er, meme?

[hope]

Ask me a question - any question [eta: or more than one question] - about my writing, then post this in your LJ so I can satisfy my curiosity about yours.

gacked from linaelyn, mainly because i'd like to think more about my writing again... so i can do it again. my brain stagnates, i need people to help me untangle the roots and be inspired.

LOTR FPS? Ever again? :-) See -- short and brief. Nothing profound to see here, move along...

[hope]

hrm. i'd like to say yes, but the muse is gone :/ i'm not really excited about the canon anymore. i still love it deeply, but the creative spark is gone.

I'm just going to repeat the question I once asked about 'Beauty Sleep':

Hasn't anybody tried to fucking kiss him?!

[hope]

hee. see part 4 of that fic.

PS. still love that icon.

d'oh...

seems I don't recognize a kiss when it isn't spelled k.i.s.s.

uhm...

[hope]

nevermind :) i'm fond of the fact that even though you don't like the story, you remember it enough to bring up now.

What makes you think I don't like the story?

[hope]

i remember reading a comment on someone's rec of it that you thought it was horrific and couldn't enjoy it?

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Oh wow... It's pretty difficult explaining why I wrote what I wrote when I don't remember ever having given a comment like that. I probably have, and expressed myself in a bad way. I only know what I think of the story and the comment I gave in the entry itself sums it up quite accurately I think.

*beams* kiltsandlollies made that icon for me from a cap by undone27!!

Do ordinary, everyday things ever spark a story idea for you? What kinds of things?

[hope]

i kind of don't like it when ordinary every-day things spark stories - i don't like the idea that i'm writing from my own life (same applies when other authors do and i'm aware of it), with fanfic at least. not sure why. it's kind of like a squick for me. so, no, they don't spark story ideas, but every day life sparks images... i write descriptively from life.

you you write a lot that you don't post? or do ou tend to find you write and complete stuff then post it?

er. in other words, do you have a bunch of WIPs on your computer like i do, or do you actually finish stuff?

[futureperfect.livejournal.com]

and obviously that first word is proof that i just can't type. *scribbles out and carefully writes in 'do'*

[hope]

i am an attention whore, so i can't hold onto anything i've written, even if it's a snippet or a chapter - i have to post it.

the downside of that is that i never really get much feedback, so i'm discouraged from posting things. that backs-up into discouraging me from writing, too, which really sucks. vicious cycle, yo.
