Sunday...grr- my consistent journal update record is soiled (although I published the last one on a Sunday; it was written on a Saturday!). Ah yes, and I appear to have done nothing but never mind that- the mocks are over and I should write something this week if I don't get lazy.
The pieces I'm trying to write are the same as last week really, but I do have new ideas. For one, 'The Human Radiator'- I have a lot of planning done for that. Not sure if it's going to be a poem or story so I shall probably try both. I'm getting a sort of 'Edward Scissorhands' vibe from the idea, although I haven't seen the film. It's going to be focused on how someone with the properties of a radiator is treated socially- folks will take advantage of him/her in the winter, but shun him/her in the summer, without getting to know him as a person. Knowing Tim Burton though, I would like this story to be a tad more light hearted than Edward Scissorhands may have been. Tim Burton is great by the way- he did Nightmare before Christmas.
I also have an idea for a poem about how I get ideas. I'll leave it a mystery until then.
I still have a lot of pieces to do from last week before I get to these though, and I particularly want to do that humorous piece. That will have to wait as well though; travel writing and poem comes first. Although, I really would like to write something that tops Oli's 'Origami Barrack Obama'.
