Nanowrimo Day 3
Nov. 4th, 2007 01:27 amI haven't written today >.<
I'll do it but later…I am so tired.
I couldn't get to sleep last night so I took a pill and then I woke up at ten am. ugh! Nancy wasn't in the apartment so I just lounged around cause I could.
So yesterday on the 2nd I wrote maybe 300 words and then another 300 around midnight so I guess you could say that's for day 3. But I'll write more.
I reread what I did write and I like the flavor of it and the direction…now I just have to keep with it.
I am going to drop the writing on the body class. no "I think I will" no I AM because uhm…it just squicks me out. It's not what I thought it was going to be. It kind of intimidates me and it's not something…well the readings aren't something that I am going to be…modeling or (tk)ing . I write High Fantasy Fiction/Epic Fantasy…with the emphasis on FANTASY…not smut. Not romance although I like romantic elements.
I think if I drop WotB it will give me the opportunity to better concentrate on Fables.
The reason I took the fables class was because it looked interesting and…I though that it would be a good way to drop in those elements that make fables and tales so lasting. What re those things that make them capable of living so long. Those things that people resonates with them and that triggers something in them..some sort of hazy memory or instinct…
I want to put that into my writing so that when they read my stuff they get this sense of…"I've read this before" or more like.."this is a familiar tale, but in a fresh way with twist…or a story I should know but I don't remember this version of it."
is any of that making sense?
Well it does in my head…and that's what matters.
Anyways….
Oh! There was something that caught my attention and really has started to bother me.
Okay..Thursday (I think) I was watching one of my judge shows.
(I watch judge shows because I have no drama in my life. when you stay to yourself and am so introverted that you keep people away, this is as much drama I've got)
Anyways…it was divorce court where the MAN was taking his "wife" to court for divorce. But the judge started with the woman instead of the man…the wife claimed that her husband was a lothario.
What Got me was that she says: "He was on the phone and then he brings this "FEMALE" around…."
and that got me thinking…
The Nazi's began thinking of the Jews as animals as things, as "it"s so that the mind could accept the killing of their fellow man. I think I've heard that as long as you don't associate them with human it's easier to not think of them as such.
And that makes me very very sad.
As some of you may know, I am "friends" with a very strong feminist: Naamen. Yeah he's a guy but he associates himself as a feminist.
And after hearing this woman call this other woman a "Female" it just bothered me. I mean if you called her a girl, or an "other woman" she's still human. You call her a "Female" that's the same as calling her a slag, a slut, a whore, a bitch, a thing. It gives you leave to hate her to dehumanize her. And that's just a step up from giving permission to kill her. permission to hate indiscriminately and destroy that "thing" because she's at that point not a person (to the wife). And if she can make her not a person… you see where I am going with this?
This is a problem where there is no easy solution. Same way with my story Truth seeker. There is no "Easy" solution for racism and the killing of another race of people just because they aren't the same as you. Or because you are afraid of them.
However! I am a Voldmort sympathizer. Strange isn't it? I think it's because I am also an admirer of the Arabian horse and that of "pure blood" and family strains. but that may be a discussion for another day because I've lost my train of thought….it's left the station…
