I oftne have problemns with motivation. Can't be arsed to go to work, clean my room or whatever. Over the years I've had a million ideas for novels, even going so far as to write entire multi page plot lines or character studies in preperation. However, the motivation factor always kicks in and after a few weeks I lose interest in whatever idea I had and these potential best sellers (I'm a dreamer!) go unwritten.
Not anymore!
I recently had what I believe to be an awesome idea that all stemmed from a single question...What would happen if the internet collapsed? At first I figured not a whole bunch but then when I really thought about it I realised our lives as we know them would fall the fuck apart. So I started writing. No plot lines, no character back stories, no bullshit. I just wrote down my fictional account of what would happen, what I would think if the internet collapsed and anarchy broke out. It's been a few days since I wrote anything else but then in a rare bid to research an idea I typed in 'internet collapse' to google and low a behold a list of articles popped up about scientists who had already started theorising and testing what would happen.
So now I'm in the mind set of 'no time to lose homes!' The way I've seen it happen in my minds eye is quite and original take on the apocolypse and now that I know others are thinking about it I've gotta get on my grind. It would be like thinking 'Shit wouldn't it be cool if wizards actually existed and I was one of them?' a week before Harry Potter came out or 'Imaging if Jesus was actually one pimp motherfucker and Marry Magdeline was his hoochie mama?' just before reading The Da Vinci Code. So no I have all the motivation I need, gotta get my idea sorted and out there before the thought police come along and steal it from me, robbing me from millions in potential revenue stemming from the book itself, film rights, computer games and lunch boxes.
Stoopid thought stealing nazi fucks!
Laters dudes, I'm off to scibble my shit down
