I wrote a life lesson on youcanbeloud today to make sense of parenting my parents. That was all to-the-point and painted white. Really, I’d like to paint it colorful- even cover it in wallpaper. And by that I mean fictionize it, make believe the story and make it beautiful, nonsensical and eventually emotional senseful for myself.
Two sisters separated. They communicate through letters to help the days pass and continue their plan to be together again. I guess I’d like the sisters to possess Cinderella-esque qualities but without Prince Charming. Something’s missing, though, and it’s leaving my words dry and sluggish. I’ve got nothing to say about them, ergo I can’t motivate myself to bring them to life. I need to do some soul searching into what these girls need. What’s hurting them and why their calling me to help them.
Ah ha! Side note to the sisters, I’ve found a new twist to my old project about the writer obsessed with her characters and working. Call it homage to the 80s film “Cool World,” real people with their real problems all over the world in different times call to the writer in her dreams so that she will feel them, know them and write their stories and help their lives. e.g. helping the two sisters come together, helping a Princess run away, an old woman die, a dog find freedom, even a zombie learn to eat his first brain? Whatever it is, she writes it and she solves it. I’ll call it “Keystrokes.” And obviously she has to have bought a typewritter from some witch doctor woman or something or other… or two doomed “star-crossed” lovers put their blood in a pen and the pen is then poured into a typewritter’s ink ribbon so other’s who possess this great love can be helped. Hm, this could be good.
