Oh hey, stuff. Maybe answering some questions might help. Maybe.
Why do you want to write?
I... Just really love stories, to be honest. I love the way the best stories can enthrall the imagination and set ablaze such wonderful pictures inside your head, the way they can take you to the gates of heaven, or plunge you down into the bleak depths of hell. A good story lasts generations, and the best stories never truly die. I... Just want to tell stories, really. I want to come up with something that people will talk about for a long time to come, I want something of mine to last after I've gone, I want someday for someone to be at least somewhat moved by my stories. I just want to know that somewhere, at least someone thought something I did really counted, and that one day they'll tell the story to someone else and when asked "who wrote that?" the reply would be "Moerin".
...Well, not "Moerin", more like my real name, but, um, still. >.>
If you had the power to make one of your ideas/stories read by every single person in the world, what would it be?
I have this one idea. I've had it in my head since I was a kid, and it's grown and grown ever since then. I could go on about how it's a reconstruction of the magical girl genre, or how it's everything I've ever thought of as "cool" thrown together in the hope that it'd work, or that it's just some silly, stupid little "Gurren Lagann with frills" kind of thing, but... In the end, it's just a story of someone who never gave up on their ideals, hope and the ones they cared about, despite insurmountable odds, soul crushing despair and seemingly the entire universe trying to get in the way. It's... Really, really stupid when I describe it, and there's no way it could ever be as good as the vague pictures of itI have in my mind, but... It's just... Something I just really, really want toget down at some point. Something I have to do, no matter how hard it is. Something that I have to see through eventually, even if the strain of getting it out kills me in the end.
...Um... Sorry for the overdramatic pretentiousness in that last bit. >.<
Ugh... I just want to write something that people will enjoy. I'm never happy with
anything I write, but as long as at least one person gets some enjoyment out of it, it wasn't a wasted effort, was it? Sorry, I've been droning on incoherently, kinda delirious at the moment. Maybe when I'm in a clearer state of mind I can reiterate this all in a way that actually makes sense.
