Weirdo Me

This probably isn’t the best post for my first one on this blog, but whatever. Judge me all you want, I’ll still be me.

In my Creative Writing Class, we got to a point where we were supposed to do some prewriting for our short story. I still haven’t fully settled on an idea (because all my working ideas are ones I want to write full length novels of). Instead of working with an idea I’d already come up with, I wrote down this conversation I had with myself…

Don’t Judge.

This is what I wrote:

Do I really want to use [title of one of my ideas]?

Not really.

What then? Both of my other ideas I want to reserve for novels.

So, what? What is another idea?

I get ideas then write them into stories later. I don’t seek them out. They just pop into my head randomly.

So, think of something new, or make one of those ‘novel’ ideas shorter.

That is the dilemma. Man, I really want to write [another title of a different story idea].

Get back on track! You are writing [current project] right now! You don’t have time to slack off, or you’ll never finish!

Okay. Okay. So, what do I write for this short story?

You tell me.

Wait a minute! What about a girl that has multiple personalities, where they are having a conversation like this one?

Ha, ha. Very funny.

That’s all I had written before class ended, but I am sure glad it did finish and I didn’t have to keep that up. I really only wrote that because I wanted to look productive, not because I really have multiple personalities or anything. I’m just weird.
