Lousy Smarch Weather!
I am crippled by allergies today, it began last night as I "lay down to sleep". I noticed that when I normally would be breathing comfortably and sleeping, I was stuffed up and headachy and rubbing my poor battered sinuses. (My sinuses being the victims of battery...not being dipped in egg and flour. And when I say "battery" I mean the act of whomping someone, not the little energy storage cyllinders that you put in toothbrushes, vibes, and video games.) Sadly, I can't take allergy meds because they raise the blood pressure.
Good news is, I am in fact writing a bit everyday. It's longhand and not anything to phone home about; but i'm making myself do it. Surely something will inspire me to greatness before too long. I can't decide if I still want to write horror or if I need to take a break from terryfying myself long enough to find my own unique sarcastic voice.
I worry that if I write biting, hilarious sarcastic stuff that I'll be lumped in that group of disturbed comedy writers. Comedy writers always seem to be either using comedy to deal with the horror that is life, or the comedy is a masque to keep from dealing with the horror that is life. Either way, I'd like to appear more forthcoming with my own craziness. I tend to turn INTO the crazy skid...and just make the most of my imbalances...without turning to cocaine like so many great comedians before me. In real life, I'm pretty funny...but when writing I long to inspire fear--terror in fact. I wonder what my problem is...
You are a strike to the heart. You make the heart
stop and ultimately cause death. *deet deet
deet deet deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* Yup, that's
your favorite noise.
What is your DEATH BLOW? (w/PICS)

Of course, there are very few books (or films for that matter) that successfully combine scaring the hell out of someone AND making people laugh. Perhaps I'll be the one to perfect that genre.
