Did you know that Josh Groban has put ALL of his new album up on Facebook? Check it out
HERE and be prepared. It's pretty amazing! Of course, I think Josh Groban could do no wrong so I'm just the slightest bit biased. War At Home is AMAZING.
I know I've been gone for a week (and my word count STILL sucks but more on that later) but why did no one warn me about SGU for next week. *weeps bitterly* I may just quite shipping altogether. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. REE DICK YOU LUS.
Loving this weeks Sanctuary because it's Kate-centric! Love me some Kate Highlander!
I've been more than testy lately because the words, they are not my friend. First, I can't compose on the computer. I'm even having trouble with some of my RPs. THAT is UNHEARD of. So where is this delightful story? In a series of notebooks that are being parceled out to friends and family who are typing it up for me so that I'll be able to send it in to be validated at the end of November. Even days are better than odd days but what this means is that I haven't been ahead at all and only completely caught up once (last weekend).
I have a question for all of you creative types. Let me preface this by saying that I'm a daydreamer. Always have been. I had a job at one point that allowed for me to both work and daydream. This was before I was much of a writer so all my creativity went into my daydreams and they would have been able to compete with any daytime drama plot. I realize that this is a sort of uber-daydreaming and is actually more creating than just resting. It's an active attempt to fight off reality.
All that to say, when I'm writing I have memories going on in the background. This is something I never really realized until this week. All the memories that I've realized have been very mundane. One was of me and a friend of mine shopping at Pottery Barn for some things for work. It was probably over 5 years old but I could have listed out everything that I looked and and what route I took. I was reliving an actual memory that I would have no reason to access. It was mundane. Forgettable (except for that bookcase but it was completely out of my price range). But I accessed it while writing.
When I write, I'm pretty much daydreaming out the plot. Could I be accessing a portion of my memories that aren't reserved for the larger, need to remember that sort of memories? A part of my brain that doesn't normally get used? Is my creative area near where those memories are kept?
Is this normal? Do any of you have something similar happen? Is it because I've taught myself to do this deep daydreaming? Am I odd? I think I'm odd.
