Newbee
I feel a dread that what is in my head will ramble like I do when I am nervous. I think I would create a character who is self-confident and poised. I don't think I even know what to start with. I guess a name. Niambh because it brings a smile to my face and because it is Gaelic and different. So Niambh is sitting at her desk and she is remembering the time when she was small and the world seemed fair and now she knows that it is not. She is disillusioned with the state of the world but has no energy to work to fix it. She feels that no matter what it will be ruled by the unfair bosses who use power to corrupt the goodness that lies beneath all ideas. I am not sure that she can carry a story and I think maybe she needs to be placed in some kind of situation where she has to make decisions. I think I have run out of gas and will stop for now. Not much of a start but a start none the less.

ReplyDeleteYea Nanny! Keep gooing..whereever Niambh takes you...she may surprise you!
ReplyDeleteDepression is debilitating and worthless so move on to brighter thoughts. What if Niambh wants to break free and be a new person? Maybe she isn't ready to move on? I think I best start with a what if? What if I just get out of the real situations in my own head as a writer and immerse myself in a place that is more desirable. I need to meditate.. this isn't really working for me. I am way too critical about my thoughts and ideas. Way to preachy and literary essayish ... I think maybe memoir will work.. I am starting to teach that in a few weeks. Maybe I can jump start my mind and remember a memory that will then become an idea that will then make sense that will then unblock my brain? What do you think?
