I realized that up until now all I've really talked about is college which while making perfect sense in reference to the title isn't too terribly interesting. So, I love to write creatively and in an odd way a story idea hit me that I'm doing preliminary work on. Basically, the entire book would be in a short story format from the perspective of the main character who is doing a documentary pretty much on break ups and exes. Each short story would be each interviewee telling their story to him and through all of the interviews, the main character will move on through their own heartbreak and that's the easiest way to describe it in short terms. The different types of interviews and relationships will range from tragic to hilarious to ridiculous, meaningful, pointless and everything in between because that's what life and love is. It's funny, it's heartbreaking, it's crazy and it's incredibly difficult to pin down with one singular, short summary. You need the gambit of emotions and words to even get close to it. One scene in particular I cannot wait to write because I picture a little girl coming into the room and sitting on the couch in front of the camera and the main character and the entire chapter would be like, "He was too loud so's I called him a poophead. Danny gave me Crayons. I like Danny now." And she would stand up and just leave.
I'm also working on my extremely complicated fantasy/fiction idea which is slowly shaping up and rewriting my teen fiction idea. It's an arduous and long process, but hopefully in the next few years I can actually write something good and get it published! (It would definitely go around the family and close friends first though. ;) )
Well, I studied for almost two hours with a classmate for my Mythology quiz tomorrow and I'm pretty exhausted. Until next time!
