As I take a break from working on another Oddworld video (very ambitious for me, a huge medley with about 5 minutes worth of different songs), I'm sitting at the kitchen table at my dad's house, looking out at the woods. Actually, it's too small to be considered a forest, so I call it "mini-woods," but I'm rambling. My writer's block has been taking a huge toll on me, so I thought I'd find inspiration from the great outdoors. So far, the only thing I've thought of was printing out a SoulStorm Brew label and pasting it to my soda can. Har har.
Maybe it's hard to get inspiration from foliage because my main original story is set in the distant future, with very few forested areas. In fact, most stories I write never have much natural things to them at all... Makes me think of the everlasting fight between the Oddworld Natives and Industrialists. I can understand the need to modernize, but it comes with such a huge price, and the Glukkons & Vykkers are more than willing to pay it, as cruel as they are. Sorry about getting all philosophical, but when my mind wanders, I tend to do that.
Since almost every other thought that's been running through my mind for the last week has been Oddworld related, I'm thinking of taking a break on original stuff and working on something Oddworld-ish. I do NOT like writing fan fiction, though... Not unless I can have an interesting twist to it, while still being close to the source material. Alternate universe stories always appeal to me. Science fiction is also a hard genre for me to work with, so I'm trying to go with something easier... I'm thinking either crime drama, comedy, or both. The mix would of course be dark humor, which is my idea of humor anyway. I'll have to think about it some more. Until then, I'll continue to stare out the window and work on that video.
...Also, sorry about another blog so quickly. And the length. When I start writing, I have trouble stopping.
