I'm dreaming you're out in the blue

Sun Apr 12, 2009, 8:03 PM
  • Mood: Pain
  • Listening to: "On The Wing" --Owl City
  • Reading: plans for the Odyssey play
  • Watching: ZAC EFRON ON SNL ICK
  • Playing: .hack//OUTBREAK
  • Eating: Monstrous Mozzarella Stick Goldfish
  • Drinking: Squirt.
and I am right beside you,
awake to take in the view.

ARE YOU THERE?
OR ARE YOU JUST A DECOY DREAM IN MY HEAD?
AM I HOME?
OR AM I SIMPLY TUMBLING ALL ALONE?


Today: finished scene two of the play. I am working at such a painfully slow pace. DX

I noticed that my writing almost always falls into patterns. If it doesn't naturally, I take extra steps to make sure that it does.
The end always goes back to the beginning, and the middle parts are always either symmetric or in a repeated sequence.
It feels wrong if I don't write that way. It feels... disorganized, meaningless.
Nothing literally happens in my stories anymore. Every paragraph is a standalone metaphor, and together all the metaphors tell a vague story.
I guess I'm slipping out of prose and into prosetry. I don't like plain old prose anymore. I find it too boring. I always tried to make my prose as poetic as possible, and I guess now I've actually crossed that line into prosetry territory.
Idunno. What do you guys think?

I think I need to get through the 52 deviations (a record for me) I have stacked up and read your new stuff before I answer that question. But. Prose or prosetry, what do you define the difference to be?

Hahaha. I have thirty-five right now, don't worry.

Prose, to me, is telling a literal story of something happening.
Prosetry is the gray area between prose and poetry. Is it paragraph-verses? Stories told one line at a time? Sequences of metaphors?

I think my newer writing falls more into prosetry than prose. And I like where I've gone. But I'm not entirely sure what it is.

To be honest I'm not entirely sure either.

Prosetry has always felt, like telling a story in a non-traditional way, thats as vivid and beautiful to read as possible. I think perhaps, it makes the words and setup of the words, as important as the content, the message, the piece is trying to portray. Individual images, layered on top of each other, to create a whole?

And yeah, at some point, you start feeling like it doesn't fit into the prose categorty anymore. Its strange when that happens, bcs your not always sure why.

Yeah, that.
Which is an element of poetry...
but conveyed like prose?
