Day 19 - Nothing

It's when UNI and TAFE assignments start piling up and you realise that, oh, they are all due next week, and oh, I haven't started...whoops. It's in that moment you realise you should stop thinking about characters that don't exist and get onto real work...whoops. So that has been what I was doing, until I got some new software called... scrivener. Oh man, it's great. It's superb. It's totally worth writing just so I can use their software. Man, I don't know how I lived without it. And that, is that.

I have read a few articles on how writers get their ideas and laughed at what they said. Strangely enough I get my ideas by walking down the street and having conversations (in my head obviously or I would look quite the sight) with my characters, finding out about them and what they do. Yes, I realise they all come from my head, but for some strange reason I find out more when I make up scenes with them in it and either start writing it or just by asking a question or two. I almost make my characters seem human.
...reading over that I sound insane...I assure you, I am not, I am a writer with a very large imagination and I hear that is good in the writing world. Fancy that.
