Stories

As I sit and get back into my writing I realize that pretty much every story we tell has elements drawn from other stories out there. I reminds me of a Pratchett novel discussing stories and how they affect our civilization. I'm really happy to be a part of the story telling but sometimes I wonder if I'm not being original.

It's moments like this that I remember there is very little original left in the world and all art is mostly re-imagining older things in new and fascinating ways. It may be the same story idea that has been told innumerable times before, but this time it has something new and different. It may just be the simple idea that it's being told through my rose tinted glasses, and I guess that's all that matters.

Hiatus over

Okay, after taking a long hiatus from writing to work on music and other areas of my life. I'm back into the swing of it. I feel I have to go and back log stories to get all caught up so each day I'll be writing extra to get back on track again.

Outside of just writing, I'm also working on getting my band moving in the Columbus music scene and working on a special 2 man comedy show with an absolutely hilarious friend of mine. Things are looking up again and I'm prepared to go full force for a while. :)
