Do you have them? People whith great long families and life stories who move into your head I mean? I know I do.
I suppose Id better qualify that before everyone starts backing away with paniced eyes and frozen smiles Im talking about charcters and stories. Ever since I can rember Ive had stories when ever Im scared or stressed or in pain. I suppose its some kind of psychological defense mechanisim designed to distract me. But now with all the stress Ive actually had a couple of poem seeds begin to whats the word when they first start growing well you know what I mean, theyre not really anything yet but things are definatly moving around in the creative side of my brain again. And on tuesday I came home sat down for what was supposed to be half an hour to exsorcise a couple of lines from my head I looked up and it was midnight and somehow Id written over a thousand words.... and usally that takes me days.
So maybe in some ways the stress is good.
hen again starting from october through till about april ever sinc Ive been in the UK I get the same storying charchters visting my head, somthing about the moss and the weather brings them out. And I cant help noticing how the story shifts and develops every time they come around, I think this year was the year of the THEMES, I was actuualy thinking structure, themes, background as opposed to the surface story.
Not that Ive actually even tried to write that one.... I still think what the story wants to say is beyond my limited life expperiance so maybe a few more years and Ill be able to write it down....
