Inspiration

Writer's block? Psh. I have braindead...ness. *wiggles eyebrows*
I always take things one step further, don't I?
Inspiration, for me, comes in many, many, many forms, everything from television, magazines, newspapers and songs. An old lady on the street could inspire me, but for once in my life, I am stumped.
I have a great idea (if I do say so myself) for my NaNoWriMo story, but my problem is how to get the protagonist to meet her "love interest". He's perverted, sarky, bossy, demented and so out of this world, literally. I don't want to say too much, as this will be posted on Fiction Press, but I can't think of a dramatic meeting for them. I'm tempted to do a bus scene, having the protagonist on a last-of-the-night ride, scared out of her wits and fearing every male being to be a rapist. Enter "love interest". It's different, I guess, and makes the protagonist fear him straight off, which I want, but it's not quite there yet. Who knows? I have a week before my fingers need to start typing.

Anyway, I've been listening to my writing songs for inspiration, and I wanted to know what type of songs get your clogs whirring? For me personally, it's the cheesy love songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. But recently, Billy Joel seems to be my inspiration, especially his song "For The Longest Time". Have a listen, it's a great song!



Much love.

NaNoWriMo

The craze that is hitting the world: NaNoWriMo.


I take pride in being an individual, to the somewhat crazy point where I'll purposely do something that no one else does, just to be different, but NaNoWriMo is a craze I must simply follow.


I'm crying on the inside, honest.


I have a new plot idea that's developing in my head so fast that I just have to write it down before I decide the ending and the excitement is gone. NaNoWriMo seemed like a reasonable perscription to my absurd mind, and so I'm doing it. Final.


I know FF followers will kill me, or worse, EAT ME!!! but it's something I feel I have to do. Apologies. I'll still update as often as I can, I promise this won't be the last you'll see of Edward and Bella, stuck in college life or stuck in London, with drinking problems *looks at Bella*, but updates may be slower. I've set a target of updating at least once a week for both stories, especially as The Chase is so near to finishing, so don't be too mad. ^^


In other news, my nan was taken into hospital yesterday. I don't know the full details but it's in regards to her heart. She's having an ECG today, well she probably already has, so we'll know what's going on hopefully. I'm not too worried though, I doubt she'll be relieving us yet.


I'm joking.


We're a bunch of fighters, so I know she'll survive.


Anyway, I've started the long-awaited chapter twenty-three of The Chase, but I'm a little braindead on it. I've had Bella pour her heart out to the girls, but otherwise, I'm stumped. I'm tempted to have a boys' night in version, seeing as they're all deligated to one floor. Girlfriend comparisons anyone? XD


Much love.
