I just read lapis_lazuli's comment from days ago: "As much as I'm thinking about scaling back my LJ usage, I hit moments like these when I just want to list out my morning to get it all down and make more room in my head." Wow, I wish I felt I had that much going on in my head. Right now I spend all my mornings driving to work thinking about a fanfic I want to write, and still not getting anywhere. Today is the next to last day I'll be making this drive, however. I think I'm going to miss the thinking time, though I'll probably replace it with sleeping time, as I can't seem to go to sleep before 11pm.

LJ vs. fanfic


Some people use LiveJournal space to work on other writing projects, no reason you couldn't do so. Outlines, snippets of dialogue, &c.. With appropriate security settings, of course.

I have to admit that I haven't put much of my project to rewrite Ben Jonson as science fiction (Every Man in His Space-Suit) into LJ, but sometimes I think I should, when I'm on a roll and could do a bit more of the work of writing it in this (exhibitionistic?) setting. I mean, maybe the frame of mind I'm in when I'm writing about myself in LiveJournal could be useful in getting out parts of the story that are more about me.
