Hello again. I understand that you are getting fed up with all the Supernatural talk, but the reason I talk about it is because it is a really important thing to me (especially now that the new season has started). I am the guy who is into all these weird geeky things and talks about them all the time. And as a matter of fact I have been toning it down. You have no idea how much I could talk about it.
So, my life is routine. Always has been. Before it was school and now it's taking care of kids, and in the evening just not doing anything. And sometimes I wonder just what am I doing with my life. What do I want to be, what I try to be. And I have no idea. I know what I like to do, but what do I want to do with all these things I like doing? When I think about my future I see all these flashes, all these possible futures ahead and I like them. I like the one where I am a baker and have my own cafe, I like the one where I'm an art teacher at a high school, probably, and I like the one where I'm a stay-at-home mom (though maybe not as much as some others), who plays video games with her kids after school. But somehow it doesn't feel like they are my futures. Like, this isn't my life. This is someone else's. Maybe I should start studying creative writing and actually write seriously for a change. I could write dozens of novels just by using myself as a main character and giving her all these lives I dream about, but can't quite claim as my own....
Would that be a series someone would read? Like, if you came across five or so books which all feature the same protagonist, but who always has a different job, boyfriend, girlfriend, kids, overall situation in life, would you read it? They would be parallel universes, somehow tied together in the space-time continuum. Some would even be set in fantasy worlds, where magic and mystery is the norm. She would be a cook, a teacher, a phone salesman, a detective, an adventurer, a soccer mom, a mage, a scientist, a radio host, an actress, anything and everything.
Would you read that?
Pie out.
Oh, ps, next Friday I will be in Canada without an internet connection, so I will write a post before we leave and you can publish it on the right day, k?
Oh and pps, I just finished listening to this podcast/radio show called Welcome to Night Vale, which I think you might enjoy. It's funny and original and all kinds of messed up. It's also on-going and updates twice a month, on the 1st and 30th. So check that out?
I wanted to write a comment because I haven't done that yet.
ReplyDeleteFirst. Yeah, I'll post it.
Second. Being into all these weird geeky stuff is a good thing. I'm into geeky stuff too. You're just into different geeky stuff as I am. You do television and the internet and video games, and I do books and science. I guess together we cover it all.
Third. That series (the book one) sounds so cool. Though there is the point that I imagine all the books somehow being tied together so in the end all of it somehow comes together. Which means it's a limited-length in advance all books planned series. (Shut up, it's a perfectly well phrased sentence.) I'm not sure if that was your idea of it too....
