Sometimes this is true for me. What I plan on writing doesn't really happen, and everything goes in a totally different direction. I have said before that my pen had different ideas than my brain, and they were better. Does this happen to you?

Totally. Sometimes an idea starts to form in my mind, and then I get a notebook out and start expanding on it, and suddenly it's way more then I could think of.

Huh. This is a good question. I don't really know. I feel like I have to think really hard when I'm writing. I'm not sure if my pen ever writes by itself like that. But yeah, I agree that you can start off with one idea and it will completely change. Or sometimes something seems like a really good idea in my head, then I write it down and it seems really dumb, and I'm like, "Why did I even THINK that this was a good idea?" lol. :)

Oh, that's happened to me more than once.

I'll go sit down to my computer to write, and have an idea for something, and I'll finish my idea, but I can't stop typing. It's good writing, but my idea gets twisted and wharped into something I didn't expect.

I always have more ideas once I sit down to write. I normally just go with it. I used to think people were full of crap when they talked about the characters having a life of their own and taking the story in another direction but it really happens sometimes.

Never. I always have to visualize my stories before I even write down anything. It's like making a movie before I write it. I usually map it all out before I even start, tweaking it along the way.

I just hit a completely unexpected twist in my story. I was writing, and it just happened! If you guy's want to know what I mean, it's in Roses for June in chapter 5.

wow. i need to catch up on your story, veronica. lol. sooo much writing i have to read... :D

btw... ephona, i totally agree w/you! when i first think up an idea for a story, it starts playing like a movie trailer in my head. lol. :D

Wow, same here!

haha. :D

Actually, taht has never happened to me
:)

I luv movie trailers. . . totally off topic but i luv the new twilight trailer. I can watch it all day if i have no television.
But yes my pen sometimes does have more ideas than i do.

i luv that trailer!!

yeah, my pen is amazing, its like a mini eisenstein, haha. but of course, i have to be holding the pen, so it cant have ALL the credit....haha.

I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT!!!


ya, i wish my pen would tell me it's many secrets. I need new ideas.

haha, same here.

this is really weird...but last night i had a dream of my nanowrimo story, and i was seeing a movie trailor of it!! it was REALLY cool!! and all these little details were accurate, like the shade of the main character's hair or the words on the paper he was writing!! it was freaky!! XD

omg, awesome!!

i had a strange dream, and thats all i remember....

lol

i hate not being able to remember dreams. i always write them down.

i always forget mine, like, the second i wake up. some of them i only vaguely remember the basic idea...:(

yeah. once i had a dream about a person that got kidnapped. it was so scary. and then two weeks later, it happened.

wait what?? to who?? 0.0

i've had scary dreams of kidnappings before...but thankfully, they've never come true...0.0

i dont even know who it was.

oh

thats whats scary about it.

u should write a story about that! And what you would do if u actually knew the person! I have tons of dreams, and i hardly ever remember them, but if I do, I have a feeling they're important, so I write them down in a dream journal I have, just in case I need new story ideas, like now.

yeah, one of my endings is going to be like that.

When I would write stories for creative writing, I got the title and first paragraph, and I was off. I just kept typing till the end of the story. I made it up in my head as I typed it.

I really should have a dream journal..because I have strange dreams that I forget a few minutes after I wake up...hmm.

Uhh, talk about strange dreams:

Last night I was being chased by an evil, giant (size of a large bunny) hampster! I don't know what it was going to do to me, but it was enough to scare me enough to wake me up sometime after 5am.

See, I knew it was evil because it died and then it came back to life.

But the setting of the dream was cool. I was outside a house that was mine (but not in real life) and it was amazing!

I also had a dream that I had to go home and change because I was supposed to wear something somewhat nice (like khaki and blouse nice) but I was wearing sweats because that was the only thing that was clean in my laundry basket.

interesting...

woooow

no one's checked this since october ... UNTIL NOWWW!! BWA HAHA

haha, I don't even remember those dreams! But they sound really funny!

haha, I don't even remember those dreams! But they sound really funny!

Oooo, wait! I do remember the hamster dream!!!! Sort of...

actually my brain hhas better ideas than my pen

I probably should take the time to write it down, but it so much better when I write with my brain. If I write it out, I miss things I would have remembered to put into the story. I just like the random approach. I definitely write with, and always will write with my brain.

I will get a story I dea then write it down then go and tell my mom about it. We talk for hours, bouncing ideas off eachother then after we hav ethe whole story then I go off and write it. Fyi it always ends up being totally different then when I started with the story.

omg that happens to me too!! haha

:D

^_^

I get stories in my head, and sometimes they don't work out on paper, and sometimes it's vice versa. Sometimes my character's try to take me places I don't want to go, but have to anyways, because it makes for a better story in the end.
Also: We need people for our Rentheads discussions! We're trying to bring in 25 people before July 25th. Come join us! If anyone decides to come, tell who recruited you. It's a bit of a contest as well. Whoever brings in the most becomes a moderator. The group is Rentheads.

Usually my brain and my pen are enemies, so I'll never find out which is better i guess. *sigh*. Either my brain refuses to work with my pen, or my pen refuses to listen to my brain. Both I'm afraid won't listen to their therapists, and will probably never get along. :)

Lol :D

I believe I was just thinking the same. They are enemeies!

never, really. I write mostly from my brain--and from my heart

ooh that's deep. haha :D
