Unconscious Writing

Ugly handwriting >.<
General rule that I should follow: don't write when I'm at the point of falling into dead sleep.

If you carefully read my last blog post, you'll probably notice the massive amounts of typos present in the post itself and in the excerpt text... Note the time I posted.
But that does not even compare to what I just churned out in the past twenty minutes or so.
Behold, the evidence of trying to write a book while extremely tired (I did doze off at a few points in the story, as can be seen by the degradation of my handwriting):
"Emma immediately knows what he is referring to. Part of her wants to refuse, and really do what she was 'considering' [sleep], but a currently much more dominant side is urging her to accept. She is at the point where relaxation and a distraction are desperately needed, and craved. Given the unending stresses of the past few weeks, this seems like a pretty good option. Simple, und unhindered fun with a dose of playful forbidden rough long awaited chemistry. So she runs with it, and tells him 'yes'. Within minutes, she receives a followup email to confirm her random Spring Break trip to Nantucket Island (Hyannis? Cape Cod?)"
I don't know how much of that even made sense, given what I was trying to convey. All I know is that it definitely needs to be rewritten... And that last sentence has absolutely nothing to do with the story; those are my almost random spring break plans.
Holy goodness.

Though now I am intrigued; next time I realize my writing is correlating with the inner depths of my unconscious rather than the actual plot, I should just keep going, and see where my pure and uncensored thoughts really take me.

And onto reading about the Middle East.

  1. Ohh Coing to cape Cod? I grew up there.. *Grins*

    I never get anything like that when I'm falling asleep... Normally the story keeps playing in my head and I find myself failing to write it down.

    Though that's probably when I come up with the best romantic senarios... and why half the time everything starts as a romance only to explod into something more when I get around to editing it. :}

    Have fun on Spring break!
