Today as I was compiling a list of books that I want to read during my co-op work term in January I started to look into Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott. I watched a video where she explained that she had the same dream three nights in a row and after that she just had to tell Alice’s story. Then that got me to thinking, what pushes someone to just write? Like why is it so important to writers to get this ONE person’s story out there? They’re not technically real people, and truth be said, they won’t be disappointed if they don’t become the next Bella Swan or Harry Potter, having their story loved (or loathed in the case of Bella) by so many.
So why do we feel like people need to know them? It’s really odd. Today I started a story that I had no intention of starting for another couple of years, until after the trilogy I had planned is finished. But the need of the characters’ stories to be told just over took me. These two characters, their story is so intertwined with each other even though they technically never meet in person. And I just feel like they can’t sit back and wait for me to be ready for them. I feel like I’m being forced into this, that’s how strong their need is.
And here I am talking about them like they’re real, like they hold influence over me. But they do. They really do. -__- This is what happens when you’re a writer. At least, in my definition of writing anyways. Now 250 words later I have started this story which will probably be finished before any other story I’m writing right now.
Otherwise, I got Adam Lambert’s new album. I always liked him since Idol and I have to say I really enjoy his album, completely and thoroughly. It’s rare when I like EVERY song on an album but this one is just really good. I realize now just how sexual For Your Entertainment is…. o_O But my favourites have to be: Whataya Want From Me, If I Had You, Music Again, and For Your Entertainment.
Actually the only thing I like from Music Again is really the chorus when they say ‘Oh you make me want to listen to music again’.
Ok, I’m off to do stuff. See ya~
