Recommended Posts

I like living in my own world. i spend so much time in other peoples' mine has a lot going for it.

Posted

I kind of seperate my life from my writing. For it makes it more fun.

 

Is this a bad thing to do?

 

I write extremely systematically as Cia, Nephy and Tiger already know by my notes :P

 

Actually that seems like a good idea. What's the secret?

I wanna have an ON-OFF-button in my brain... That would be perfect. But not gonna happen :funny:

 

For the past hmm... 5 nights at least I have not had any controll of my sleep. I've been battling with all kinds of stories, mine and others, and irl stuff mixing together, in a most disturbing ways.

 

Today I'm gonna try a new rule. I won't think about GA or my story or the readings I'm in middle of for a second. If I do so, I will cut down the ammount of time I spend daydreaming from my after work GA-time.

 

Wonder what's gonna happen...

I'll let you fellow addicts know how it went! That is if I get any GA-time left.... :wacko:

not gonna happen so i'll just sit here snickering at you

 

Yeah I wonder when this "no thinking about GA" thing is gonna start, 'cause she's messaging me so I know she's still online :P

Lol!

 

It's starting in one hour, and ending after 8 hours from this post. Mark my words, peeps, I'm gonna stay strong.

come on maria you can do this ;)

 

And Kingdom :) I break my entire story down into bullet points and then i break those down into further bullet points and from there i create my chapters :)

 

Plus it makes writing quicker and more efficient for me :) Plus i have 'stop' points that i use when i want to stop writing :) i know exactly where i can carry on from :)

You sound like a very organized person :P I use notes, too, but they're not really bullet points- more like phrases to guide me. And I know where I want to end chapters, usually, but just because I've reached the end doesn't mean I'm ready to stop thinking about what I just wrote :wacko:

bullet points all in a row = out line

 

remember johnny is in school

 

he is still learning to be a writer

 

he'll give that up when he breaks out of the box of formulaistic writing

Jej! I survived the day! Only little setback was when I read my emails and saw some comments from GA and read them... That doesn't count, right...

 

Now I can focus on the important stuff and spend all of my Saturday night reading and writing and generally hanging out here.

OMG I have no social life... It's Saturday :o

LOL. Hm, I dunno, reading GA comments might have been cheating.

 

And what do you mean, socializing here doesn't count??

Oh, it counts hon! But also supports the addiction :devil:

Lol, my name is Cj and I'm an addicted author... 0.o

 

Wait, we're definitely supporting the habit, right?

 

Oh yes!! definitely supporting the habit!!

I don't think anyone would have it any other way! :D

Another serious symptom of addiction... I'm starting to feel like putting together more poetry as well. Like today, at work, I felt a very powerful urge to start a new poem and I actually did...

 

Doctor!!!!!!!! I need a doctor!!!!!!!!!!
