Music and Writing; Constraints and Epiphany

26Aug08

I’ve been writing some, rehabilitating much more. I’m back at full typing speed I think. But anyway, I’ve been drawn to some more ideas and it’s eerie the way bleak, devastating music can prime the mind for creating the detail sufficient enough for the grit and grime of worlds imagined. Lately it’s been a lot of Blood Brothers and mewithoutYou (mainly Burn Piano Island Burn and A-B Life, respectively). With school starting and not much else to draw my attention I think I’ll be writing more than I have been this summer. It’s funny the nooks and crannies of time that you find when you’re busy with everything else, creativity is spurned on when you have time constraints. As much, how the methods of storytelling mimic the way you are living at the moment. Durin the summer I would write page after page only to delete them or put them in a folder to be seen hardly than for the one or two ideas that I liked. They were too spanning, they were the work of un-restraint. But now I have to plan my time carefully, be concise with what I’m doing and pragmatic, I hope it translates well into the writing.  While I’ve been rehabilitating, I did have the time to bring some of my ideas together (as well as watch hours after hours of downloaded tv). Again, I hope to have some content to give out soon, but mind you, school is starting and I dislike giving morsels as they’re ready.
