When I told them I wanted to build a tower
They said
'You must start from the bottom and build up'
'You must lay down a firm foundation'
'You must put down roots in the ground'
But I had wings you see and so I said
'Why should I start at the bottom'
And so I took my bricks and my mortar
And I flew up, up over the treestops
Up over the mountains
Up over the clouds
Up to the very top of the sky
And on the firmament I laid out my foundation
And I built a great tower down through the clouds
Past the tops of the mountains
Past the treetops
Right down to the ground
And they said
'You were right after all'
But then the wind rose up
And the clouds rolled by
And the tower blew away
Well anyway. I'm not really the kind of person who keeps a journal but I guess I can write some stuff here.
I spent a couple of weeks in saskatchewan away from the internet recently, and it was weird, because I missed people, and I don't think I've ever felt that before. Not that I can remember, anyway, I'm not exactly sure. >.< That sounds stupid when I write it down, but I have a bit of alexithemia which is the inability to identify ones own emotional responses. So I still definitely feel things, but its hard for me to... um... well, for one thing its hard to describe this, I've erased and rewritten this line like fifty times. Hard to nail down exactly what I'm feeling. Strong positive and negative feelings are pretty easy but missing things is pretty subtle. Still, I'm pretty sure I haven't feel that particular sort of thing before.
Prior to that trip, I was pretty into the SCP Foundation (which in case you didn't know is a pretty neat article-based horror site.) I think the main thing was that I had never really thought much about horror fiction before and so I was like 'woah! you can write like this?! Cool!' I wrote a few articles, the first three of which were easily the best, and now I'm think I'm gonna take a break from the place, because the community is honestly not as friendly as it could be. Probably will go back later when they have a bunch of new articles and read through it again, maybe write a few more myself, but for the foreseeable future meh.
Other things? I dunno. I have been thinking, in a very uncertain way, of taking some writing commissions at some point because writing for other people might be neat. Not quite sure if I'm up to it though
