requiem
I feel as if I'm dead. Not as Dave says... not that I've lost hope.
It's that I don't care whether there is hope or no.
I've seen the worst of it all. I've seen my life go to shit in an instant, and since then I've been in a state that you could call apathy to all things... much as I act outwardly as if I really cared.
And now that facade is getting tiring and I'm slowly dropping that, too.
Working on something new, might just write it tomorrow...
Mozart's Requiem (me) says:
I'm trying to write a short story to get it out of my system what it feels like to be completely apathetic
Mozart's Requiem says:
but being that it's apathy, it's difficult.
A legionnaire (Camel in disrepair) says:
the character is apathetic or you as a writer trying to be apathetic?
Mozart's Requiem says:
the character.
A legionnaire (Camel in disrepair) says:
an anarachist or an anti-hero?
Mozart's Requiem says:
something like that. but without the energy. Someone so totally dead inside he cares not even if people start dropping dead around him.
Mozart's Requiem says:
the only way I can see doing that is if people actually did start dropping dead around him
A legionnaire (Camel in disrepair) says:
omg you should read some short stories by gabriel garcias marquez i forgot the name of it but it was about this guy whose twin died and its like he felt death and how it is like to be dead the description was so graphic and destrubing
Mozart's Requiem says:
alright, if you do remember the name let me know.
A legionnaire (Camel in disrepair) says:
aaaah it was that guy who wrote the book 100 years of solitude i think he got a nobel prize for it
A legionnaire (Camel in disrepair) says:
awesome stuff you should read it
Mozart's Requiem says:
kay
A legionnaire (Camel in disrepair) says:
but anyways whats your story line like?
Mozart's Requiem says:
so far nothing. I'm mulling over it. Either I can go metaphorically, and actually create an apocalyptic incident in which the character has no idea what's going on around him (first person, and only hints and shades at what's actually happening outside).... or there are other things I could do, I suppose.
A legionnaire (Camel in disrepair) says:
aaaah you could send it in the late 1970s in london the punk scene in the tradition of anarchy and defiance and then in the end the character realizes how this whole way of life is just as driven by the corporate scum bags as the lives of socially structured people, and how there is really no escape and nothing could truly defy them
Mozart's Requiem says:
could work
Mozart's Requiem says:
dunno... we'll see what happens... really have no direction for it just yet.
Mozart's Requiem says:
I wrote a short thing to see ho I'd like it to feel, but I was't happy with that.
