being a writer

beccaelizabethI have today managed to finish the Ibsen related reading. It only took me, oh, maybe five times as long as it would if I could keep my brain on track.
Plot bunny. Not even a porn bunny. Well, at least three sex scenes, but all necessary and integral to the plot... Hang on, that means I have to write them. With words. And not fading.
... that would be new ...
ANYways
Plot bunny.
*Ate my brain*
Long ago when I first started doing conventions one actor said that if you can do anything else, do it. Only be an actor if you have to be. And it sounds kind of rude to a profession, but what he meant is it's a calling. You get full up of have to and then you get the chance to do it.
I remember him saying it because cute, but it's been said by others and quite often. Art, creativity, all that can't-eat-it-yet-need-it stuff, that's where it lives.
Writing requires no other people to give you chances.
But it can have quite a lot of have-to.
If I could control and channel this stuff I'd get the best grades ever.
But noooooo.
... so basically what I'm saying is I'm being Called to write Torchwood fic.
*facepalm*
Alright, I told myself I wasn't allowed to touch my laptop until I'd finished the reading.
Now would be a logical time to start the writing part, of course, but while attempting to concentrate on Nora et al I have instead developed quite a complex plot with twists and emotional development and parts where what started as porn or pure hurt/comfort turned into moments integral to the plot and... this is where my brain lives.
This is possibly why my brain lives.
This is definitely, albeit in a slightly strange way, why I'm even going to college in the first place.
Which makes it rather hard to come up with any math that makes college more important.
*sigh*
shall go write it down then.
And after that, watch Torchwood.
Because I just finished consuming all the fandom's output of fanfic, and if there's anything I've learned about writing, it is that while fanfic is inspiring, canon is what tells you if you are in fact on crack.
