100 things, too many voices

100 things about writing- #14, too many voices.

I love to drive. It gives my mind freedom to hash out scenes. Yesterday i had over 200 mile round trip to see my surgeon and my brain was flooded with story ideas and too many voices. If I did nothing but write for two years, I probably couldn't get it all down. It happens that way sometimes. Other times you can drive four hours and have nothing but tumbleweeds up there. I'm not sure which is worse.

Some of the ideas: fragments of scenes for the novel I want to write with the characters from Darkest Midnight in December & Snowbound, the novel I've been trying to write for the characters in Crisis in Faith for years now (like 20...god), a christmas story in a casino in Deadwood with a vampire and a werewolf (yeah I dunno), an idea for a broken up couple getting back together (he's a werewolf in the military), the characters from Ghost of Jupiter want another story too.

And these were just the erotica ideas. There were just as many non-erotica ideas swirling too. It's scary in my head sometimes.

Also there was this: Dr. Robert L. Spitzerapologizes to the gay community It takes a certain amount of guts to admit you were so very wrong.

Of course half of your characters want more stories.

oh no kidding. My characters are always about the sequel

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

They are. I wish mine were about telling me a story.

oh i don't get a complete story. no I get random crap (points to other post on plot)

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, I keep building characters with nothing to do.

that's worse

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I should just go back to the fey and the squires and risk blowing up yet another computer for them, since their story was more or less done.

there you go

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I mean, they'll destroy whatever computer I'm working on - again - and...

But I do love that trio.
