Somewhat Odd Question for Writers?

I more get lost in my own headspace than anything else, thinking about weird theories and imaginary scenarios. I'm the kind of person who holds arguments with themselves and loses. I can't really say which comes first though: my lost head space or my writing. I wrote my first short story when I was five, but I was a weird little child.

I know quite a few people who are similar to this in their own way, all of whom are artists in some fashion. And then I know plenty of people who I want to grab by the shoulders and shake because they don't question anything.

This happens to me a lot, but I'm not really sure if it's a result of me being a writer, or if it's what led me to being a writer. I would guess it's the latter because I've been this way ever since I can remember. Sometimes I just spent hours, staring into space or pacing back and forth, thinking about why I noticed something nobody that was with me did, and what's the reason I was drawn to it.

This post was one of those things. I've literally been here for half an hour, just thinking about the source of my unusual thoughts. And I'll probably keep thinking about it the rest of the night. What I think of most is the little unnoticed connections between everyday occurrences. It might just all be made up in my head, but I'd like to think it's not.

I could probably write a longer answer here, but I'm not really sure it would all make sense. It's been a long day and now I'm completely lost in my mind! So maybe I'll email you sometime when my mind's a bit clearer :)

Not to sound like a moron, but no. I've never felt that way. I don't think the fact that I can write well has inherently changed me. Writing is something I do, something I love to do, but creating fiction or giving life to my own thoughts in no means depresses me, nor do I believe that as a result of that, I am somehow more cultured or more deep (whatever THAT means) than other people. I think the biggest thing writing has given me as a literal activity is that I have the skills (and, let out importantly, the vocabulary) to turn my dreams into script. If I think of something, I can put it on paper. I can write whole new worlds that never would have existed. I can tell lies to tell truths. There's nothing sad about that. Thinking about it makes me pretty amazed... The miracle of human consciousness and whatnot.

Mmm, I know I think about obscure things a lot more than any of my friends. I know what you mean about getting depressed when you go for a walk: I sometimes feel like that too. I think a lot about death, not suicide or anything, just about dying and what happens after it etc.

My imagination is very overactive so it takes me hours to get to sleep because I find it hard to comprehend just how much KNOWLEDGE there is to know, and how much there it to be discovered, if that makes any sense.

I was watching the Olympic gymnastics yesterday and it just ocurred to me that if we all walked on our hands would the world be designed differently? Or what if we were all as tall as the basketball players? How big would the doors in our houses be?

I don't know, maybe that's just me. Althought writers do seem to be the eccentric type. Artistic temperament maybe? :)

Oh, I definitely get this. It happens all the time. Writing is definitely a gift, so it would make sense if we have a sort of clairvoyance. And the fact that our imaginations are very big (Or at least most writers...fiction...yea) just adds to that, I'd think. So yes, I understand your question. I feel like that a lot.

I hope this helped, in whatever way it could...

I know where you're coming from! I know it's just a feeling, but whenever I'm around my peers, I get a sense that I have a deeper understanding. I'm not sure how to word it, but if I gave additional explanation, I think you'd agree :)

I love looking at people and thinking about their pasts. You never know--that girl walking down the street may have been raped. That Italian boy at the bakery may be an alien from Mars, as ridiculous as it is. I see things in a different eye--in a writer's eye.

Don't be surprised if you get an email from me! I love talking to and corresponding with fellow writers :)

Good query. Main characters truthfully do for probably the most aspect comply with my equal morals, although devout association varies. I for my part do not suppose well ethical persons are constrained to just people who suppose a distinctive approach. I wager you would say there are a couple of small variations. My person believes organized marriages are ok. She's in a single herself, and sees not anything incorrect with them. I, however, do not suppose they are well. There are a couple of boundries I is not going to pass with principal protagonists although. (Exception is they had been as soon as unhealthy, and now turning well... But that is extraordinary.) a million. Premarital intercourse and adultry... Part due to the fact I feel it is incorrect. (Call me ancient style. It's been informed earlier than.) But a greater aspect is why? No significantly. Why? Half the time it does not have to be there. two. Enjoyment from hurting different persons. Yes, they may be able to kill. But they cannot uncover any pride in it. three. Abuse of any form closer to kids. As for my antagonists... Well they may be able to pass any ethical strains they desire. That's why they are evil. BQ1: Well most likely, I do not spend plenty of time considering this probability. I believe she'd most likely marvel approximately her possess sanity. BQ2: Definitely. All the time. BQ3: If I have a deck of playing cards, all of them need to face the equal path. Period. That's why bicycle playing cards are so excellent, due to the fact they may be able to face both path. BQ4: I cannot feel of a quirk but, however I'm nonetheless getting to grasp her. BQ5: Not truly certain.

I think that a lot of writers feel that way. They observe their surroundings and describe them. I don't think I necessarily notice things more, but I do think I "see life through the lens of a story." Sometimes, I see people and think they would be a good story character. I see people and events around me and think they would be good in a story, and I could use them to convey a message. Sometimes I think that I would make a good story character. Sometimes I go somewhere or see something and get an idea for a story. I wonder what is the story behind things. Would you answer mine please? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AifLd...
