Explode, head. Explode.
My head feels so crammed full of stories at the moment that I think it is going to explode. Which is a good thing, I think, because it means I have a lot of stuff to write. But I'm scared a chapter of Wingbones (my novel) or a character of Derailed (my script for uni) will just fall out of my ear and I'll lose it and that chapter or that character will be lost forever to everyone.
Logic says to just write down everything in my head.. but it doesn't work like that. It has to boil away for a set amount of time in my head first. Kinda like boiling an egg: if i take the ideas out too early, i won't realise its too early until its too lat to put them back in and i just get gooey idea-yolk all over the page.
So, point is, I have an outline of how I want to end Wingbones in my head.... which is good seeing as how im 13,000 wods into it, I should begine to have an idea of where it is going. I have also spent this morning writing the first draft of my film script (first 10pages-ish due next friday) and the more I write, the more it solidifies in my head and the more ideas I have, and those ideas are fighting with the Wingbones ideas! Aargh!
Also got my Between Blinking short story to retype with an extra 1000 words to become more Brisbane-y for a competition. And I havent writen a fan-fic yet this week, but I still have time.
Oh, and the 1000-character childhood memory narrative to write IN JAPANESE in two weeks... but that won't be too hard. It just sounds daunting.
In under four hours I have my job interview at the ABC Shop... how exciting. I'm nervous, but not rediculously (go spelling) so. Like, I'm going for this job because I want it, not because I need it, so I should be able to stay calm and controlled in the interview, which will probably work in my favour.
Will let you all know how it goes tonight :)
Enough ranting, back to work.
