I don't know why, but here goes post number 2 for the day. I suppose this way is better then just not posting for a week at a time or longer.
Originally, I was intending on working on that story idea I had to use for my "conclusion" of Typhoon and Zero (my old writing characters) and truth be told, I even started it up.
But the ideas, at least to me, feel dated and just tired. Or maybe that is just me. Or maybe it could even be both, which I think just might be the case.
I admit that I have grown quite complacent over the past few years and I really do think it shows. My mind has grown dull and worn down and the ideas I used to get so very easily just don't come up as often anymore. It is a little depressing to say the very least about it and it just feels like I'm losing my step with writing and the thought alone sucks.
One theory I had was maybe I overthink these things, rather then to allow them to just flow out and come to me as it pleases. Could it be that I've overdrawn from my mind and now I've run on empty? Could be.
I think it also has something to do with my present environment. It is noisy and there is never usually a quiet moment of peace to think. Hell, I don't think I've even sat down and given much of anything any real thought in quite some years.
One thing that I miss about where I moved from (Kona, Hawaii) to this city I am in now. There was a certain kind of calm, a peace that a place like Oahu can never hope to replicate. Or at least, not in my own eyes and mind. It was much easier to just sit back and allow the thoughts to come, rather then have to focus so damn much to block out the sound of cars and fire engines and all the noises that can be associated with a city.
For the record, I think the Black Eyed Peas make some pretty damn good music. Yes, I know I am a few years late to that. But hey... I am slowly catching up...
But back to the ideas on writing and all that, it is funny to me now. It is funny just to think back on how certain things started, such as the characters Typhoon and Zero. Both of them were concieved from a online "RPG" based on the Anime series Tenchi Muyo!.
Just for my own sake and to end this small second post of mine, I'm going to name off all the characters I have ever written about. At least I will try to, there are quite a few names and I haven't really kept up on remembering them all. I think.
- Typhoon
- Zero
- Ryo-Suteru
- Jadris Maxwell
- Neko Silverheart
- Nika Silverheart
- Niko Silverheart
- Akurei
- Vanguard
- Vage
- Chase
- Vargus
- Nine
- Holocaust
- Genocide
- Tsunami
- Storm
- Wind
- Khrys Kaiser
- Odin
- Chrono
- Willen Graywood
- Quillen Graywood
- Edge
- Scarlet Kurishiro
I imagine there are more of them then this, but my mind just can't recall them at the present time. Who knows, maybe I should write about this group of characters and flesh them out and give them a fitting end which even I could be proud of.
Only time will tell now.
