaking nightmare. 


I don't even know if I want to describe it.  It's rather involved and I don't want to give my brain any suggestions.  I don't want this to turn into a recurring nightmare.  Hell, I don't even know if anyone is reading this or would care for the details.  If you are and you do, post a comment and I'll think about it XP


One good thing...my nightmares always tend to yield juicy ideas for stories.  This one was no different.

I know a dude who is so adorable he could rip your balls off and you'd still think, "OMG HE'S ADORABLE!"

You know who you are ^_~. 

Just got home from Der Munchkin Partay. What is a Munchkin Partay? It's a party where people play Munchkin...with an extra a in party...and a capital "p".  What is Munchkin? Look it up. I can't do all the work for you XXP


Short blog.  Head hurts.  Going to take some pills, watch the latest stuff on TGWTG.com, have naughty thoughts about Linkara and Phelous, and go sleepy-bye.

Twilight Eclipse: The Abridged Version

I have seen the physical form of pointless fodder and it is called "Twilight: Eclipse".   You know what this movie is? It's a filler episode.  There's no progression of the story, no character development and basically no plot. 

Allow me to offer an abridged version of this movie.

EDWARD: Marry Me
BELLA: No
EDWARD: Marry Me
BELLA: No
EDWARD: Marry Me
BELLA: ....Ok 

BELLA: Turn me into a vampire!
EDWARD: No
BELLA: Turn me into a vampire!
EDWARD: No
BELLA: Turn me into a vampire!
EDWARD: ....ok

EDWARD: The evil super strong newborns are coming to kill you.  You have to hide.
BELLA: No. I want to stay with you.
EDWARD: No. It's too dangerous!
BELLA: I want to stay with you!
EDWARD:...ok

SOMEONE: Let's team up!
VAMPIRES/WEREWOLVES: NO!
SOMEONE:.............................How 'bout now?
VAMPIRES/WEREWOLVES:...ok

JACOB: You love me!
BELLA: No
JACOB: You love me!
BELLA: No
JACOB: You love me!
BELLA: ....I LOVE YOU!
JACOB: Ha! I knew it!
BELLA: I love both you and Edward
JACOB: Soooooooo....that means I have a chance, right?
BELLA: No. Team Edward won, so I love him slightly more than you. 

DAKOTA FANNING: We've decided to spare your life
GIRL FROM SILENT HILL: Really?
DAKOTA FANNING: Nope.
GIRL FROM SILENT HILL: *is killed*


END.


Oh, there's a fight in there somewhere, but it's not important. Ever heard the phrase, "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight?" Well, the SUPERDUPERPOWERFULBLOODCRAZYNEWBORNSOFDOOM brought a letter opener against the Death Star.  It was so one sided even the choreography wasn't enjoyable to watch.

Oh! And Almost forgot this scene.  Blink during the actual movie and you'll miss it too.

VICTORIA: I've come to kill Bella!
EDWARD: *points* Look over there!
VICTORIA: *looks* huh? I don't see anything.
EDWARD: *rips her head off* 

QUICK! DON'T LET THAT KUMQUAT GET AWAY!

Hello, and welcome to my blog.  I used to do this all the time, but now I'm having trouble coming up with what to write about.  During my former blogging days I just wrote whatever I was thinking.  Now I'm thinking about what to write, so I'm writing about thinking about what to write.

I just joined twitter for some reason.  What reason is that? LINKARA! He's a man *punch!* wears a purdy hat. If anyone understands that, we should be friends.  If you don't, I'll explain it and then we can be friends. Win-win, baby.   Anywhooz, my twitter addy is http://twitter.com/sexy_and_geeky.  Why sexy and geeky? Damn...that just made me think of The Nostalgia Critic...Anyway, that was a compliment I got today.  I was going to be theotherwoman, which is a web reviewer persona I'm making, but it was taken as was the_other_woman.  So I went with that.  It'll still apply if my plans come to fruition and I get a following.

 Lesse..what else...what else...OH! I had a dream last night....WHILE I WAS SLEEPING!!!! Crazy, no? It was a really good dream, too.  Sometimes is sucks having good dreams because you eventually have to wake up.  During mine I was walking arm and arm with this guy I'm kind of sweet on. We were talking about zombies and aliens, you know, usual lovey-dovey talk and about how I wished I didn't have to settle for the 'dream version' of him.  He was talking and I was about to interrupt him and just say "Kiss me." when I started to wake up. I fought to stay in the dream, but it was no use.  I tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't.  *sigh*    I've had quite a few dreams about this guy.  It's odd.  Usually when I want to dream about someone it never happens or takes months of getting them stuck in my brain to dream about them and even then it might not be a good dream.   My brain also has the terrible habit of having a passing thought about something I don't like and making me dream about it TWO FUCKING NIGHTS IN A ROW.  

Well, that's all I have to say...or type, really.  I'm not actually speaking, after all XP.   mua ha ha ha.
