I think I was in a strange mood for Media Law today. Mr J. used another method (can't remember which philosopher it was by, but that guy was Russian) to teach today, which is the reverse of the Socrates method, in which he'd only answer, and we have to ask the questions.

Half the class didn't ask; half did. I was in the latter, which surprised even me. Like I said, I must've been in a strange mood. Heh.

But I digress (again).

So anyways, because there was a lag in the questions, he commented on how Singapore's education system was detrimental to a person's development as a whole-brained person. We only use very much of one side of the brain in memorizing and memorizing stuff, neglecting creativity and imagination all-too-frequently.

So he was kinda asking who read poems? who drew? doodled? read? wrote?

And I, in my strange mood, raised my hands to the reading poems, reading, and writing portions (so sue me).

It brings back a rush of poignant memories, how I started writing when I was twelve; how my works then were just pure...fluff and crap; how I couldn't write a real character for nuts. And, it wasn't until I signed up at FF.net and started talking, liaising, and collaborating with other writers that I managed to improve, even as my style turned darker, grittier, more depressing, more antsy.

It's been quite a while since I last wrote. That was...mm...a few days before internship ended, if memory serves me. And yes, I write during internship, when I had nothing else to do. I started stories, continued others where I left off; I wrote more poems, did more role-plays.

Merely...what? a month or so of not writing anything, being swamped by work and projects and what-nots, and I realized: I miss writing. I started losing inspiration for writing original stories after "Songbringer," an original fantasy story I took six months to complete, and focused on fanfictions for a while. And then, even my drive and inspirations died: smothered by life.

But today...after today, somehow, the drive returned. I feel like writing something again, anything. And this idea about the Erinyaes have been bugging me...if I can form a basic skeletal plot, it's back to writing I go!

And...yes. "Full Circle: Chapter Six" has to be written, too. And the Riddick fic. And the Orc fic. And the LotR fic.

O_O I need loads of time for these.
