writing woes of the day

tommygirlIt's one of those days where all my writing comes out like I'm attempting to emulate (poorly, I must add) Hemingway or Faulkner or one of those authors whom had an affinity for fragments. It's sick. It's a disease. And it makes me want to rely on my big problem area...the elipses...which I still blame my English III AP teacher from high school for...because she said I never used them...and now...look at me and my addiction.
I get into these ruts from time to time and the only thing to do is push through it. Or so I keep telling myself.
It has helped a bit to focus on some drabble writing--the lack of stress that producing 100 word pieces provides me with is astounding. Because, it seems, I'm always full of ideas, it's utilizing them properly and finishing things that I have a tendency to mess up. Hhmmm, come to think of it. I wonder if relying on these blurbs might add to my problems.
Oh well.

Pulled out my Sports Night dvds and am once again madly in love with Dan. To be more precise--dan/casey. Forget Rebecca. Forget Dana. It's all about the chemistry and love between the boys.
Plus, when Aaron Sorkin is on his game, when he's writing banter at its best, it's the most amazing thing to watch. It makes me giddy and envious all at once, hoping that some of his brilliance will seep through the screen by sheer osmosis.

Okay, off to attempt to write something that does not consist entirely of fragments.
