how original
Aug. 29th, 2011 07:51 amSo I am sick, which is fun, and perhaps an explanation for why I've been sleeping like a narcoleptic zombie for most of the past week. Yay.
Anyway, I've been wandering around my computer aimlessly, and I stumbled across this, and decided to post it for kicks -- it's sort of interesting, in a brain-archaeology kind of way. It started as me keeping a "director's notebook" for a production class (fuck, two years ago now) -- basically, our teacher had us just jot down whatever popped into our heads that was even vaguely related to our exercises, films and/or stories, and/or whatever we felt like -- and then I just kept jotting things down after that (it was easier once I had a place for it; usually I just ended up with a pile of little scraps of paper). Mine mostly tended towards untethered thoughts and intriguing concepts, sometimes little moments I witnessed in RL, sometimes just images that I liked. Anyway, the first half is the notebook; the latter is my current "original stories" file (I also have ones for fic ideas, vid ideas, and other observations [which crosses over with the original file sometimes]). Enjoy?
