I only lied about being a theif

[angelgazing]

Arg.

Let me repeat, ARG.

So, yeah, I ended up getting about 500 words of the O11 ficathon thing done last night and I spent all day glaring at it and it hit me, all of a sudden, that the POV is all wrong.

Now, see, I fought with this already. Because I knew it wouldn't work this way and it wanted tow ork this way for the imagery and it just will not. So I'm gonna have to start all over.

Again.

I have tonight and tomorrow to get it done for the beta. ::rubs hands together:: Let's just see how this works out. Bwahahahaha and stuffs. ::grins::

It's crazy that I'm not stressing more about this, because I know that I should be... Mostly it just seems like a neeeew challenge. Huh. Most interesting.


In other news, I'm on something of a poetry kick (again). I'm always such a sucker for language when it's not used, but bent over and this way and that to shape it exactly right and then throw it away. Which sounds stupid, but. Words and the way they fit together will forever be my favorite thing in the word.

It's never more perfect than when there's a rhythm to words. To the lines and sentences that make a story or a poem. You remember when you were young and first learning to read and you'd drag your fingertip along the page and whisper each word to yourself? You should try that again, with some piece of poetry or fiction, because some times you get lucky and you find the one where the words are all perfect. Where they're shaped just right in your mouth, and they fall just perfect off your tongue and it's not like reading, it's like being there and seeing it and all the glory and color of it on the black and white page in front of you.

And really it all comes down to that being what I want to be able to do. Everything I write is me trying to get to that moment where the words have a good shape and they fall perfectly and fit together like they were meant to fit together.

opiumcoffeebean has got some great stuff that you should all read. Her poetry is really never short of amazing, and she's got the thing with words down. She's got the ability to bend them and shape them like they should be. Breaking Your Bread is my favorite at the moment, but in her memories you'll find dozens of poems and none of them will disappoint.

I'm not sure any of that makes any sense to anyone not me, but that's life and stuffs, I suppose. lol Now I've bared to you the full extent of my geekiness for words. ::is ashamed:: So link me up with your favorite poetry, I know you've got it.

Hah! Well, I have eyes everywhere. I rigged a comp just to comment. :p

[angelgazing.livejournal.com]

I have no doubts about you and your trickery.

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

Actually, it's true. I had Face and Julie spying for me. >:)

Thanks.

::snorts::

I really, really would've have expected anything less. lol You run them by remote control or does the bullwhip do the job?

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

Well, you know. The hive mind and all. Zey are eazzzily controlled.

[angelgazing.livejournal.com]

I see. I see.

So... they're the... worker bees... in the hive and you're the... queen?

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

Quite right. (http://www.livejournal.com/userpic/26703580/5271296)

I work for cock.

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

I don't have cock. That's not what you're working for. ;)

[xylodemon.livejournal.com]

Face does. She has an icon of it and everything.

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

I know. I made it, you t00b.

[xylodemon.livejournal.com]

You made her cock, or the icon?

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

Both. I molded the cock from the fires of Mount St. Helen's. Then, I had the Knight's Templar carry it across the lands, braving a monsoon, to give it to her.

[xylodemon.livejournal.com]

Only a monsoon?

I would have expected better. A tornado, or summat.

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

There was also a talisman involved. And rampant homosexuality. What good is a Knight's Templar story without that?

Nic Cage/Entire Masonic Lodge wot?

[xylodemon.livejournal.com]

talisman

Get out of my head.

Nic Cage/Entire Masonic Lodge wot?

OTP OTP.

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

Again no. It's spacious and accomodating.

[xylodemon.livejournal.com]

Is that an insult?

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

Do you want it to be, Cupcake?

[xylodemon.livejournal.com]

No. You'll hurt my feelings, Muffin. You know I'm fragile.

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

You weren't too fragile when I had all that Guinness the other night. Which reminds me: I need a Guinness icon.

[xylodemon.livejournal.com]

Guinness is for the Irish.

You Leprechaun, you.

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

I'd rather be short and drunk than wearing an opera hat, long braids, and riding in a funky boat.

[xylodemon.livejournal.com]

opera hat, long braids, and riding in a funky boat.

Stereotypes.

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

...are terrible? My people get them a lot.

[xylodemon.livejournal.com]

*hands you Lucky Charms and a pot of gold*

[angelgazing.livejournal.com]

Strap-on? No?

[chuffing.livejournal.com]

Yes please.

[angelgazing.livejournal.com]

Good to know. You know, in the scheme of things.

[xylodemon.livejournal.com]

Yes. If you ever need to bribe me, that is the way to go.
