Somehow, I think I've been given good banana vibes from goddess writers like ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dawn_metcalf. Her post was infectious. If you're feeling lost, brush her page and maybe you'll get the good banana vibes too. Seriously, I've been on stimulus overload for the last couple of days.
Believe me--I'm NOT complaining. After last month's drought, I'm glad to be resurrected from the dead.
At first, it started with two ideas; I figured the problem with my current novel was that it really deals with two different stories. Before I knew it, I was branching off into three different stories (one with totally different characters). Now, I just wrote out two ideas for two different novels. So that's ideas to explore for four different books (1 being what I think is a three-parter, and 3 separate novels altogether).
Whew! This feels good. Now I've got to decide which to write. It's official, I'm definitely going to do NaNoWriMo this year since I've been inspired with so much material this month. My only problem now is what do I go with for the month of November? I think it will be something completely new, and not the old novel.
This feels right.
Ya know, I was thinking about street artists: sketchers of caricatures at fairs, people who freestyle rhymes on a street corner, body paint artists at festivals, musicians on subway platforms, break dancers at a park. These artists don't burden themselves with perfection. They flow from the moment. Sometimes, I feel like the danger of working and reworking your work too much (and the biggest danger, writing for other readers) means that it becomes homogeneous with what already works, what's already being sold. I won't be lost in the crowd.
I refuse to be that generic. I need to get my hands on Agape Agape by William Gaddis. I read his novel once several years ago but now I'm starting to get what he was saying.
November can't get here soon enough!
