The Bunny Bites

I believe today at 5am i was bitten by the plot bunny. It is so typical this occurs in one of the busiest weeks of the year ( i'm not refering to Christmas; i haven't thought of that at all) the week before we finish university! the week essays are due, photocopiers are having spasms in the library from over use and epona is pulling out her hair over stress of FYP, the future, essays and exams.
so this morning is double edged in a way. i have the start of a story ( not very original really) but i think i shall enjoy writing it (when ever i get time to do it). I know i need to put it all down, lay it all out before i put it in the back of my mind - i need to play with the ideas - imagine scenes and scenarios.
when will i do this i don't know!! i have meetings, deadlines and exams looming. the sensible part of me is saying wait till March or even summer when i have time, but i know by then i would have lost focus -strike when the iron is hot is very true with me.
i am so bad at time management as well or having to do more than two things at once - i like to place my undivided attention on one thing. live and breath it for ages and then i'll know it.
*sigh*
Anyhow, deep down i'm happy i thought of my story - i love the idea of my narrator. Contrary bastard that he is *laughs*
Anyhow upon finishing the amazing book thief - i thought of something

"Finishing a good book is like saying goodbye to an old friend"

I could only hope and dream to write a book such as 'the book thief'.

anyway, i best go - i have lectures etc to go to.
Merry Christmas!

Real Life Argh!!

I believe my 'quest' to become a novelist may have to be put on hold temporarily as 'real life' as intruded once again. University etc. has consumed my life; however i hope to get back on track (what track? what novel? Ha? Indeed) in early/mid new year. I was hoping ot at least be able to do some research and at least let a concept grow.
The fact is I have no idea/characters or anything. Recently i feel like i have been tapped dry; i don't write anymore, or have ideas or epiphanys. I want to become a writer so badly, yet every idea i think of; it feels flat. oddly it seems when i'm in a dull mundane atmosphere, my mind wanders and then thoughts creep in, sadly i haven't had 'boring' in a while! i have thought of writing fantasy, doing this and that; but none of it seemed original and very cliche. Even my 'fanfiction' style seems over complicated and overly flourished - i have seen this in reviews and in quizes. i need to take a step back and think less of 'yeats' etc and more of would i/or some normal person read this?
Why am i even discussing writing style, when i have nothing to write about!! i have nothing!
Argh i feel so frustrated with everything; work and now this. I just wish i had that idea - something that will spark me to write (and i have had it before) and then i will just write madly and obsessively listening to my Muse, radiohead and coldplay.
Sigh
Good times
