Writing About Writing
Jun. 12th, 2007 09:56 pmI'm in the midst of a creative overdrive; I hate these. >.>
At the moment, I am torn between writing the following: Chapters of The Man, Chapter 2 of Mystery Letters & Tea, C:JAM, The Adventures of Lenny & Brian, an action/adventure HP fic, The Zeith, Political Essays, - My Brother Is a Pacifist, Out of Touch & Losing Ground, The Futility of Debate, The Necessity of Debate, The Christain's Political Duties, Death By Judicial Fiat, Republican Front-Runners, Strangling Free Speech, The Arrogance of the World, and various untitled others - Religious Essays - Faith Without Works is Dead, Jesus Christ Did Not Have 1,000 Bodies, and Standing for the Right - a Historical Essay - North vs South: It Wasn't All About the Black Man - and research papers on Jane Austen, Emily Dickenson, Walter Whitman, and TS Elliot.
Yes, I really, really want to write those research papers.
In an attempt to satiate my multiple desires, I'm writing about writing; perhaps talking about what I want to do will help me settle down and actually be able to write something. Ahh, yes... It is sort of like an essay. It lacks a proper introduction and conclusion, though. ^^;
Is writing, as all-consuming as it is, a selfish thing to do? Regardless of what writers of all sorts contribute to every society, on a personal, writer-by-writer basis, is it selfish?
I guess I'll tell y'all later if this helped or not... I think it did; I'm having a significant leaning towards only three, now. ^_^
