Writing Updates: Dry Curry - Flare
Thankfully, I got all my homework done for the week. I’m going to copy down my schedule for next week today and maybe get some of the reading done early. And because I read often, I’ve already read part of the work for my English class. And somehow Cherri talked me into making a new banner for her blog. I don’t even know how it happened. That’s done. I need to write now. But feeling more or less in the same funk as before.
Make way for free writing…(even though it’s more like rambling!)Want to write. Don’t know what to write. End up circling my ideas. Over and over, round and round, annoyed that I won’t just sit down and work on Flare. Need too. Kind of want too. Feeling a bit tired, but have the ideas to write. Just no drive to sit down and actually do it! Hah. Effort. Feeling lazy, not quite burned out. Focused on finishing school. It’s been on my mind a lot since I might have to take two extra math classes to graduate. And I know I can pass them, I’m just bummed I have to do it. I really don’t want to talk extra math classes but I have to do it so that I can take the one math class I really need. It doesn’t really set me back. And I might be a little concerned with the idea of classes being eight weeks starting in the fall. I know I can do it. I can easily get it, it just bugs me that basically, and I’ll be taking midterms and finals at the same time for two classes. That is in one class it will be midterm and in another it will be finals. I feel like it’s going to be frustrating. I’m also a little frustrated I still haven’t found a solution for the problem in Flare. Even though I have it outlined (or part of it rather), the bunnies still haven’t shown me a logical or reasonable solution - and it kind of it’s me off. And that’s one reason I’m lagging on writing it. I just fixed several typos and you’re not supposed to do that in free writing. You’re just supposed to write whatever comes to mind, help get the ideas flowing. But, its part of my process to try and fix them (always keeps me working, helps my mind ease through things). Besides, it’s my free writing. If I wanna break to fix typos I will. I try and do this for five minutes too, but I get sidetracked very easily. It’d be one thing if I was free writing ideas for a story, which I think I ought to do more often than I do. And that might actually help me connect dots and work out points for Flare. I should probably do that rather than just ramble about things. Though it did need to be said I’m mildly concerned about fall classes - and the relevance for that is that I end summer term on August 21 and my math class starts on August 22, so there’s no actually break between summer and fall term for me. And I wonder if I’ll lose my mind. I don’t plan on that though, so I should be okay. I’m not overworking myself; I just want to be done. I know I can do this easily; it’s just that before I dive into it, I have a few concerns. None of which can be addressed before I actually get into the class. Does this count as free writing if I’m rambling about school instead of writing?! Well, I guess it can since I spend a lot of school writing too.
More free writing! This time about writing…I want to focus on writing Flare, since I know if I worked on it I could finish it. I have one chapter outlined, maybe two. So I can just work from there. But I’m concerned about where I’ll go from there. And I know I shouldn’t worry about it. But I’d really like to outline it all and work through it that way. Since it’s not something I normally do. I think it would be a great asset in my writing to write out an outline and actually stick to it. But I get bored and fickle and start to wing it. And it’s not like it turns out bad or anything, I’d just really like to sit down and make a plan and complete it! Which I know I’m capable of in anything except for my writing. So, Flare! FLARE. Tama’s talked to Mark, Rae, and Vaughn at this point. Need to bring Cheryl and James back in. They’re beginning to just be this ominous presence in the story, which isn’t bad. I like that, I want that. I just want them to be tangible too - which they’re not. And that’s part of what makes the conflict hard to resolve. Even if everything pans out, sorry doesn’t cut it. Nothing will be the same and even if the thieves went to jail it still leaves deep and tedious scars. It’s not just something one can get over and it’s going to leave a bitter after taste. If the thieves get away then Taiyou Ranch suffers from losing money (as well as Sunshine Islands). But more than that, it leaves a bad door opened. If they get away, then nothing gets solved at all. But getting away or getting caught aren’t logical or reasonable solutions. There’s got to be something else I can do. (Also no Word, you can’t change “aren’t” to “isn’t” so stop trying). I would love to come up with a sort of middle ground, but redemption or the thieves reforming is absurd. They have a history of doing the wrong thing that even a heartfelt apology would be awkward and unbelievable. Again, sorry doesn’t cut it and I’m left without a solution. There’s no way to “make it right.” One solution is to just destroy the economy and lives on Sunshine Island, but that’s not really a solution either. I can’t merely go in and just throw everything around (I could but it doesn’t work). I want a workable solution and I just can’t seem to see one, yet. YET. I’m hoping there is one. But I just can’t see it. I think if I keep writing, all will work out. In fact, I could be pretty close to done if I had a solution. And without the solution, I don’t really have an ending. And there’s also the explanation of why things are happening that I probably ought to go through. Hmm, I just thought of a possible solution But it still feels unrealistic. Deus Ex Machina - that’s what it’d be. I mean, I could do it. There is a Goddess that could solve everything. But I’m not sure I like the idea of her just poofing the problem away. It seem kind of lazy…hmm, but maybe not so much Haru doing everything. That’s something to think about. Karma might be a wondrous thing to include too, but again, that would be oddly difficult to utilize. Haru has to be at the center of my solution though! That will work. It’s the other little details that I’m not sure about. Although I have been setting up for a solution. Vaughn knows what’s going on. Rae’s been warned. Mark’s ready to break some skulls, Tama’s going over the books. Things are happening; I just need to piece them all together. Ah! Yes! I’m getting a workable solution.
