Seriously, I feel like I could watch people forever. There are just too many unique characters in the world. I was at a show tonight and was surround by all sorts to take in.
And so then I was of course thinking of my plan to get myself writing. See, I love to write. And I would really, really love to write a novel...but I have problems with the getting started and the creative part. I can write forever about myself or things around me...but when it comes to fiction, I lock up. I think I put too much pressure on myself to figure it all out at once. I don't know. So I thought up this plan whereby which I observe people in real life and create fictional characters and stories around them. But for as long as I've had this idea, I've never actually started it. And so now I'm sitting here wondering why. It still feels too hard. I need some way to break it down and start smaller.
Or maybe I need to just stick with my strengths, for a while at least, and keep writing nonfiction with more frequency. This blog will help, assuming I can keep going with it. And maybe I can start with just describing what I see, and go from there.
Baby steps write a book...
But for now I'm cold and need to go get snuggly in my bed :)
