Friday Rants and Raves - May 30

[sarillia]

Hello everyone! It's another Friday. How is the writing going? Anything to celebrate? Anything you need to vent about? Let's hear it!

This week's picture is by Zdzisław Beksiński. He is another favorite of mine and I definitely recommend looking into his work if you're like me and enjoy fantasy and surrealist art.

I'm half way through an intense summer math class, so writing is unfortunately on the back burner right now. (several days have consisted of going to class and then coming back and doing differential equations for eight hours. With occasional video game breaks so that I don't stab my textbook.)

Nevertheless, I have, mostly for the sake of my own sanity, carved out some time. It took me a bit to get back in the swing of things and figure out how words worked again, but I've started drafting out some fanfiction. And I think I've worked out one of the fiddly bits in my current original project - it was one of those "crap, who knows what and what does he think about it" moments where I had to backtrack.

So the short version, I'm kind of a corpse, but one that is slowly making its way back to life.

I hope you're able to find more time for writing soon. As long as that doesn't completely overload your brain.

What fandom are you writing for?

[splinteredstar]

Yeah. Part of it is simply /forcing/ myself to make time. Otherwise I get a little bit batty after a while. I need story in my head, or else my brain stutters.

Primarily Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, which is an gem of a game. I was incredibly curious about one of the characters, but we never got a full backstory for him. So I'm writing my own. (I also have something for the new Captain America movie bouncing in my head.)
