LJ Idol 10: Week 20: Open Topic

[rswndrlst]

Of All The Topics So Far (500 Words)

I wish for my writing to be fearless if not effortless

I wish to write for the fun of escaping and the perverse joy it brings to me

Never mind fame and fortune when hypergraphia overtakes me in the middle of the night

Too many tales wanting to be told

Universes full of elegant airships
An underground dance club

Very cool. I particularly liked the ending.

[rswndrlst]

thank you so much!!

This was exhausting, and I mean that as a compliment. As a writer, I know how those ideas can pinball through your soul until you just can't take it anymore, and when someone asks what you're working on, all you can say is, "Stuff." As celebration/lament of creating, this was top notch.

[rswndrlst]

haha stuff! indeed! I'm so glad my intention was clear, I always worry my 'stuff' only makes sense to me which is why I stuggle with confidence in my art

Thank you!

The skin of a skull being split open to to reveal the pink and blue insides, sleep paralysis visions of a giant arachnid getting closer before my brain screams at my my body to wake up

I love this line! It's haunting and vivid, just like a nightmare the second before you wake up.

[rswndrlst]

I almost took that line out because I was afraid it was too dark but I'm glad I left it I have really vivid dreams that often inspire my writing and I neeed to trust my insticts more - thank you!

I could see prompts sprinkled all over and that made me smile. Beautifully told. I loved this.Kudos!

[rswndrlst]

Thank you, I really tried to include a reference to all 20 prompts so far, it was a suprisingly fun challenge

[bleodswean]

Yes, and yes, and yes to this! Writing is play, it's work, it's exploration...and the almost-finding. I loved how you buried Idol here but also bared your own fears. This line forever - Falling in love with the clacking of the keyboard; I give away all of my secrets

KEEP GOING!

THANK YOU!!
