Stay?They said, "We want you to stay"
It all means nothing
When the dishes are done

Never belong in one place
No matter how long
Your name is on the box

Compelling blackmail
Treatise under the bed
Shoes tied, hat on
Out the door like a
Hell-bat released

Nobody wants you to stay
Let them bicker
'Cause the dishes aren't done

Never remember the face
No matter which mirror
You use to shave

Tripping on sidewalk cracks
Stopping to scrape off
The gum and dead snails

Throw the stick at the neighbor's dog

They didn't want you to stay
It all means nothing
Unless the laundrey gets done

Never belong in one place
No matter how long

'nother memeby ~Kid-Apocalypse

I've got a compulsion to doodle on just about anything right now.

~NaturesGlory Jan 1, 2008

I agree with you about the writing about People bit. The characters - how they think, what they want/desire, what annoys, their beliefs etc. - always fascinated me in stories, same for my writing. Plot?

~Kid-Apocalypse Jan 2, 2008

I think right now I'm really influenced by Grant Naylor. One more than the other, though. Doug Naylor is just too angsty sometimes. Anyway, they both really delve into very complex characters--I love reading them, and I love writing them more.

~NaturesGlory Jan 2, 2008

What do you think is your favorite part when crafting a character?

~Kid-Apocalypse Jan 7, 2008

All of it.

Starting with a name, then getting his/her age, and so on to where I can firmly see whether a smirk is more likely than a smile. Then I get to see them go places and grow out.

~NaturesGlory Jan 7, 2008

So you don't have much an idea of who they are until you throw em in an enviroment?

~Kid-Apocalypse Jan 8, 2008

That's pretty much the opposite of what I do. The way I usually write, I know them really well before there is an environment. I just don't know who they'll become.

I like Dune and Lord of the Rings just fine, but I don't write milieu stories, so I don't often rely on whatever my world is. Not heavily, anyway.

Huh. Cool

I hated writing for school, too because I could never write what I wanted to...and even though I've written an "almost novel", I still don't consider myself a proper writer....

~Kid-Apocalypse Jan 1, 2008

Exactly it! It's hard to write something you're "supposed to", isn't it? I mean when is someone else doing the supposing, at least....
Oh, there's no such thing as a proper writer, I think.

You just do it 'cause you love it, and call yourself a writer if you like the way the word looks on your hat. But that's only what I think.

*Hagge Jan 1, 2008 Professional General Artist

Oh I like that concept.

'xcept the word "writer" doesn't seem to fit between "cranky", "fussy", "impulsive" or "impatient".
