I am at work on the third draft, now, of "The Oracle." Very many apologies to 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

Maybe you could just send me new drafts as they drop from your brain? I'll get to it one of these days. :)
Srsly, just ditch that original draft. Into cyber oblivion with it!
I'm so proud of you. It's so great that you're getting so much done!
It may be all vaporware, but it's an illusion I love!

Wait, there's more evil crushes?!?
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-- 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
Love never ends, does it. :)
No it doesn't! The wild wildness of that blessing; it's just breathtaking.
