keykI look at the books we read in class from As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner, The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, and I get mad at them because I had a lot of their same ideas, and since they're pretty big names, I might be accused of copying them if I use my ideas. But I'll still use them anyways. I like my stories. I don't see what's so genius about using different narrators like Faulkner did...I mean, I thought it was pretty common, and I was going to use it, too. The character Tom in The Glass Menagerie is almost an exact replica of Dusk. It took me years to develop Dusk, and I thought he had the most developed personality, so it makes me sad to see it in a popular work. I want my comics to be modern literature-ish since I can't write and I like designing characters. But I'm sick of seeing big-name pieces of literature and manga and anime having the same ideas I have. I have an ego, even if it's small. :/
Dusk, like Tennessee William's Tom, came out of me, or more like the person I wish I could be. This is probably why I like him so much. Strangely enough, my life is developing a lot like the life I made for Dusk earlier. Dusk may seem like an irresponsible lazy jerk, or maybe a really unrealistic character even (he is based of my wants and not my actual life, life), and people may see him this way, but I don't. It all rides on how well I can pull him off in his story. I also hope my Elysium plot device doesn't flop since it connects a lot of my stories together. I will do my best to avoid deus ex machinas since I hate them with a passion. ^^;
It's also Dusk's fault that I considered writing. If big names have my ideas, why can't I be a successful writer like Dusk became? Dusk didn't really have dreams though, and wrote because people happened to like his work. I really can't write though, but I wouldn't mind taking creative writing classes. But I wouldn't pursue writing as my only career like Dusk does, and I wouldn't expect to be successful at it either.
Kieden will be an autobiographical character almost. He is a guy, and he'll probably be pretty feminine, but I hope I can pull him off well. According to research, I'm pretty mentally and emotionally unstable, so I hope he won't be too boring. He'll be in Sera's story, and I've drawn him a lot, but I haven't posted him online yet. A lot of the characters in this story will be made similar to Dusk's concept except more in state than in future (I doubt that made much sense). I'm no writer (my English class grades can prove that, and I'm no John Irving either), but I still like my stories and characters. I really do.
So the homework sites my school uses to show homework is down, making studying difficult (review sheets are online for chem :/), and I have a sore throat when I have scenes to practice tomorrow (Shakespeare no less), and a 3 hour long rehearsal on Tuesday. I still have PLENTY of dates to worry about. I won't have any freedom until AFTER sophomore year is over. I knew it would be bad, but not this bad. I wonder how bad the next school years will be.
By the way, Happy belated birthday, Jeff! Didn't say that yesterday, did I (do you even look at this?) Go greet him ,too :![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
