I'm doing 43 things
i want to write something like the bell jar by sylvia plath. she called it fiction, but it was really autobiographical to some extent. or id like to do something like go ask alice, where i publish my own diary. i wouldnt want my mom to publish it when i die because id want to edit it first… i mean, its a xanga. (http://www.xanga.com/atticus_adeline), and theres all sorts of “OMG teh eheh im sooooo DRUNk” in it. but maybe thats what would make it interesting. i also love virginia woolf and shes been an inspiration to me as well. the parts of the movie the hours, when virginia woolf was writing, or trying to kill herself, or spacing out, or being all manic depressive was really inpirational, just because i felt so connected with her and her illness.
my only problem with a novel seems to be starting it. i cant start writing. in highschool when we had to write short stories, i had the most perfect idea for a story, and in the end it turned out wonderfully amazing, but i put it off got weeks just because i couldnt start the damn thing. im still not happy with its beginning. does anyone have any good advice? or bad advice? or any advice at all? cause the words are building up inside of me and frustrating the fuck out of me. i think thats why i cant sleep at night.
