Pfft, Characters

[annundriel]

So I am working on a fic and it was supposed to go one way, and totally started in the right spot, but now Arthur has decided, haha, no, that's not how things work.

I mean, it'll all end in sexy fun time, but seriously. This is not the fic I set out to write.

I don't know what to doooooo....



Oh. Wait.

Back on track! I think. Whining wins in the end!

lol I always try keeping stories on track as little as possible, if they stay there by themselves, fine... just it always turns out shit if I force it :)

Oh, I know! Sometimes you just have to be flexible and go with the flow because certain things are not meant to be.

My problem, at least half of the time, is that there are too many ideas in my head and half-way through writing something, another idea will pop up and go, "Hey, look at me! Wouldn't you have more fun if I were the way things went?"

[regenvogel.livejournal.com]

maybe you can use the ideas on different stories??

[annundriel.livejournal.com]

Sometimes that works. A lot of things end up in my notebook for inspiration later.

what do you write these fics for? :) just fun or work? I think I maybe should know? but maybe I only met you after you said...

[annundriel.livejournal.com]

Well, the fics that get posted here on LJ are all for fun and are usually fanfiction. But there are also original pieces - a one-act play, short stories - that were written for classes and projects.

I love writing creatively, but I used to get stuck and not write anything for weeks. So this year, I decided that I'd try to write a little something creative every day to keep those creative juices flowing. Some of it's original, some of it's fan-related; some of it will never see the light of day, some of it gets posted here. It keeps me from getting creatively frustrated. :)

And then there's the writing I do for a local newspaper, which is less fun.

Long answer! Sorry!

long answers are good ;)

I love to write and even want to do it for a living so you have my fullest understanding... ;) just my stuff is usually too long to post here except the screenplay I posted some months ago...

I'd love to read some more of your stories :)

[annundriel.livejournal.com]

Oh, I would love to write for a living, too. I mean, uh, besides newspaper articles. I've been really intrigued by the mentions I've seen you make about your scripts and things. What I'd like to try is devloping my own TV series.

A lot of my posted writing is fanfiction. I can't seem to read/watch anything without thinking, "Well, what if...?" There are some original things here (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=annundriel&keyword=Writing) in my memorable posts. Some of that's going on six years old, though, and so could use some work.

However, if you're interested, the short play I wrote and co-directed for my school's drama department is here (http://annundriel.livejournal.com/36558.html). And I'm still rather proud of this myth I wrote (http://annundriel.livejournal.com/184048.html).

why don't you? you can just start by writing a script for a tv show like i did with abbey road, good thing for people who have too many different idead, you have so many places to use them... and you grow so fond of your characters...

I'll totally read your stuff!!!

[annundriel.livejournal.com]

I've got lots of notes on one possible storyline. Characters walked into my head and I became a bit smitten with them. I just have to sit down and make myself work on it.

good thing for people who have too many different idead, you have so many places to use them

I never thought of it that way before! But you're right, you really could incorporate a ton of different ideas in one overall story universe.

well if you wait a bit and think about it a lot it'll sort of work on itsself and you only have to write it down...

oh that is why I wrote a tv-show in the first place, I love writing movies and shortfilms but a show gives you so much chance to form three-dimensional characters and the more you learn about them the more ideas you have and you can make them do pretty much everything since you have so much time to get them on the right track and back off...
