I like it that way. A lot of the time, I hear people say they like to read because when they open a book the images come to life. A new dimension springs forth from the pages and imagination replaces the laws of physics. That's exactly what happens when I write. I don't do it nearly enough for my liking.
It's my little form of escapism, creation, and bliss. I can create any character, and by the time I have completed their story, I sometimes feel like it's no longer just me creating who they are. My characters are my children, and they take on life of their own.
Now I sound like a crazy person, but I feel like anyone that writes might feel the same way. I really want to do a collaborative project. I think it would inspire me in ways I have not yet had the pleasure of experiencing.
...If I ever find someone willing to be my co-author, that is. My basic idea for it is to alternate chapters, and by the end of the piece have the two stories make complete sense as one. I think it could have the potential to be really cool. I've read pieces with a similar concept before, but I want to make it different. That's too vague to sound intelligent... The idea needs to be fleshed out.
In a perfect world; I could gain enough recognition through my modeling to make a name for myself as a writer. Beauty fades, but passion never dies, and boy do I have a mad love for writing. As an art form, it is my favorite medium. Since the world isn't perfect, I really should get on the ball pertaining to writing. There are a million blogs/websites/magazines out there that desperately need writers, and with some work I think I could be a great contributor. I know a little about a lot, have a (sometimes creepy) good memory, and love to express myself. I just have to make myself go for it. It's easy to try and fail when you're not fully invested in something which is why I've gone after so much and been fine when some of it doesn't work out. This is different, though. This is something that if I fail at, I will have to resign myself to a 9-5- something I have found to be the absolute antithesis of that in which I believe. Life is too short to not go out and live the best life you can imagine, and for me doing the same thing day after day will absolutely not cut it.
Blogging is helping me get back into the swing of writing every day, or at least couple of days and with a little work I'm hoping that I can transition from only the narcissistic, diary-like updates to the fiction/memoirs/inspiration that I would write for the rest of my life if I had the means. Maybe I'll start a second site for it. My OCD will not allow them to coexist. I thrive on organization, and a mixed media site doesn't mesh with the way I like to sort things.
I'll make this happen. I'm just not ready to give myself a deadline yet.
A few updates:
- I have officially eaten pho pretty much every day this week, and I'm not tired of it yet. Obsession? Maybe. Delicious? You better believe it.
- I took zero pictures today.
- Hello Panda is a super cute asian snack. Chocolate is better than strawberry.
- Related: Banana Hi-Chew tastes like wax.
- Neilsen's is still awesome.
- I am going to Tremonton/Logan this weekend. I alternate between excited and nervous.
- I still haven't hung my photos. Advice: never buy an 11x17 print; you will never find a frame.
- I don't know where all these damn bruises are coming from.
- You're awesome.
