I
had a blast yesterday hanging out with Elle Henry, Sylvia Stein, and Lynette
Lee. It was an amazing party. And I
encourage you to pick up Elle Henry’s More
Than Words and Sylvia Stein’s Chasing
Clarity. Both would make great Christmas Presents since it is coming up
quickly. Or even just to spoil the book worm in yourself. I was so worn out
after the party that I just basically passed out. Then when I woke up this
morning I watched Inside Out, which
is a good movie. I’ll be reviewing it in a couple of weeks. And it got me
thinking.
If
that is the view of a normal average brain, then what is the view of a writer’s
brain. I mean after all we keep characters in our brain as more than just
memories. So would they be voices as well. And with all the characters we are
constantly creating it might get a little crowded in the control room. I wonder
how order might be maintained. Especially since we are basically creating
people in our brains so do they have a smaller control room of people as well.
And do voices ever retire at all? That is something else I wonder and might be
addressed in a sequel. There are so many ways to go just from this one movie. I
think I will have some fun with this as a writer.
I
know I am not getting this out as early as I want to, but some drama got in the
way. It will work out I am sure. Trying to make it work out tonight but we will
see. Working on a short story for a couple of contests and it is finally
starting to come together in my head. It takes some time sometimes for me, but
it eventually gets there, and amazingly always by the deadline. And then
tonight I will be signing and sending out a contract for another
story that will be appearing in an anthology soon, details coming soon. Just
busy right now and planning to be busy still over vacation, which I am hoping
to start early next week. And I’m feeling psyched about it. Seems to me
sometimes I thrive under pressure.
I
could just be delusional about that though. But I am going with the flow and
enjoying it though. Even though I will be busy as can be on vacation I will
still be getting out. I’m not about to lose my progress in that department and
become a hermit just because I am busy with work. There are a number of movies
at the local movie theater that I want to see. So I will be getting out in the
afternoon to see movies over vacation. Plus, I will be doing some people
watching though not sure what I am doing for Thanksgiving.
But
I am sure something will fall into place. It usually does for me around the
holidays. And they are always a good time for me. I get to spend them with
family, which is normally a heartwarming time. We have our issues but we set
them aside for the holidays. Weird as it may sound. Almost like how the Allies and
Axis set aside the war in World War 1 and celebrated Christmas together. Little
fact I learned from Lynette Lee.
It’s getting late and I need to get freshened up for
company later. So as always feel free to leave comments and questions below.
