Writing: the creative processes, juices, etc.
Mood:  d'oh
I have several ideas in my head for novels and/or screenplays. I guess my biggest problem is that I really don't necessarily like the writing process or any kind of the self-discipline inherent therein.

I don't use words like 'facetious,' 'paradigm,' or 'ubiquitous'--nor do I like people who do know how to use them and who actually say them. I like having a finished piece of work and saying, "There you go, Mr. Publisher. Please publish this, so the multitudes of book-readin' and movie-watchin' folks can have something new and fresh to talk about at work."

I like new stuff--I'm sick to death of this trend in our country for re-making crap that really wasn't that great in the first place--and messing it up worse! I like originality in my dramas, sci-fi, and comedies.

So, when I come up with new ideas, I tend to go that way. Be original. Write what I know. The problem is, I have to craft a story--the idea is something from the heart, but it takes a long amount of writing to get to the stuff I know or feel. I have to write things like:
Georgia carefully cut each strand of the invasive mop of brunette hair, making sure not to cut too much, lest the client be dissatisfied. Slowly, methodically, her scissor blades severed each silky tress . . .in order to get to the point where Georgia (who is a serial killer) stabs the customer in the throat.

Something that worries me is my penchant (uh oh, big word-hypocrisy) for creating stories based on revenge or psychological problems resulting from extreme loss. I wonder if these ideas are, in some way, a precursor to my own future, or if I'm actually, in some way, weird.

Either way, I guess I'll probably get around to writing one of these and, hopefully, filming an independent version of my screenplay idea (an employee vs. boss revenge film). I don't think it would work as a play, though--too much walking.

I kind of like this blogging medium--it provides me with an outlet for my thoughts and the possible gratification that authors and artists crave from having their works viewed by others.
