What is wrong with me?
I just can't put my finger on it and come up with a valid reason why I feel like this.
I've had this LJ since 2003. I've tried going in many different directions with it, but it always has been a place for me to just say how I feel or what's been happening lately in my life. It's also been a place for all of us to keep tabs on each other, before the inventions of Twitter and the Book of Faces. Now, there are those of us who still use it, but many have left the folds of LJ for various reasons.
I've tried going elsewhere to do other things. I have a DeviantArt account that holds the majority of my writings and what little photography I've done. It doesn't see much activity, and very few people I see on there still update. I just recently set up another site on Blogger for me to write other things, and I just can't seem to make it work.
So, why is it that I want to create ANOTHER blog on Wordpress now?!!!!!
Is it that, in my fit of NaNo insanity, I unlocked something? Some unknown force inside of me where the words come from? It sounds pretty silly, I know. When I started NaNo, I had an idea of a story from long ago. I had spent so much time trying to come up with this idea those years ago, but all I had was a layout of the world, and two points of interest. I took all of my old attempts of writing in that world and locked it away in a filing cabinet, and started fresh. 54,000 words later, I figured out the technology, created a ton of characters, blew up some things, and had a plot with beginning, middle, and end (in a way; it's still a first draft).
Then, something happened. On the last day of NaNo, in the final hours, the characters told me that there would be a sequel. Days later, I had an outline for it. I'm thinking that it'll be my NaNo project next year, because there are so many things happening between now and then that will get in the way.
But the words. Won't. Stop. Coming, no matter how much punctuation I throw at it. I want to write now more than ever. It's not just that I have the desire to put words down--I've always had that. Maybe this is what most novelists feel and I'm just now discovering it. I have so many things going on right now, but I could still sit at home and knock out a 5-10,000 word short story in a matter of a day or two, with my eyes closed!
And this Wordpress thing? I have no idea what it would be, but it would be fun to do. Maybe make it a catalog of my thoughts for editing my first novel? Or thoughts that go through my head when I write my second one?!! What are your thoughts on this? Am I crazy? Do I have the case of the shinies? I'd be interested to hear what you have to say.
