eyedreamism_index eyedream eyedreamism eyedreamism_ii eyedreamism_iii eyedreamism_iv eyedreamism_v eyedreamism_vi counts 030821 ... User24 eyedreamism_iv so soon? I only read iii at lunch time! 030821 ... eyedream I know, I know, now that I have a direction, they're flowing out of me. 030821 ... User24 the best way to write (flowingly) 030822 ... eyedream For some. It's the worst way for me to write. I can think of the most incredible plot ideas for novels...but then once I know what is going to happen, I lose interest. It's like filling in the sentences. It's mundane. It's better to write this way, where some chapters I know what I want to say, and in some I am clueless. You'll see that in eyedreamism_v, once I churn it out. It'll take much longer to write. 030822 ... unhinged yes, i know what you mean. i did enjoy writing with frAnk because of that. i had the plot in mind and then he twisted it and i would have to twist back equally as hard in the opposite direction to get the thing back on track. and then sometimes i didn't want to get the thing back on my track cause i liked his track better. but i guess our parallel tracks have ended cause i have a feeling he won't be coming back here no more. 030822 ... unhinged and i like you you are good 030822 ... User24 I like both of you, you are both good! 030822 ... . . 030823 ... eyedream The problem with you blathergnus that is you aren't critical. I haven't received any criticism on my eyedreamisms. I took them to another forum where they were bashed for having too many adverbs. I am inclined to agree. I think that maybe they are only suitable for dreamers. 030824 ... neesh maybe it's the difference between those who like to see beauty and those who like to criticise. or maybe we have enough of criticism and not enough of appreciation in the real world. so yeah, i guess being dreamers is our problem. in eyedreamism_iv i thought to begin with it was over-written: "Spiky-haired and wearing a pinstripe button-down over a skateboarder’s long sleeve shirt, gawdy Nikes on his feet, and with the everpresent pair of headphones dangling around his neck, he was the embodiment of his alma mater." it's just a bit much, not really clumsy, just too much information, it doesn't sound typically neat and stylish. but then i read on, and the beginning was the only bit of sustained description, and the rest was dialogue, so i thought it made a fine balance/contrast. how's that for some nearly-criticism? 030824 ... Flowers from Safeway I wish I could be more helpful, but writing is not exactly my fortay. However, If you ever have a puppet show, I can give you all the criticism you need. :) ...I'm not much of a writer, I'm just here for the food. 030824 ... screwing for virginity its just that mostly we (or i at least) see on this site is people verbally bashing the snot out of each other, so when something like eyedreamism comes around it is awe_inspiring. and besides, i like adjectives and adverbs. 030824 ... User24 I agree with neesh, after getting used to early ethan introduction, I wasn't very happy with this new guy (and I was hoping to God you hadn't somehow forgotton Ethan's romantic style and lowered him to wearing Nikes, which I'm sure he would -never- consider unless under duress) however, I was en-gladdened (??) that t'was not Ethan's description. 030829 ... eyedream Sidney's brother is important to me because her world is not just Ethanish beauty. Is the brother entirely repellent to you? 030830 ... User24 no no, he's a believable character, just very un-Ethan, in my mind, but then I've only met him once, so I can't be sure. how's five coming along? not lost enthusiasm, I hope? 030908 ... User24 another forum? you mean, the internet isn't just kazaa, shoutcast and blather? wow. culture shock, man. 030908 ... eyedream Unfortunately yes, I'm stricken by something not unlike...see, I'm not going to say the words or else I'll condemn myself...so I'll just leap around it. It's when you're a writer and you are unable to write anything. The problem with not planning anything is that it means I don't know what direction to go in. I'm lost. I am contemplating an idea but it'll mean falling away from the Ethan plot...should I? Am I just desperate and snatching up the first idea that comes along? In other words, User24, eyedreamism is suffering. I have five million ids all over the net anyway. (re: the forum) 030908 ... endless desire what other forums are there, even? i mean. . .are there anywhere near as good as this? maybe i'm just forum-close-minded in that i think this is the only thing worth my time. 030908 ... eyedream NOTHING like this. Liked what you blathed in paper cup, desirue. 030909 ... Rowbes Inspiration Inspiration Inspiration Inspiration Inspiration Inspiration Inspiration (I am mentally sending inspiration) hopes it finds you 030910 ... User24 some ideas: leap around in time, tell us what happened before he was taken away, tell us what she did after he was taken away, etc. Your coffee shop went down very well, perhaps some more in that setting? Why did Ethan move, where was he going / coming from You've obviously considered the whole thing, and that there are only 2 left to do. I'd say that there is no need for plot progression, while they are all linked, only iii and iv are linked directly, the others could have happened in any sequence, perhaps just create an encounter between Ethan and XXX, or Sidney and XXX, or something else entirely? :) 030910 ... Dafremen You probably lack fire eyedream. That is why the thrill goes out of you when the puzzle is solved and the ducks are all mentally in a row. has the same problem. 030910 ... eyedream User24: There may be more than 2 to go, I just couldn't remember how to do roman numerals past six so I stopped there and figured I could always add more later. I am currently plotting an Ethan with XXX. Actually, I was plotting a Sidney with XXX, but then I realized that Sidney had already had an XXX one, XXX being her brother, so now I want to do an Ethan one. It's bubbling inside my head... Dafremen, you are right. I am exactly like that. However, the good thing with eyedreamism is that my ducks aren't lined up and I don't know what will happen. It comes from not thinking about it too much. When I do write them, they pour out of me in a rush. Then I have to look at them, once written, and rearrange the stones and make them shine. But I doubt they are publish-worthy. 030910 ... eyedream Thank you Rowbes and Desirue pour ton amour. 030910 ... eyedream eyedreamism_v is here 030911 ... once again and it is lovely. Blather is happy... :) 030911 ... eyedream I just read over my eyedream blathe and was overwhelmed nearly by the sweeping support and blatherlove. I want you all to know that blather is for the dreamers. 030911 ... magicforest eyedreamism_vi is here. 030929 ... magicforest I need constructive criticism for the latest one asap. 031002 ... magicforest eyedreamism_vii is here. get it while you can 031031 ... magicforest eyedreamism_viii It's two thirds done. 040207 ... u24 where is Ethan? gazing out of a cafe window somewhere, I should hope. and Sid? has she learned chess yet? pray tell. 040628 ... chloeNtheSUN beautiful!!! captivating!!! (three exclamations) i just read all eyedreamisms all in one sitting and I couldn't leave with out saying something. more!?! 040629 ... eyedream thank you. I'm glad you like them. I don't really. They are going through renovations right now. I've already finished the new eyedreamism_ii, and written several more, all of which need minor repairs as well. I will post the entire eyedreamism index once it is completely finished. Some writer once said that editing is like "killing off your darlings". It really is. I don't want to make the eyedreamisms feel less real to you by saying all this, because they feel quite real to me, I can just see the parts where I was under the influence of a different writer or drawing from ideas in my head instead of letting it flow out of my strange little soul. It amazes me how people continually like these things of mine. It amazes me how they can feel like they are a part of them, too, it amazes me how human it all is. 040629 ... . also, u24, you make me so fond of you. 040629 ... anne-girl read them (all?) also in the middle of the night overload of beauty at one sitting thank you :) 040806 ... endless desire these were absolutely incredible. i read them so long ago, i can't wait to go back and read them all again. i hope everyone does. 061015 ... u24 when_all_there_is_is_dot 080604 what's it to you? who go blather from
