Unorganized Philosophies for the Conventional Life

I'm going to write. I wouldn't mind if you'd tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Just support the good in the people close to you. That’s all you have. And it’s quite a bit when thoroughly reviewed.

“I don’t trust him. I can’t get a read on him.”

“You don’t trust the doctor. You don’t trust Terry. I know you don’t trust yourself.”

“I trust Annie.”

“Well, she knew him. Ask him about her. She would have you go to him. He’s been around for a while, and you shouldn’t be surprised. Come one, we’re going to see him.”

I appreciate books that explore the themes of identity, nature, and the family. Interconnecting them as well is important, whether through dystopia or some other metaphor. In fact, it’s pretty much a make or break kind of situation.

oh.. oh, crap. I’m a romantic. When did this happen?

I love when writer’s do that thing where they don’t place their story in a specified time period or where they basically make up one of their own that is built around it, almost as if they are completely willing to sacrifice any connections with reality to achieve the right aesthetic for their world. There is that post floating around that talks about how Lemony Snicket did this with his A Series of Unfortunate Events. The example I always think of for this is Batman: The Animated Series. Comic book characters’ settings are always difficult for people adapting them in the modern day when they and their origin stories have been around for close to a century. Anyone can see this when we look at what Marvel did with Captain America. Some of the producers of Batman TAS talked specifically about how they had police blimps in their first episode, something that exists in no time period but makes it look like a steampunk show. The entire artistic style of the show was reminiscent of film noire, and the Batmobile was an obvious nod to the 80′s Burton Batman. Doing all this they could include both advancements and limitations of technology that would not have made sense in our world. In fact, Batman Beyond even presents a future that doesn’t have to be imaginable in our world because its past was a different precedent.

The gods in heaven envy your beauty and those here walking on earth fear it. Forgive me, for, out of pride, I wish to always stride aside such a treasure as yourself.

I think I figured out when/how I will write my book when the day comes. It will end up being for my wife. I know for a fact that whoever it is I marry that person will definitely be a bibliophile some way or another. I’ll know that they will be happy to be given something to digest, even if the quality is a little off. Most of all, this is the only motivation imaginable that I am sure will be effective. I don’t care to be published, to make money, to be known, or for it to even come out as intellectual or entertaining. To be loved and to love, I think that is why it is there in the first place. Perhaps one day it could be passed down to our sons and daughters for a read, but it would just take her to get me to write it down so that she could see what I had running around through my head for all these years.

I can’t wait till I have the confidence to let people know who they are in my books. At this point, I do everything I can to hide who everyone ends up being. By the time of publication though, I plan on dropping some symbol, some blunt hint that only they and I would know and something that if they ever read it would not allow them deny exactly what it means. Basically, slay…

The Lesson of Background Characters

On the topic of a completely separate subset group of characters/people, I will also, one day, be able to clearly define some as background characters unworthy of such symbols. I had a conversation with someone yesterday that made me realize how focused I was on learning something from each and everyone in my life. Most of my motivation around this was for inspiration when it came to making new characters. This has been unusually difficult with the people I have met in college for some reason. Out of the two years I have been at A&M there have been two girls that I have only had several conversations with each that I have been able to form fully fleshed out characters out of, and then there is Michael. For the longest time, I have been trying to work other people into the story in some way, most notably Alec. I lived with him for two years, and, even with great effort, I could not find any way he could help progress anyone’s story, much less mine, and yet I had incorporated someone like Michael through a couple of iterations before he even moved in last year. The conversation I had yesterday made me realize that I had equated the amount of time I spent with people with the importance I should place them in in my life. Not only did this make me overvalue the things Alec did and said while I lived with him, but it kept me from placing him in the background where he belongs and most helps the overall plot of the world.

Today, it was hat day or something at Sweet Eugene’s. The two girls behind the counter were wearing hats that reminded me of each The Catcher in the Rye and Looking for Alaska. It’s pretty likely it was planned on their part as well.

Do writers develop identity crises?

What happened to the thumbpocalypse of 2008? Are our thumbs going to turn into nubs because of our excessive talking? A new breed of carpal tunnel. Is this still a thing? We need a contingency guys.

I am slowly trying to transition from leaving the comments on my reblogs in the tags to actually commenting with text.

It is important to note that the actual book of Copper takes place in the “5th Glacial Period in Human History.” It is the actions taken by Awanyu in the War of Sought that actually solidify this geological season, although they were already moving in such a direction. It is also this setting that gives the town of Copper such a picturesque Christmas despite its latitude.

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness. I was just looking for a picture of the scene from End of Evangelion for a desktop background pic, and I found a Spanish article stating that they think a scene from Adventure Time is supposed to be referencing it. It totally makes sense. All the animators from Cartoon Network work on the same shows and an episode from Regular Show explicitly referenced Evangelion in a much more transparent and shallow manner. It was Adventure Time’s episode that was part of the greater story arc with the Enchiridion where Finn loses his arm and meets his dad. It mostly referenced the end of each where the pillars from the Citadel formed cross shapes like the Mass Production Evas and Jake and Finn come out of the sea like Shinji does with Asuka from the LCL.
