I just want to die...

posted Sunday, 5 June 2005
Now, before the title of the post gets anyone worried, I've NOT gone suicidal...

Tonight I saw The Amityville Horror, loved the film and I thought Ryan Reynolds did his character well, my only real beef with the film is there was no basement of blood :( My only memories of the original 1979 film was the basement of blood at the end of the film, followed by the video tape running out ( damnit, I never did see how it ended! ) and was a little dissapointed in the film... still - it was fun but not nearly as scary as the ticket guy made out...

But I digress, why is that I want to kill myself? Because I've been dead for 20 years.... at least I have been in a story I've just thought up. I don't know why but a series of story ideas just flooded my mind, call it a cross between the movie, and listening to The Dragon Page - anyway, I just spent the last hour scribbling down thoughts and notes on an intriguing universe, with several plot lines for a story, or stories. It's been years since I've ever written any fiction, but I think these ideas have enough merit to dust off the imaginary type writer and see what comes out...

I have universe rules, character birthings and deaths, several key plot points, a host of potential tangents, and enough theological anomalies to get me excommunicated from several religious orders - but I think it'll be worth it...

Stay tuned, and maybe you'll read it someday...

Sounds interesting - and you're writing from the future too! Well, you are from where I'm sitting anyway.
