runaground
I started writing a new novel tonight. I don’t know why exactly, but I just had this urge to write. I don’t really have a plot in mind, I’m just making things up as I go. I think it might be fanfiction, perhaps something in the vein of HIM fanfiction, although I’m not positive. I’ve only ever tried to write fanfiction once so I think I’d like to take a stab at it again.
All I know so far about my novel is that I’m liberally stealing lyrics and inserting them into my novel. This of course means I’ll never get it published, but I don’t mind. I like writing just for myself; it eliminates the fear and the hesitation of what to write and how to write it. I can write what I want to write without criticism or comment.
The lyrics of a couple James songs were the main inspiration for my story so far. Runaground was the basis of the main character’s past; of her breakup and her moving on into the novel I’m writing. Actually, Runaground was what made me want to write in the first place, I wanted to create something as a nod towards one of my favourite songs. I’ve also decided to name my novel accordingly, it fits, I think.
My main character I've decided to base upon Elliott Smith. He also deserves a nod towards. Even more, actually, considering he's dead. I think writing about a woman much like him will be very refreshing and emotional; depression, drugs, chain-smoking, shyness and suicide are all taxing topics. They make me see things more clearly. They make something churn inside me. I know I'll be able to write something beatiful and poetic as a tribute to him.
I like Runaground so far. It comforts me to write again; it contents me. I feel drowsy and dreamy everytime I think about it.
