I have just finished writing the third chapter of the second Tale. I invite you to see my thought process.
Wait, how do I title these? I should check.
...
Oh, story number comma chapter. Got it.
Can a screen so faint it's all but imperceptible flash? No, wrong implications.
...
Flicker! It implies darkening as opposed to brightening.
...
I hope.
No, idiot, s THEN apostrophe. There are multiple shadows.
Does he type for the screen? No, he can point. I can imply age through finger description. Wait... I can do that? I love writing.
Wait, rather than enlarge the screen, imply advanced technology by having it approach the man. In midair.
Old people in shadows always have hooked noses. It's a fact.
How many words does it display? Three is a good number.
...
What words are they?
...
...
Oh! I'll figure out what it says, then write how many words the screen displays.
...
Well this deals with last chapter, so the Speaker's fondness for regulations carries over.
...
Is Speaker capitalized?
...
I should check.
No? That's stupid. I should've capitalized it.
...
I could fix it without a word. No one needs to kn-
No. I am infallible. Changing the word would admit fallibility. Which I lack.
I like the way I described the smile.
...
Wait... tightening means stress. I need to lift the corners of his lips too.
...
Is that clearly a smile? No, remember that idiots might read this. Cater to all fools.
...
That should be Reoganworks' motto. 'Cater to all Foo-
Stay on track! You're almost done.
Ooh, yes. Mention how he stretches out his fingers. Details make the story.
...
I really wish I capitalized speaker. It would so much better. Oh well.

This made me giggle. :) Your thought process is... interesting, but not in a bad way. :P
ReplyDeleteYou could follow it? I really trimmed it down to try to put logical process into that in which logic has no place.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I could follow it fairly easily. Should that bother me more than it does?
ReplyDeleteUndoubtedly.
ReplyDeleteAnd should it disturb me that I have almost the same thought pattern sometimes?
ReplyDeleteThere's no hope for you then.
ReplyDeleteGood to know. ;)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely no hope, as that failed to horrify you.
ReplyDeleteQuite the opposite, actually.
ReplyDeleteIt did horrify you, or there's hope? If you think it's the hope thing, you're wrong.
ReplyDeleteNo, I meant it was quite the opposite of horrifying.
ReplyDeleteThe hope remains lost.
ReplyDeleteYou should be weeping.
ReplyDeleteAnd instead, I cheer. :) You're right, there is no hope for me. Yay!
ReplyDeleteSo dies the last shard of sanity on my blogs.
ReplyDeleteNo, Met is still sane. As is Qupar. There's still hope for some amounts of sanity.
ReplyDeleteI'd never call Met sane. Grounded, yes. But I've tainted him. Qupar is even worse.
ReplyDeleteBut neither are as bad as you. Or, apparently, me.
ReplyDeleteMet, no. Qupar? Ehh...
ReplyDeleteNo. No one is as bad as you are. Trust me.
ReplyDeleteHe could be as bad as you, though.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Or we all could be bad in different ways.
