Bloody hell!… What has happened to me? I used to be so good with deadlines. I would get set the work and then would get it done asap usually within that week.
But now…now when it actually counts.. bloody writers block! OK, so I have this piece of writing to do …called "New Writing" ..oh right!
A creative yet critical piece of writing…only 1000 words… that tackles ideas within your practice and is also a way of writing that you dont usually work in. GREAT! So where do I start?
Well I wrote half of it a while back… transcribed a conversation had with someone that I had written about within my practice… and we talked about why he thought I did; the ideas of roleplay; and of voyeurism. I think this part is quite successful. It really puts another look on my work…you see the ‘one watched”s feelings…not just my own.
And now on to the second half! Deadline…Wednesday… Yes that’s tomorrow… Well…ok so my idea… to continue the idea of conversation…but in this half, take quotes from artists, authors, writers, philosophers and use these as parts of the conversation…
Does that make sense? Probably not…but it does in my head..and hopefully will once it is put to paper…or screen and then to paper!
It will basically be me, having a conversation/discussion with authors, artists, writers, philosphers, perhaps poets….about roleplay and writing.
I plan to have it starting with the transcribed conversation..justified to the right…and the second will be justified to the left… an attempt at a more free piece on the right and the more constructed on the left..and hopefully then I will have fulfilled the criteria of citing references and being creative..and having an argument with in the piece…discussing the themes within my work. Sounds great to me… that is if it works…so its in for midday tomorrow…that means I have approximately 24hours to get it written, edited, printed off and handed in…
I’d better get cracking!
