It's a phenomenon that is guaranteed to happen whenever I play a new game. I learned these past two weeks, it also happens when I play I game I haven't played in years.
Ah Final Fantasy, how I have missed you. Though I sadly realized that a week and a half is a little fast to get through 30+hours of game play... Ah yes, how I obsessively play those games.
But I can't help it! The tickle my imagination like only dreams can do for me. They get me thinking, pondering, and poof! New ideas form in my mind and I just want to create! Whether it's drawing, writing, whatever. Which then made me wonder, is that why I've been struggling so much with writing lately? I just haven't had any new energy coming in for quite a while.
Which gave me a crazy idea.
Once upon a time when I had mono and was bored out of my mind, I wrote a fan fiction (basically a story involving other people's characters from games, movies, etc., a great way to waste time lol!) I usually avoid any old stories I've written, because I know they all need serious overhauls in the editing department. But lately, I've been getting a ton of ideas for stories, but the writing aspect is lacking. So I thought, if I edit this story, and basically completely rewrite it (Which it needs), it just might get my juices flowing again.
I'll just laugh/cry as I re-read it. I've already re-read a few chapters and gosh it's awful LOL! But I did write it almost 5 years ago, and never edited it. Besides, I'm still happy that I completely that 50 chapter story. :)
