I haven't been feeling inspired to write. Which I guess is a good thing. The only thing inspiring me write now is the feeling like I am heading for a breakdown.
Good things only seem to lead to disappointment.
I am so sad because I am happy. There is no way this can last. Things never work out. Why should this time be any different?

It won't work and I want to cry. I am not a real person, so how could anyone have any sort of legitimate interest in me? They couldn't.
I am sad because I am happy.
I wish it worked the other way, too. I would be happy a lot more often.
I have been thinking too hard. Not thinking, fretting. People must think I am insane. The faces I make when I am lost in these thoughts make me look like I am ready to collapse in a heap of sadness. Maybe I am.
I am made of brittle, brittle glass.
I need some goddamn bubble-wrap.

I don't know whether feeling inspired to write or not is a good or bad thing,
ReplyDeleteand I aint got a scooby whether you'd be up for this or not either
but what the hey
would you like to play a writing game?
yes please! that sounds interesting. what kind of writing game?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking we, and anyone else that wants to join in write a short story - say around 500 words, give or take a little - it could be totally open, anything goes, so you can write whatever you like
ReplyDeleteor we could add different bits and bobs to it
like choosing a title
or a particular theme, mood or setting,
even a character
More off the wall ideas would be to write a story about a found object
or make a 500 word short out of an overheard conversation or a line you hear some-one say
just realised I got quite a lot of ideas for story short themes
the bit I like best about the game (apart from creating a little story) is that you get to read what someone else has come up with, which is usually a completely different story to your own even though you had the same theme
what do you reckon
I think that sounds like a marvelous idea! now, would we collaborate on one story or each write our own?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking to start off with we could each write our own,
ReplyDeleteif you like you can pick the first theme
then away we go
I am very bad at making decisions, so could you pick the first one? this sounds like it will be very fun!
ReplyDeleteno worries yeah sure thing
ReplyDeleteI was going to think off a title and then wed write to that,
But instead I quite like the idea of making a short story out of a found object,
So the gist would be, surf along contrarily until eventually, suddenly, as if by magic there it is the right object to write about,
Hopefully that will work, im thinking it will,
sort of just go about the day as normal, and then ping! That’s the right object,
Maybe ittl be a teacup
Who knows...?
So this object could be anywhere, inside or outside, it could be something we know or even something weve never seen before,
A pen would be easy, so might a penny on the floor, i guess different places maybe different objects, im going to stay local on this one,
so there it is find an object and turn it into a short story,
as its Monday I’m pretty sure I’d be up for posting something around the weekend
I’m thinking ill find my object today, maybe tomorrow, I first thought itd be outside but maybe not, maybe it will be a teacup, whoa, yeah this should be very fun,
I wonder what they’ll be?
I nearly forgot to add,
ReplyDeletewhen I post my found object story around the end of the week, ill add a comment to the post so it’s clear which one it is (I just thought of that because I wrote a dream piece and if I end up posting a load of writing this week it might get confusing)
I found my object, Whey hee!
ReplyDeleteFound it a few days ago but I got tied down doing other things, I don’t actually know what it is, it’s a bit of green plastic shaped like a triangle, I think I’m going to write my story tonight, maybe tomorrow it’s going to be called - The Green Triangle.
How you getting along with finding any objects?
Are you skimping out, no worries either way, or still in.
okay so I have been SUPER busy but I have been playing around with a few ideas. I will hopefully have time to write it this weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteWicked! I really thought id have written mine by now but time keeps slipping away, if I don't manage to post anything by tomorrow (im going away) then ill blatantly have something done in a week...
ReplyDeleteI WILL write this story this weekend. I've been throwing a few ideas around this week, and I think once I start, it will all come together nicely. I'm excited. I need to get my mind of the literal and spend some time with the figurative.
ReplyDeleteWell I think I’ve cracked it, got some sort of a story done, I don’t know whether anyone will like it, that’s the exciting bit, anyways ill wait untils your ready, if you like, then we can post them around the same time, just let me know when’s good (no rush)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I went pretty much over 500 words - the short story I got is 2 and a half pages long.
ReplyDeleteAw i got to post it, a mate of mine wants to read it on the blog, its called the green triangle.
ReplyDeletethat's fine! especially since I finally started writing mine! it's almost finished and will be up soon. I look forward to reading yours shortly!
