Two hours left of work (assuming I push myself to that 4:00 mark), and The Washington Post Online went down for maintenance. I'm out of other things to read; therefore, I post.
I have a few ideas for stories buzzing around right now. One is a short, probably mostly dialogue piece about a writer and his muse. There's always the fantasy piece that I keep meaning to work on, but that I instead look at with dread terror. (Given that it has at least three seperate plots, all of which I find interesting and could work well together, it would be a huge undertaking to try and start, let alone complete.) Then there's always erotica. Or I could write Aberrant fanfiction, because that's easy and I already understand the characters without having to grasp for them.
I think my problem may stem from not just laziness, but also a worry that I'm making one-dimensional character---
DARRELL STOP SCREECHING YOUR CHAIR KTHXDIE.
Ahem, sorry.
--a worry that I'm making one-dimensional characters. Roleplaying helps this! But roleplaying also makes me feel like an R. A. Salvatore loser that wanks off because her 20th level drow wizard/fighter ISSOCOOL *wankity wank wank*.
Then again, Salvatore gets paid, and probably quite a lot.
This fear also doesn't prevent me from wanting to write the script for JACE: The Movie, but only because I NEED to use the tagline: "Some vampires are destined for greatness. Others are destined to die in the backseat of a van."
( Ranting about Jace )
Anyway... maybe I'll just start a Very Secret Diary for Vicki. That'd be humorous AND time-consuming!
