Asakiyume mita - round three

About round three

Previous Entry round three May. 13th, 2008 @ 11:20 pm Next Entry
I am at work on the third draft, now, of "The Oracle." Very many apologies to [info]jmeadows, who got stuck with the first draft. You can trash that! It has changed....

How many things and people, real, almost real, and more than real, can I be in love with at once? So many, so very many. And that's "in love"--doesn't even take into account the things I just plain love. This intoxication!
I feel...: intoxicated
I hear...: Mari Fujiwara: The Wind Forest
thoughts?

Maybe you could just send me new drafts as they drop from your brain? I'll get to it one of these days. :)

It may be all vaporware, but it's an illusion I love!

Well, the one is the main one :-) But I've been in love with half my friends list--male and female both--at one time or another.

And then there are the story characters (like the highwayman), and the books--[info]sovay got me to take out the book Jackaroo, and just looking at the back flap of it made me fall in love. And I fall in love with the wind, too, and with orioles--well, you get the idea.

I do this too... heh. my husband is not like that at all though and doesn't understand it but never tries to change me or feel threatened.
sometimes I feel like Amelie, who would rather stay in the fantasy than know the truth...which is maybe not good? but I say it's good! cause I can enjoy my fantasies while knowing there are just that :)

They mingle so much, you know? It's hard to know what's really real. I really love my husband, though, so I try to include him in as much of the enthusiasms as I can. He's not too threatened--which is good; he shouldn't feel threatened. Sometimes I think he feels overwhelmed by it, but mainly in a good way (I hope/think)

I can relate :)

though unfortunately my mood stabilizer has taken a bit of that away... but this is good because then I don't go so far down :-/
curious, do you also go very down in mood? it doesn't seem like it from your posts.

Not--so far, thank God--in the black way that I know you and others do :-(

Sometimes I do feel intensely melancholy, and sometimes even with, you know, the bad thoughts about (not) staying alive--but not for very long. (Now watch; I've probably jinxed myself...)

naw, I think you can be creatively moody without having a disorder :) mine does go way back so it wasn't like the down side crept up on me... plus doing a lot of ..um, bad & impulsive, regretably so, things in my younger days.

Keep going! Hustle, hustle!

Third drafts are good . . . that's usually where I change EVERYTHING.

PS: Everytime I've seen a Camaro this past week, I've thought of you. And, of course, sung Bitchin' Camaro to myself. ; )

Hahaha!

I had to put it aside to do paid work just now, but I will. I thought I had fixed it just right and then realized, nope; it made a character inconsistent. Beargggh. So, well, I think I know what I need to do, but it will have to wait until I've finished editing this thing on the credit crunch...

and yeah, this draft has been full of SNIP SNIP SNIP--felt so good!

Murder your darlings, they say. This was hard for me at first, but I'm ruthless now. ; )

Some things I'll never change (LOL, those will probably never see print...), but others I'm very flexible on. With this one, I'm aiming to please :D

No it doesn't! The wild wildness of that blessing; it's just breathtaking.
