bjornwildeAs multiple internet sources say, fuck motivation. I keep waiting for it and not finding it. Or it teases me and then runs away or gets frightened off when I sit down to the keyboard. I'm tired of waiting for it. It can come to me while I'm sitting and making myself write crap for 15 minutes (if I have to), gets words out is what I need more than motivation.
Also, I had another realization with RPG writing and canon OOMs. When I do this, I tend to keep the original story in mind and write to tell that story. Which doesn't always work for me as I tend to be attracted to side characters, who would have their own story within the main story. So simply writing the canon as the story presented, with a shift in perspective or added details, is likely doomed at the beginning. At least for me, I need to find my own story within the canon and not confine myself to the narrow path of the source canon as if I were merely a train trapped on the rails. Yes, staying within the same world and being involved with the main story is important, but Sam's story would be a very different thing than the story we know of Winter Soldier.
To come later, some thoughts on the world of Star Wars; thoughts on fandoms interpretations of age and the Force's awareness.
