Guh, I miss writing while at work. It's not that I'm busy all the time now but there's just so many people popping in and out of my cubicle to drop stuff off that I'm paranoid someone might catch me. I know I'm not doing anything indecent, but I have this weird thing about people being around when I'm writing. I need to be completely isolated or the words don't come. Seems kind of counter-intuitive, me writing in a place where there are tons of people around and me needing complete isolation to write, but I got so used to writing at my work computer. It feels weird not be writing. I've barely written anything in two weeks.
And I have a couple of fic ideas kicking around. I hate not being able to commit any of them to paper, so to speak. I need to get used to writing from my home computer again.
Oh, and a random thought about point of view. Maybe the other writers out there want to chime in on this. So, I pretty much write third person limited. I was reading this book the other day and I was totally caught off guard when the author suddenly jumped between points of views of two characters in one scene. I mean, there's nothing wrong with third person omniscient, but it felt kind of lazy to me. But is it lazy? Is third person omniscient, say, more revealing? You can have two opposing view points at once, get more info out, and there's no need to have a break in the narrative to switch characters. I'm tempted to write something with third person omniscient, but I'm finding it hard getting past the idea that I can have more than one view point in one paragraph. It feels, I don't know, wrong somehow.
Being uncreative sucks. But the new TV season is starting soon. Yay, new episodes to watch!
