Boring: it's not just a town in Oregon
Nov. 5th, 2010 10:25 amSoooo. . .I'm posting from work again, and it's possible this job is so simple & mindless that my brain has been doing nothing but daydreaming about Booth & Brennan for days on end. Not that this is new, mind you--I've been a professional daydreamer since I was a kid--but for once I'm actually pondering the frightening idea of taking my live-action fanfic daydreams & turning them into a fanfic reality.
In other words: writing a story.
Now, this very well might go nowhere, kind of like my BSG drawings. Though, to be fair, those could still come to fruition, and I did begin making artwork again this year in general. So my muse DID stay. It just took a detour is all.
Of course I also never finished my frakking BSG or XF recaps (yet), so God knows I'm not always reliable when it comes to getting inspired by something & then promptly following up. Nevertheless, I never forget my original inspiration. So it's not a matter of flakyness or a weak attention span (my attention span, when focused, is more akin to a steel trap that grips like the jaws of life. Everything else might as well be invisible)--simply fluctuating motivation & being very, very slow to effect change. I have to think about it for a hundred years first & arrange my life & psyche & identity around it. IF ONLY I WERE KIDDING.
Still, I've been thinking about this for a while already and I've been the muse (i.e. given the author their idea) for more than one fanfic as it is (P.S. dosi, if you're reading this, I still want to beta your Dollhouse fic for you if you'd like. I apologize for the procrastinating jackassery, yo. Feel totally free to post it without my read-through if you don't want to wait any longer). Why not try to write one myself? Lord knows I'm verbose & obsessed with TV enough. Plus, I need an outlet & something to distract me from how much season 6 is NOT making me flail right now.
What do you guys think? Should I take the plunge? Or open up shop as a Professional Muse & force others to do the work for me?
