So, I wrote a story I'm sort of proud of, and I want to do more.
Here's the catch; Say I start with an idea, and I want to really go with it.... well, there's a forelorn hope, almost immediately. I can't do this shit while thinking about it, apparently. I've attempted several stories since then, with clear, concise themes and frameworks. I have hated all of them about 4 sentences in. It seems that if I dont surprise myself, I can't stand the crap I write. It seems as though I have to just basically write things in an inconcievably spontaneous manner, and then hope it turns out intelligent, entertaining, or (hopefully!) both. At the same time, even.
Honestly! I can give out a title, and then within a matter of minutes already be bored with this story that goes somewhere so obvious to me that I might as well just not write it. What the hell.
