Don't hate me.
*G*
And I've been writing! yay. Only 1,850 words - a fantasy story for a competition. I don't suppose it's any good. It's not at all my usual thing - I have a horrid feeling it could be construed as magical-realism (yeah; shit! I know... O:) but hey ho; it was just an exercise really, to try and get me writing again and it seems to have done the trick. Which is good. It's the first thing I've written in weeks.

Too cool for subject
I'm so glad to hear that you are writing! It's so hard to get the momentum back when you stop, so good for you :-)
I could never hate you...
I've been completely blocked, unable to write a word of anything for ages and going not so slowly mad a s a result. I have a couple of synopses to write tomorrow then I'm going to have an attempt at the Academy fic.
Maybe we're all finally getting our lives back on line? ♥

But what's so bad about magical-realism? (says the science-fiction/fantasy junkie...)

Never thought I'd write anything so consciously 'magical' though. It's probably bollocks. (o:
Re: what's so bad about magical-realism?
Ah, I see what you mean, like Isabel Allende and The House of the Spirits? I read that, too, and didn't love it. Tedious is a good word. And I struggled through about half of One Hundred Years of Solitude before I gave up (although that was a long time ago, when I was in high school; maybe I'd like it better, now). But I don't feel like that genre has a lot in common with the fantasy stuff that I like.
I have to say, anything with elves leaves me colder than an arse at an Arctic picnic.
::snort:: Too much Tolkien, eh?

And this will lead to complete unblockment in *all* writing directions; I know it will!
And don't "don't suppose it's any good". Pshaw. ::glares at you firmly::
::hugs you, delighted::
magical realism is like, reality with a twist. Isabel Allende, Garcia Marquez kind of stuff.
Nothing wrong with it at all really; I read a ton of it back in the day, but got bored of it very quickly. I never thought I'd write anything of the sort myself - but it was for a fantasy writing competition and I thought it'd be a chance to try something new.
And don't "don't suppose it's any good". Pshaw. ::glares at you firmly::
You're very kind but honestly, I'm sure it really is the most awful bollocks, but since I didn't think I'd be able to write it at all, I'm faintly amazed to see the words on the... page? Screen - whatever. (o:

I could never hate you, either! *g*
In fact, I rather like TS by BS, if only for the wonderful fanfic it has inspired. =>}
Congratulations on the writing! Go you! =>}

Re: I could never hate you, either! *g*
LOL! No I couldn't! *g*
"Oh you like to think that you're
immune to the stuff, oh yeah!
It's closer to the truth,
you know you're gonna have to face it,
you're addicted to love.
You might as well face it you're addicted to love"
Heh heh! =>}

Hmm...
tbh, I don't think it's very good.

I'm glad you're glad.
(I haven't forgotten about your vid btw - I've been having some technical difficulties. Please bear with me a little longer)

And than you so much for TSbyBS. Downloaded it, got it on my HD, now I need to find a proper time to sit down and watch it.
Too cool for subject
But since I'm here again I can ask this: Are we gonna see this "Magical-Realism"-story here eventually? Cause I'd be very interested to know what that is. I'm totally ignorant about what the different SF genres are called but this one sounds intriguing!
Yo honey.
I shall think long and hard about posting the story but I'm not all that happy with it - it's just sentimental trash really *g*, I might post it, but only if I decide it's worthy. It still needs a bit of work, I think.
Too cool for subject
Wheeeeee! Writing again is excellent. Go you. *g*
::twirls you & does the happy dance::
