Anime and Witing
"Kanon" just seems to reinforce that common stereotype that odd things happening at night in Japanese schools.
It's a serious epidemic that surely needs to be looked into.
Officially out of the writer's block (Ta-daa!) which needless to say makes me freaking ecstatic. I haven't been able to free-write since my days back at FSC. I am noting subtle changes, like with descriptions and just general structure of the poems and stuff. It all flows so well, much better than it use to, and the wording is simple yet descriptive.
Either way I am quite excited, despite the other stuff happening in my life.
At this point I have an epic (ten minute read) poem, two threes, and a nice unexpected little thought process story that just sort of came on a whim.
Oh, and on Sunday's I've been going to this cool open mic night down on Main Street at the Java Hut. I have only been going there about two weeks but for the most part, just listening to people read, not necessarily what they have created, other pieces in general, really just screwed with my thought process in general - in a good way. For a while I was trying to make things complicated and descriptive by using odd combinations of words to describe simple things. It always looked somewhat good (I am truly my hardest critic) but when I hear people read stuff like that aloud it just doesn't seem right in person.
So I have just resorted to writing things as I see them, and being somewhat content with that.
Lately I have been trouncing down there with Alana, a good friend of mine from high school - more on her hopefully later. Unfortunately she is not going to be able to come down this week, which means I'll be going alone. While I do have stuff I would dearly hope to present unfortunately there is going to be a competition, and while I don't mind participating the issue is that I don't know if I will have two poems that I am comfortable with performing. I presently have one - groomed it pretty well, if I do say myself - but I don't know if I will have a second done in time.
I do have some time until then, and I know I will have at least one day off between now and then. It's just that all of this has been coming so naturally, I just really don't want to force it and make a mess of it before I can get moral support from a group of people who barely know me.
Damn late night musing, me with the boring talk and such. I'll go back to webcomics and notoriously sad girls in snow so I don't have to bother you guys with my incessant ramblings.
