Hey there, those of you who are reading this. It's been a little while since I posted anything. School, NaNo, the usual distractions.
I am only three days behind on NaNo due to more school related writing I had to do. So not that bad. It'll be easy to double up over Thanksgiving break.
Today I wanted to write about something specific and not related to NaNo at all, though. I don't know about the rest of you but sometimes, I get something in my head and I can't let it go. Not just like I think about it and obsess about it but like I can't let it go on in my head so I have to say it out loud, either to someone or by writing it down.
I'm of the belief that this is a particularly writer-ly trait but correct me if I'm wrong. Because it feels like when I have a scene in my head that I simply have to get out because it is driving me mad. Only this is different because it's about my life and I can't just let it sit.
The problem with it being real life is that I have no control over how the other characters react. I don't know what they're thinking. I just know what I'm thinking and what I think they're thinking (that was a lot of thinking for one sentence). And I don't want to say it and have anyone look at me like I've lost my marbles.
So do I write it down? Maybe. But it's much harder to admit uncertainty/doubt/worry/guilt when it's mine than when it's a character. But do I say it?
I haven't come up with an answer, so I guess I'll do more of that thinking thing. I've heard it works. Usually.
