So I said I was taking a break for the holidays, but boredom
has struck; either that or the lack of money that usually comes with the
Christmas season doesn't allow me the normal freedoms. Whatever it is, I’m back
on the computer thinking of story-lines while trying not to edit. Editing,
however, often takes my thoughts as I can think of nothing else with which to
do of just a few minutes. I mean to write and write effectively a person should
dedicate a good four-plus hours to the task. And I rarely have four hours in
which to dedicate to anything.
But my mind tends to wander.
On those trips into my imagination, I've become fixated on
one story-line; the one I posted last blog. The problem is I’m trying to
discover what hasn't been done yet. Now, I have the basic concept I want to
explore, but a key detail is lacking. As I begin to contemplate the
possibilities, I can only think I’m repeating something that’s already been
done is some way. It’s not a good feeling especially for my normally creative
mind. This block I eventually hope to overcome, but right now I’m stuck in a
vicious circle of useless ideas.
After all, Jeremiah Stone was original, right?
