Woah, I think I discovered something awesome.
Headers!
Anyway, I think Catleya is probably most valuable to me as a backdrop. With oodles of characters and places to dabble with, it’s really a place that I know intimately.
Sadly, I have yet to achieve what I really wanted to achieve. Ultimately, I want to create something of an epic – an operatic tale of grand proportions and meanings. Although I have attempted this task many times, I have not been able to realize it except in the area of simple romance stories, which I feel that I am done with for the time being.
I wonder what sort of plot I should spin. I can make little twists and turns in a simple story well enough, but to create a complex plot has always been the huge problem.
So what is my ultimate story that I want to tell?
It’s definitely a story about philosophy. It needs to make heavy use of symbolism and allegory. I want the scenes to be dramatic and compelling when they need to be, and light and comedic when drama is uncalled for. Although I love writing romance scenes, ironically I feel that they are the most ingenuine … they lack the purity of beauty that I really want to achieve.
I think one of the key importances is a good setting. It’s easy to write about your average city or even a futuristic one. But to have the right buildings, the right nuances, the right textures – that can really be everything.
The mystic qualities of life at its core .. those are what I wish to capture. The fleeting moments of foreign nostalgia, dust-covered memories of lives one never lived. That cold chill, that fear of the unknown and the unexplainable.
Overall, I’d just like to say that my brain is one of the most useless things known to mankind. It has 0 attention span and 0 capacity to remember things. Like what I was trying to say. Night night!
