Mar. 12th, 2009 04:03 amIf you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNaWriMo or what have you, post exactly one sentence a paragraph or two from each of your current works in progress in your journal.
( origific, south park, iron man, supernatural, the lost boys, speed racer, transformers, tales of symphonia, newsies and uh, kiss kiss bang bang, and even an excerpt of a webcomic script )
My hard drive contains so many more WIPs than that, man. It's a wonder I get anything done. No, wait. I mean, "It's [no] wonder I getanything [nothing] done."

My first attempts to learn to knit have been met with failure, it's depressing. I think the yarn the lady in the store showed me is too fuzzy, I can't see what the hell I'm doing it and irritates me.
The one thing I want to do this year is write more. Not just fic, but actual original stuff—I've just finally put another idea I've had for the last few weeks down on paper, and I'd like to actually, you know, work on it. The only thing that bugs me is that the heroines I write tend to lean towards being bitchy, powerful, and mentally unstable, and this girl is a regular, wimpy person with awesome motivations like a crush on a boy and wanting to be with him!
My main characters are almost always women, should I try and change that, I wonder? It's not as though the heroines are running together in my mind. Even Merik and Cassidy, the two characters who have a ton in common—they both evolved from a character I made up when I was twelve so it's like they're related—have really distinctly separate personalities, I'm pretty sure. And when it comes to the principle characters I invent, men and women are pretty equally represented.
I don't know, it's just something I've noticed about my writing, and it's a little strange when you consider the fact that when it comes to fiction I enjoy, it's generally the male characters that are my favorites. But it's probably natural, I guess, that I'd wonder what Bizarre Situation X would look like from Random Chick Z's point-of-view, since I'm a girl, after all.
Hm, worth thinking about.
Well, wasn't that exciting! In other news, I'm thinking about, uh, not getting a food plan or taking any student loan money to cover meals. This'll motivate me to get a job all the quicker, right?

Writerly things all day, man, not to mention talking with strangers for about five hours straight. Just a little brain tired, here.
