The unintended efficacy of a good imagination most of what I have written over the last 10 years has been contract work. I call myself a word mercenary. Well, okay, I call myself that in the closet Where no one can see or hear me in the sleeve make fun of me and remind me that word merc is a really stupid name. That being said I write for money. I wrote for money more often then I write for joy. I have such a very process of writing is, in a sense, a job to me. It is the kind of and part of a job that I like the least. However, I am often reminded that writing is about passion. We come to the page full of wonder and excitement and want to leave on the page everything we have thought or hoped or dreamed of that day and many many days before. Imagination is both the fuel and acid of a writers life. Imagination is what brought us to the page and what keeps us there. Imagination is also what scares us and hold us back.
Sometimes I think that the stories I have trapped in my school are far too weird for anyone to ever see. It is not that I am afraid of my imagination or even afraid of what people think of my imagination it is that I wonder if my stories or two in accessible for people. As a result there are hundreds of stories that have never been told and may never be told. Imagination, in that sense, keeps me in a box. It keeps me earning money because I can look just far enough into the future or into the crazy or into that I don’t know what to see what I think people will except. This is a good thing. This is a bad day. This is something that doesn’t allow me to go far enough in my opinion. I believe I said to you more. Recently I decided that I really don’t like annihilation. I thought the author went full crazy I’m building an idea I’m really spent little time on developing a character and telling the story of the protagonist. However he allowed his imagination to guide his pen. He let himself be Jerry he let himself be a little crazy and he let himself break the rules. Guess what? It worked. So, while the imagination gives me the intended result of writing the kind of stories that some people expect for me it also has the unintended result of keeping the deeper and perhaps more satisfying fiction at bay.
