So I'm doing NaNoWriMo and my story is just ... sucking. The first time was so exciting and interesting. This time I just feel stressed and uninspired. I hated my execution of my first idea so after four days I scrapped it and started over. Now I'm not in love with this one either. So I'm just adding absurd things and hoping something starts to amuse me. Booooooo. It's not serious enough to be serious and not funny enough to be funny.
Where did my funny go? Have you seen it? Please check the bottom of your shoes. Thanks.
Perhaps this will help.
ReplyDeleteI like to go to this cafe, you can check my blog for pictures- I spent my birthday there.
Anyways. I go there one day, and there is this 40 something man in a powersuit sitting at a table. He has a nice attache case, a few pens and he appears to be working very hard on something. He's got a rather large piece of paper, about the size of a poster board, but it's just paper. I thought, maybe he's doing some design work or something.
I see that he's got three or four other papers arrainged very neatly around him, and he keeps looking at them. Blue print specs maybe?
Finally, I go up to the cafe counter and I see what he's doing.
The three or four papers are covered with zig-zag scribbles, each different colors. And the huge piece of paper? It's nearly completely colored.
I ask the owner about it, her english ain't so good. She grabs her Korean to English dictionary (everyone has one on their phone). The korean word for "crazy" and "annoyance" show.
Turns out, he comes every few days, sometimes for up to 5 hours.
You know, I think I'll make this comment a blog post.
Week Two sucks! I dunno what to do about it, except make a sacrifice to the writing gods and hope Week Three brings psychic waves of genius and motivation. Are you coming to write with me (or goof off and bitch about how we're not writing, because that's fun too) tomorrow?
