Maybe I talked about this before a long time ago? Oh well... I really wish there was an instrument (or tool, whatever you want to call it) that could translate my brain waves into writing! Is there anything like that?! That would so cool~
I've been distracting myself with silly things, but one of them was to change my profile picture on FF.net since I was reminded of Tsuki's comments about how creepy it looks to her (lol~). Anyways, looking at my profile, I get this overwhelming sense of "OMG! Why so many unworked projects?!" That's not even all the story ideas I had/have. It's just the main ones that I would actually love if they were finished... The woes of a crazy imagination. OTL
Not sure how your processes work, but when I write, I can usually visualize the scene while thinking of it in words - as strange as that sounds. Like... The images form in my mind as I literally piece together the words and sentences. So when I'm "in the zone" (which hasn't been for a long time), I can just write and have minimal editing. I can vaguely remember my days out in nowhere's-ville where I was spewing out stories left, right and center. Everything just flowed so well back then! I didn't even need prompting from anyone else!
Now... I'm stuck. I can still visualize what I want, but the words just don't come to me! *sigh*
In terms of progress, I got as far as writing another page on the cross-over (before getting stuck again) and typing up what's written of Back to You (Hei-Amber oneshot) onto the computer since that was on paper only. Besides that, nothing. I guess the lack of good sleep doesn't help at all. My brain feels like it just shut down.
But like I was saying about my process, I tend to think about writing at times when I can't be up writing (aka in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping). I can even think the whole scene through, but because I don't have time to actually write it down, I end up losing all those things, stuck back at square one. So if there was something that could capture all my thoughts down without having to write it out, then I could just go back to it. I've thought about dictation, but it would be kind of weird to literally talk to yourself... haha! At least you don't seem so crazy when you just talk to yourself in your head... XD
I honestly think I would totally do that if I lived by myself (since there's no one around to hear you crazy, lol), but because I don't... Yup. It would be way too weird.
