And then my head explodes...

Have you ever had so many things going on, and so many ideas, and so many visions in your head that you feel like your head is going to explode?

That's me today.

I saw 2 writing competitions today, both with the same deadline. So I was thinking of ideas for that.
But then I was thinking about my WIP, and I need ideas for that.
And then I remembered an idea I never wrote down, and thought about that.

AHHH! *explode*

So what do I do? Do I continue with my WIP, write and outline for the new idea before I forget it again, think of new ideas for the writing competitions....or die from too much thinking at once?

I know what I'll do. Doses of Supernatural and X-Files will clear my head and get my ideas a'flowin'.
And distract me.

Oh How I Less Than Three...

I ♥ H.P. Lovecraft. Heard of him? Please say you have. He's brilliant, genius, incredible, amazing, awesome!

H.P. Lovecraft was a writer that I consider one of the best of all time. He wrote horror, fantasy and scifi and with over 108 works under his belt he was an icon in horror.

He was the master of creepy, scary goodness and without him I probably wouldn't be the girl I am today (interpret that as you will).
And hey, before you think I'm weird, a lot of famous folks find inspiration from H.P. too. Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, even filmmaker John Carpenter believes in his work.

From the battle of giant alternate universe Gods, to fish people who kill everything in their path, to evil mad scientists and witches who feed off children. His writing is not for the faint of heart, but once you get into it you can't help but read more and more.

My favorite of his stories is "Shadows Over Innsmouth" about a town of people who in order to become immortal must worship Dagon, a fish God, and become like him. A man is sent to investigate the strange town and the townspeople must do whatever it takes to ensure he will not leave. Muahaha!

Yes, H.P., I ♥. He was a creepy, gory, nasty dude and I love every story of his I get my hands on. Some of the scenes I am writing in my WIP is inspired by H.P., and I hope to do him proud.

If I Had To...

If I had to work at an office, I'd work at Dunder-Mifflin/Sabre Company.

Why? Well...
Creed hasn't done work in over 2 years and can buy you anything in the world. Michael plays a movie every week in the conference room. Angela makes brownies and plans parties every other week. Pam has the reading club and they eat finger sandwiches. Dwight makes the office safe with his pepper spray and nunchuks. Jim pulls awesome pranks on Dwight and they would be hilarious to watch play out. Meredith plays solitaire all day. Phyllis makes rabies quilts.

The Office is dreamy. Imagine going into work and doing nothing all day but hanging out and having parties.
Michael might be a handful, but it seems worth it. He will consider you family and take you in.

You know what?

I think I watch too much of The Office. But if I had to...I would work there...
