A question of character...
11 years ago
For the writers out there: do you ever find your thoughts dominated by a particular character or story of yours, such that they always find a way into your stream of consciousness?
For me, it's Sina. Even when I try not to think about the story series or her for a couple days, inevitably a song will come on the radio or in my head that leads me back to her, and then to the story. I'm honestly a bit stuck on the story at the moment - I've got some ideas for restructuring the first book and the second as I'm writing it, but I want to ruminate on them a bit longer before I put them to paper - but no matter what I do she winds up in my thoughts. Whether it's a scene that unfolds in my mind's eye, or a possible art piece that usually doesn't find its way to layouts, she sneaks in there one way or another. Sometimes it's even just a scene from the books that plays back out again, even though I've read and rewrote them half a dozen times already.
Songs/Albums that always remind me of her:
Страх (Fear) by Hackmesser (the Hell scenes)
Isän Kädestä (By Father's Hand) by Ruoska (her journey through the stories)
Deform's entire EP DEFORMократия (the Hell scenes)
Fremdkörper (Strange Body) by Maerzfeld (the Hell scenes)
I don't think any particular character or story has consumed me this thoroughly before. In fact, I'd be lying if I said she didn't actually change the way I look at a lot of things now, she's affected me that much on a personal level. I think I just need to find a way to write all these books and get them out of the way, or I just won't be able to focus on any of my other projects.
