Sing along with me:
- I can’t get no motivation
I can’t get no plot reaction
So I try
and I try
and I try
and I try
I get get no (du duh duh du du) motivation
Okay, so, well, apologies to the Stones.
I do write a little every day. On average only about 300 words. The other day I word warred with Sophia and managed to get just under 700. I think what I need is a totally new idea. Not related at all to one of my other projects. Maybe I should get serious about my perpetually researched SF. Or think of another Fantasy I could do.
I’m considering getting a tattoo (shhh! don’t tell Mom!). I have been running ideas about it through my head. The image I will get, not the process, I mean.
Two versions of Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life. It is also known as The World Tree. The Maori say it is guarded by Tane. The version on the right is popular with jewelry and is considered Celtic. Trees have played an important part in human history and folklore.
I’ll most likely get the one on the right since it is simpler. I would love the one on the left but with out the colored parts between the trees. At any rate, I’ve got some things running through my head about it.
In my fantasy project, the chestnut tree is an important part of the story. Yggdrasil is an ash tree and we have three ash in our front yard, one of which we call The Old Man. Piers Anthony wrote a book called The Shade of the Tree and is well worth reading. Allen Dean Foster wrote an excellent scene in one of the Catalyst (?) books about a tree.
Okay, the brain is kicking into the right gear. Later!
