I understand the underlying concern. I am one of those individuals who you see with a Blackberry, creeping around in the shadows, texting away and foaming at the mouth (okay, maybe not). The texting dispensation that we've recently encountered is absolutely annoying. Not, for me at least, because of the lack of knowledge towards grammar and courtesy, but towards the idea that WHY IS EVERYONE SO SLAP HAPPY ABOUT TEXTING?

Okay, I understand its easier than a phone call. It may even be easier than an email (though with the new phones they are pretty much the same), but why is it now the common medium?

I push myself to try to keep every form of communication decent, even when what I'm conjuring maybe just a hello or a thank you. Today, the youth especially, aren't pushing towards these details simply because they aren't pushed towards it.

Simply stated this culture (global I would think) is ebbing too far towards cold misconstrued brevity instead of keeping itself inside the shelter of admirable quality (while drinking a comfortably warm cup of self-respect, of course).

I try not to rely on being inspired. I feel that if I only hold out till then I'll fail as a writer, not because its wrong mind you but because I want to expand my boundaries.

I find myself writing when I really REALLY dont want to. When I do this, about 15 minutes into the session I'm sprinting and I cant keep up with myself. Likewise, since I write longer fiction than most other people and what I write is pertaining to the stories, I find that I can explore plot points better (and even find some plot holes I need to fill up).

This said I do very much cherish the times in which I am inspired. I make sure that that fuel is drained as much as possible during that session of writing so that the next day can still have an inkling of inspiration because what I wrote was great (usually).

I often welcome the idea of writing myself into a corner. Heck, its an outright challenge!

We all know writing can be easy some days and impossible the next but sometimes all it takes is a decision. If you don't want to rewrite a certain part because you're so attached to it then thats your right. If you feel that their is another way then go for it.

But when the time comes and you've hit that wall again you might need to finally accept the fact and rewrite the scene/chapter/novel.

I'm at the point in my biggest project (100,000 word novel...ish) where I need to begin to tie it all together. Its hard for me to finish it by going stream of thought. I've found myself reading and rereading -- note editing mind you -- everything I've written so I can decide what conclusions would fit the best.

In short, theres a time and place for writing by the seat of your pants or sitting back and recollecting. Its up to you to see when its appropriate.

When you test both ideas for this trap you've woven yourself you'll realize which works best for you and I hope that you run with it for the rest of your writing career.

Thanks for the complements!

Haha, nice pun. Thanks for the comment!

I've never watched heroes either but I can certainly see the similarity.

Thanks for the complements and I'm with you. I'd love to see what happens next as well! XD

yea, rereading it I've seen a lot of awkward sentences I didnt see before. Thanks for the helping hand with that.

I'm very much glad you like the pacing as well. Thanks again!

Thanks for the input towards the syntax and flow. I'd written it, read it once and edited it, then threw it on the site.

I'll fix it all for my own copy and keep the flow in mind with the next coming chapter(s).

I thought about changing the title but I feel it adds to the suspense.

Thanks for the input!

So do I and I'm with you to see where its leading :)

Haha thats for your exuberance. Ive been busy with college and whatnot. I'll be pushing more stuff onto this site as I get back into a normal swing of things.

Glad that you liked it. I may even write a chapter, who knows!
