On my way to work, today, i was listening to a song called "Last Ride of the Day" by Nightwish. (good song from a great album). It got me thinking about how ive been approaching chapter 14 (my problem chapter from the last post). As you may have gathered, everything I do has been planned out alot, not alot of room (Storywise) for going with the flow of things. The characters may alter things within the story but they do not alter the story it self.
The affore mentioned song talks about making a last stand at the end of your time, taking a last ride in the "carnival of life". Perhaps I've been so focused on meaning and taking time for granted that i should slow it down, look at each chapter as its own breath of the story, as its own ride. I think ill take tonight, think just a little on the chapter, and let it go. Tomorrow I will try writing again based on the feeling that 14 follows the actions of 14 and try not to play it into a centerpoint of the story, which is how I was treating it.
On another side note, the song made me think about how I would write if I was on that "last ride". If I had knowledge that I would not wake up tomorrow, I would write as if my life depended on it, give more color to that world as my colors in this world will fade. Each person would carry a small bit of me in the books so that I may have a ride, forever, through my creation.
Thats it for me today,
Peace
