State of the AJ -- April 2014

[ariestess]

It's been a while... A while since I last did a "State of the AJ" post. A while since I posted much of anything of any consequence here... I could go into reasons, but that would be boring for most people plus it's kind of covered in the info below.

good to see you're still kicking along at least :) poor old livejournal - it's just not as shiny for folks as tumblr and twitter and the book of faces. (the last i don't use much, the middle is kind of meh for me right now, but i do like the former, in terms of pretty pictures.)

at the beginning of march, my pretty laptop went kerplooey, so now i have a meh desktop that works all right, but it's no great shakes. still, it lets me write, which is really all i care about in a significant way.

and don't knock your writing - any writing is worth it so long as it gives you joy.

Oh, I'm okay with having a lot of writing, just wish it was something more tangible, I guess...

why not use the lines of your RP stuff to create weird poetry? cut words out of sentences to make new ones, and such... or pick one sentence that's particularly strong for you and jump off into a freewrite 1 paragraph story?

when my writing gets... boggy, I generally close my eyes and try to imagine myself as the character and then go from there. Either that, or I work on something graphic. I find the one art helps to fuel the other.

Oh, that's a good idea, actually. I'll have to see what I can come up with...
