I think I've fallen in love with my main character, once again. It keeps surprising me how he can be so goddamn dark, and yet express himself in such poetic ways; I think to myself I must have been drunk or stoned when I caught particular phrases out of thin air, guiding them to paper. Woven, that's his name, weaved by drops of dew in a vast ocean, weaved together by various fears and wonders, dark, dark, dark. A Woven Darkly should maybe the correct subtitle to either one of the novels?
Anyway. He simply says some things that seem to amaze me, and I wrote the damn thing. Once again I think to myself that writers don't actually write the books, only channel stories to paper. That is how I am still surprised by what happens, how I am still moved by what they feel, by how they're thinking.
There's so goddamn much of me in these pages. Half my heart and soul gone to them. Rest in peace, piece! I feel like a real novelist, and for once perhaps one that will never die.
Long live melancholy and darkness. Long live noir!

ReplyDeleteThat really made me think. It's like one of those statements that get to your head, and your stuck there.. thinking about the every possible meaning ti has. Although the meaning is quite clear, I just seen all of the stories I have ever wrote pass before me.. I think you are 100% correct, I have always wondered why the words didn't seem like my own, when they obviously are. But that explains everything! :)
I also found it to be the same with music.. what do you think? Like, someone the music just flows from your fingers when playing a piano or guitar..
as you can tell, I really love that sentence, Bex! :D and Woven seems like quite the character! Can't wait to read all about him, and get to know him for myself :)
sorry, i said 'someone' instead of *sometimes* haha
ReplyDeleteHahaha I didn't even notice :D And yeah, that idea of writing has always been with me, can't really explain where I got it from. Maybe I just channeled that to paper, too? xD
ReplyDeletehaha maybe so! :D
