so the adventure begins.

Write what’s in my head. Right. A dear friend told me to write every day, just to get back in the habit of writing, and Im finally taking his advice. Im going to write pretty much whatever is in my head at that moment regardless of how lame I think its sounds. I dont know if I will always post it on my blog. Some of it might be a bit personal for the interent, but I am going to write.

I keep thinking about what I want to write. I have a story that is stuck in my head. Its going 20 different directions at once. Almost as if its actually 20 different stories. I’m over thinking my writing, and I’m over thinking my story. I just think to much in general. I cant tell you how many times I have wished that I could turn my brain off. Ever see that movie ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”? I wish I could just erase things out of my brain. My life would be a hell of a lot easier. I feel like certain memories have a negative effect on my though process. If that makes sense.

I know I want to write fiction. I feel like I have more of a chance at success in writing fiction. Which sounds kind lame, because duh…with fiction you can write whatever you want. I’m struggling with figuring out what kind of story I want to write. I could probably write an awesome romance story, but as I’ve said before, romance stories are a dime a dozen. I’ve entertained the idea of writing a horror/suspense story, but I honestly don’t think I have the stomach for it. I’m afraid I might crawl into a dark place, and not be able to get out. I don’t want that to effect my parenting abilities, or my marriage. And I certainly don’t want that to effect my mental stability. My moods are so easily swayed as it is. I don’t need my own story to scare me or depress me. No bueno.

My husband I started a little collaboration. He has this great story idea, and I took notes while we were discussing the story. Im impressed. His story is original, and interesting. I cant remember if the story was originally planned for a comic book, or if this story has just kind of been floating around his head for god knows how long. Not that it matters. I want to write the story. He thinks I can do it. But I don’t think I can. Its not my story. I don’t know if I will be able to take his characters and bring them to life. Im going to try my best. If nothing, it will be a good brain exercise.

Wish me luck.
