Except not really. My middle name is Mae.
But you know what I mean.
Three posts & I have already managed to neglect this blog.
Honestly, the real reason I made it was because I have this epic fantasy world brewing in my mind.
Like, this really big, detailed, complicated place. & I want to have somewhere to post stuff about it other than just on my computer, in my documents.
I know no one reads this thing, but just having it out there, somewhere on the internet, makes me feel like... Idk, like... Someone might see it one day or something.
Of course, if I ever got this thing published then people would see it.
But in all reality, if I actually ever did manage to finish this & get it published, it wouldn't be for years & years & years & years. & years. & some more years. & maybe even some more.
It wouldn't be for a looooooooooooong time.
But. I still want to get some of what I've got of it crammed up into my head, out somewhere for possibly someone to see. I guess maybe so that I can feel like I'm doing something with & it might actually go somewhere. Because I wouldn't be the only one to see or know of it. Someone else could see & know of it too. I could talk to someone about it. It would exist somewhere than just in my head.
Of course, again, this 'someone' would be you, this non-existent reader of mine.
However, I will pay that no mind. Just humor me here.
Anyway. I don't actually really have anything written for this place yet (unless you count an already absurdly long explanation of what I know about the place thus far that's still only like halfway done). I've still got a shitload times a gajillion of things to plan out before I actually write anything for it.
Which, really, is ridiculous. I started this thing because I wanted to have something I could write for whenever I felt like it. From any character's point of view that I wanted to at any point in the story that I wanted to. But. I'm a perfectionist. I need to plan things & make sure they make sense & are... Well, good.
&, to perfectionists, it's not good unless it's perfect. If it isn't perfect, then it's not good enough. & even when it is good, it could still be better.
So, yeah. That puts a hinderance on things.
But don't let that make you think that I haven't done anything with this place. Oh-hohoho, au contraire mon ami.
If you could open up my head & search around the files in my brain until you found the one marked "(Unnamed)Fantasy World" that contains all the things I've got festering about the damn place & read through things a bit, you would undoubtedly 1) realize that I am freaking insane, 2) be really freaking confused (I am, so you sure as hell would be too), & 3) get buried in the extent of ideas boiling around in there. It's madness, I tell you. I'm trying to clean it up, but it's about as easy as... Like, cleaning my room.
The mood strikes rarely & when it does it's fleeting.
Anyway. I still think about it. Alot. It's just the more that I do, the more cluttered it makes that file up in that brain of mine. But, since I've kind of quit this website I used to frequent, I've got time on my hands.
Well. When I'm not playing FFXII, that is. Which is like, all the time recently....
But. That really long explanation thing I told you about before? I'm going to start working on that again. Maybe rereading it through will help kick start things in my head & I'll be able to do some cleaning up in my head (I should probably do some irl, really, my room is freaking messy) & start writing some more.
Even if only summaries/explanations/notes.
But, once I've got that explanation a bit more worked out, then I'll start posting some of it here.
In small doses, though, it's really long & I don't want to drown you. My non-existing reader.
With this whole place, though, there are already a couple things I could use some help on.
One, names. Like, names of places. Of cities, countries... Of races, of elements (There's alot of races in this story, & the way this world works is that everything has a spirit. All the elements, all people, everything. So I was thinking I could maybe have names for these spirits. Names cooler than just 'the spirit of water' or 'the spirit of earth'. Actual cool names that I could use for water & earth. You know what I mean?). So, if you could suggest some coolio fantasy-ish names that I could use for stuff, it would be appreciated.
&, also, people who can draw. I need to draw a map of this place, but I SUXORS at drawing. So, anyone who's willing to help me draw up a map of this place? That would be so orsum. 'Cause having a map would really help in me writing things for this world. So, again, if someone could help me out with that it would also be much appreciated.
Because, despite all of this (this I guess being this fantasy world, the things on this blog, & all the 'creative' things I do in general), I really am not all that creative... At least not when it comes to making up cool names or drawing maps...
Anyway. I think I'm done for now...
Dunno when I'll post the first installment of the explanation, but probably fairly soon. Within the week perhaps? Most likely.
Well then. I'm off. Fare the well. =]
(Oh, & P.S.- Completely off topic, but I also have questions about this place.
Can anyone tell me why some people seem to be subscribed to others twice, yet when I've subscribed to people I only show up once? & why doesn't my little icon have like... A picture? It's just a default icon. I've got a pro picture & everything... & I put an icon on my 'Google Account' profile, but I don't think it worked? Idk. This has just been confusing & aggravating me & I'd (once again) appreciate it if someone could explain it to me. Anyways, now I'm really done. So, ta. xD)
