Caught up in imaginary worlds	[Apr. 29th, 2007\|05:37 pm] Created Worlds
My life, right now, seems to revolve around a never ending stream of imaginary worlds. This is both work and play. I am emotionally invested in each. Sometimes, I wonder if it is too much. If I've become too distant from reality because of it. Then, he smiles at me from across the room or my phone burbles with a text message and I smile, knowing that there is at least one thing in this reality that keeps me here.

Beautiful	[Apr. 12th, 2007\|10:32 am] Created Worlds
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder An ugly body can hide a beautiful soul A beautiful body can hide an ugly soul What happens when an ugly body displays an ugly soul? Or A beautiful body displays a beautiful one? What happens when people make the wrong assumption And decide that the beautiful façade is all that the pretty face is? Pretty is as pretty does. "You are so beautiful." I can hear the venom dripping from the backs of their tongues. Who is the ugly one now?

Graphomania	[Mar. 25th, 2007\|01:46 pm] Created Worlds
Graphomania is not a mania to write letters, personal diaries, or family chronicles (to write for oneself or one's close relations) but a mania to write books (to have a public of unknown readers). I do not know if I am suffering from Graphomania or not. I do know that as I reach the home stretch of the novel I am currently working on, my mind has begun a small argument on what I should work on next (that doesn't involve any of the contract fiction and non-fiction stuff I am already contracted to do.) I have the young adult book (series?) that I have in the queue next. But the second part of a novel in edit is rearing its head and demanding attention. Now, a completely new book idea has popped up and is making noises all over the place. I think I'm going to stick to the young adult book (series?) since I've done all sorts of prep and research for it. But, it doesn't stop the clamoring of the other stories in my head.

Extroverted Writer	[Mar. 8th, 2007\|05:59 pm] Created Worlds
For the first time, I've met a truly extroverted author. In my experience, authors are introverted, goal oriented people. This one is very much an extrovert. I find myself watching her a lot when we are out in public. I watch her interact with new people. She seems to fearlessly throw herself into a middle of a crowd and say "Here I am! Love me!" Most of the time, my thought is "Here I am! Love what I have done." This is very interesting to me.

When did being creative become a detriment?	[Feb. 24th, 2007\|03:57 pm] Created Worlds
The guy I was kinda-sorta seeing decided to celebrate Valentine's Day by breaking up with me via email. First, I didn't know I was seeing him seriously enough to have him break up with me. Second, Valentine's Day is a sucky day to break up with someone. Period. Third, via email? Thanks. One of the reasons he cited for the break up (after a long list of compliments about me - you're pretty, sexy, fun, etc...) was the fact that I wasn't practical enough. Everyone who knows me has given me the WTF look at that comment - considering I'm one of the most practical and responsible people I know. His reasoning was that I was "always in my head, imagining fantastic things to write about" while he was so "down to earth" that in the end, it just wouldn't work. Yeah. This from a guy I've been casually seeing for 3 months. It tells me that he really didn't get me. He didn't understand that I have worked for years, literally, to get to a point where I could take a year and do nothing but write. Even so, I guess he didn't understand one of the reasons for me to pick up some non-fiction freelancing was so I don't have to dig too deeply in the money I already set aside for this year. Apparently, that's not practical enough. Meh. I'm a bit bitter by this experience. It's one thing to be broken up with by someone. It's another to be broken up with by someone for incorrectly perceived opinions.

One of THOSE People	[Jan. 27th, 2007\|10:01 pm] Created Worlds
I was at a housewarming party tonight. It was a pretty good party. But, there were a lot of people there I did not know. That makes me uncomfortable being shy and all. I'm an author because I like to be behind the scenes. I'm afraid I'm becoming one of THOSE people. You know; the ones who can only speak about one thing and only that one thing. This usually happens to new parents. They have nothing to talk about unless it involves the baby. I am beginning to feel that way about my writing, editing and efforts to get published. I tried to think of something else to talk about but my work outs have stalled and my travel doesn't seem that interesting to me. Granted, most of these people had not been around me in a long time (or at all) so they were vastly entertained by the fact that I am "a working author" and I'm doing it on my terms. But, I'm really hoping that I have more interesting things to talk about in upcoming months. There are only so many times you can talk about agents, the creative process and slush piles before people wish they were deaf.

What turns you on?	[Jan. 14th, 2007\|01:13 pm] Created Worlds
I've got a commission to write an erotic piece and I'm casting about to see what to write about. I know the story but what I'm looking for are the words, types of words and descriptions that really get your blood pumping. What is it? Brief descriptions? Long ones? Details? Not detailed?

Escapism, coping or something else?	[Jan. 8th, 2007\|09:09 pm] Created Worlds
Lately, when something unpleasant happens to me, I find myself stepping back from it emotionally to look at it from an author's POV. In specific, I wonder how I can use this in my future writings. I wonder if it is a version of passive-aggressiveness. "Wrong me and a piece of you will show up in a future story in an unflattering light." I can't tell if this is a new coping mechanism, escapism or what and that bothers me.

Death & Rebirth	[Dec. 31st, 2006\|03:40 pm] Created Worlds
I am slowly dying the death of rebirth. Pain, fear, anticipation - they are all here. I want to skip past the part of learning, and already have the wisdom of knowing. But with that jump, I would lose everything the wisdom of experience is worth. Let me be as the stone. Let it all wash over and through me. Let it permeate my existence. Let me know the pain. Let me remember it fondly. Let it be my river. I am slowly dying the death of rebirth. Hope, joy, anticipation - they are all here. I want to immerse myself in the part of learning, and earn the wisdom of knowing. With this immersion, I will gain everything the wisdom of experience is worth.
