In my mind, man, in my mind. Seriously though, I like to plan sagas and revisit different parts of the timelines with a character in mind, and then I think run the narrative over haphazardly to see what connections might arise from other subplots or in different moments of the narrative. I used to do it a lot when I was working or travelling. I usually don't write any of it down though, because that'd be sacrilegious and the gods would probably smite me. So I bundle them into my day to day life with long stringy sentences about what will always appear to be nothing on the outside, and what will arise occasionally after a few too many drinks. Basically, I don't like to write if I don't have to because I'm not much of a fan of work. I'd rather be doing something important on the inside where it counts then being subjected to the appraisal of the illiterate. The idea of writing one day may come to me within some sort of meta-nonfictional account of my dreams that dictate to my computer; however, that day is far off towards "The Point of No Return", and I just don't think I've managed the character development yet to a point where I could just give up and return to my old self before the "Change of Plans", or even the "Opportunity". I don't know though, maybe I'm fooling myself and this is just a way to get back at me in the early stages of timeline development, or is even some plot that is strangely connected to my uploaded self that has now figured out a way to enter into my dreamstates and manipulate my narrative self, causing havoc just so as to warn me off of writing anything down that I might not want to say, even to myself - which is of course only a fictional idea that I've thought up for this moment to explain why I might not ever be able to write at all. Writing is just to dangerous and detrimental to the safety of my imminent self that I probably just can't make him gift me ability to even rearrange that fictionalisation into a non-fictional account of how I wrote, or do now write to and for myself - the idea being that I have earned the right to say nothing to no one at any point in this dictation. The machine will not stop running though, so I don't know, I guess I'll never be written, I'll take up painting or some such activity that invalids do between masturbating and lunch; or I'll start a magazine just to force myself to write, and I'll write articles about psychopaths and politics, maybe with a hint towards some Bret Easton Ellis type of moralising seeping through subtle between the obscurantism and politics; though I don't like much of anything there in that mix, and I'm probably too dyslexic to start a magazine just to force myself to write - so that it, I won't write a god damn thing, unless that god is me in some future non-fictional way that I could inhabit a space that is able to be a time in the future and still impart wisdom to me about the current state of my affairs with literature.

You sound like a complete hack with a bad case of graphomania.

>>9888102
I used to write stories as a children, poetry as a teenager - then I suddendly stopped. You must have something to say, otherwise writing has no meaning.

Um, I wasss jus being like ironic, ok? Maybe you don't think I can hack it, but like who are you, with your JC Penny loafers.

Ugh....

Only complete nonintellectuals have nothing to say. Writing isn't even my main creative output, and yet I can't stop doing it, I need a place to archive and refine my thoughts.
