The Loquacious Lass

How cheesy am I?

When you’re trying to write and listen to a CD or something on your computer at the same time, here is a word of advice: Be careful about what you put on shuffle. I was just about to start one last attempt of getting some extra words in for the day, and I had my old Vitamin C CD on (remember her? I’m a child of the ’90′s…). And then, “Graduation (Friends Forever)” came on. I haven’t thought very much about graduation since it happened. Working on writery things and other distractions, that sort of stuff. And kind of avoiding thinking about it.

I cried. Then I played the song again and cried some more. Sometimes, crying is theraputic; sometimes it puts me in a bad mood for several days. This was a good cry.

Needless to say, however, the planned extra little bit of writing I had hoped to get in before midnight is not going to be happening tonight, I’m afraid. I’m not terribly worried, however; I have 15,009 words already, and I just started writing this latest novel attempt on the first of the month. A little over 15 thousand words and almost 70 pages, and this thing’s barely even gotten started! But I’m having fun with it. Witches, true love, jealous royalty, pirates, fairies, gnomes…none of it truly serious. And definitely not excellent literature by any means. Just fun stuff. And I like it. What’s the point of making something for others to eventually enjoy if you don’t enjoy making it?

One last thing: Is there anybody out there? Hello? I think I hear an echo…Anyways, if there is someone out there on the Internet who is reading this, drop me a comment. I don’t bite (much).

Planned Projects

The Prince, the Princess, and the Pirate: [working title; in progress; has more genres than I know what to do with, so I call it a pseudo-fairytale] My current novel about a prince and a princess. Contrary to what the current title implies, the pirate is not significantly important. Think of something along the lines of The Princess Bride, Pirates of the Caribbean 1, Beauty and the Beast, and some fairytales being thrown in a blender.

The Pirate Chronicles: [WNP--work not progressing; historical fiction with a bit of fantasy] The series I say I’m going to write, start writing, and don’t finish and quit. I am going to finish one of these days, though. Because I must. It’s about pirates.

Off the Edge of the Map: [planning; fantasy] This is going to be my Really Big Project in 2007. If I can figure out what it’s actually about. I have a character, I have a world, I don’t have much else. Sigh. Once I finish PP&P, I’ll figure it out.

An Introduction

And the world weeps with joy, for I have a blog. A most likely dazzlingly boring blog, but a blog nonetheless.

My name is Morrisa, and I am a writer. Well, I’m trying to be a writer. I don’t care what anybody tells you–it’s not simple. But nobody ever said creativity was simple.

Anyways, this is the home of me. Just a dreamer who thinks she might possibly eventually be able to make a living out of using her rambling imagination.

And, just something to consider and remember:
