my brain is a random number generator...

I do not know why, but the writing prompts over on staringout always end up making me think of Jack and Ianto. Case in point:

Today's Prompts:

+ "Love gets me into more trouble than hate ever could."

Immediately I start thinking of Ianto writing a diary entry.

Also in writing news I may have figured out -- as I was drifting off to sleep last night -- a way to frame the writing that I need to do in order to figure out some stuff about an idea I have for some original fiction. I don't have a plot yet, but I may have found a way to figure out how to find one. I wish I could be one of those people who can just start writing and tell a story. Me, I gotta write around the story for awhile...

It's like how I always gotta start everything with a collage, and let the pieces tell me the larger story. My brain must be a really interesting place!!

It's rainy and horrible here today. But no matter how icky I think that is, it's probably not nearly as icky as it is to the students who have been camped out in their pup tents for two days now outside the killer stadium so they can be first in line for the student seats.

I did not pack a lunch, so I will have to venture out to procure food. I also have a Michaels coupon burning a hole in my pocket. And a heat gun I need to get for class next week. Hmmm.....

Hitting the snooze alarm 75 times is somewhat counterproductive.

My cat still hates the bathmat. They have nightly wrestling matches. I do not understand this.

If I was a motivated person, I would spend the weekend carting my thousands of books out into the garage so that I can paint the room they are in.

Anyway... I suppose I should get back to work. Have emails to send.

Happy Friday!!

here's hoping if I dance around the story long enough it will tell me what it's about...!!!

I use a lot of "collaged" scenes early on, too. It's only fairly late in the writing that the structure really becomes apparent to me. Before then it's all ear and gut, and magpie instincts!

So commune with that inner 12-year-old, and write away...

YAY magpies. So me. OOOO what's that... something shiny? Oh yes please.

now to actually write, and not just sit around thinking about writing :0)
