Speaking of Lovecraft, I'm gonna inject some cosmic horror into that aforementioned story that I'm working on, because **** you, I can
I can do anything Anythiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii |

I think I just love writing dialogue and action. I can't even give anything but the slightest of ****s about raw exposition and bulky descriptive paragraphs about locations, items, and physical appearance. It always just feels like fluff, or "Look how good I can write!" wankery. All I want is to have characters interact with each other, so their actions can describe and define them. Talking, thinking, fighting, ****ing. That's what I love. That doesn't mean that I don't like descriptions, though. It's just that I like to work them in organically with the action, in small bursts. I don't want to write that Suzy Waffle is six foot tall brunette wearing a blue sweater and jeans. I want to write that Suzy Waffle ripped the armpit of her sweater when she broke a groper's nose on the subway, and he spilled his coffee all over the back her jeans, so now she has to put up with her ass squishing every time she sits down until it either dries off or she can find a change. |

I may write not very much good, but I raise hell with the sides, yes?
|
what are you, a triangle?
|
I have as many edges as there are grains of sand on someone's ass when they get ****ed on a beach
You tell me what shape I am |
so a megagon
|
Mega gone indeed

Seriously though, does anyone wanna talk about writing? 'Cause I'm so lonely. Everybody thinks I'm just spending all of these hours alone masturbating.

I would if I were a better authority

Anybody other than downer Mondo?

I've honestly been contemplating lately ditching writing reviews and moving on to more editorial-based stuff. I've gotten really bored writing them in the past several months and I have a conniption when I repeat myself and/or feel I'm lacking creativity in my writing, both of which tend to pop up when I'm writing music reviews.
Reading innerspace's stuff has made me think that I could put my slightly above average writing skills to better use writing pieces about certain bands, scenes and genres. I was thinking of doing a retrospective piece on the history of nu jazz for my webzine but nothing's concrete yet. |

In my ideal scenario I would hone my video editing skills to create music-related video essays about the aforementioned topics. Unfortunately like I said I don't have the time nor the constitution to do so. But that is my perfect world. Ultimately The Frying Pan is at a weird time right now, where I'm still trying to figure out what the hell it actually contributes. Much of the content produced thus far mainly stems from me being stuck in the "reviewer" mindset I cultivated over the years by spending time on sites that revolved around user-created reviews. I've only just begun to realize that I'm not a critic, I'm just a music fan. And what would best suit a role for a music fan? Well as a music fan my main drive is to consume, so I believe that that role would be creating content geared towards others who want to consume, music fans or not. It is a much more interesting and fruitful endeavor than judging the work of others I cannot reproduce myself (that's not to say I won't praise things I like and **** on things I don't in settings like these). |

Oh. Yeah I don't know how much a fan I am of creative writing. I used to write these terrible stories as a little kid on my ye olden PC but I figured writing about music would be best for me cause it combines two of my favorite hobbies.
I've tried writing legitimate literature before but I always feel like I'm lacking in numerous departments, particularly dialogue. I'm sure if I grew a penchant anew for it I could find myself getting back into it. It's unlikely, though. Audio is my icon. |

I don't remember the exact model, I remember that it had an Intel Pentium (III?) and ran on XP. After a google I found a picture of the exact tower I had. Other than that I had a beat up "Bondi Blue" iMac G3 that I only used to play Oregon Trail and also Mavis Beacon. That one's actually still in my basement back home.

I say go for it. Write a few editorial pieces and see if it puts some fire back in your balls. And write a piece on Disco while you're at it! |
I'm personally close to "finishing" something
if anyone would actually read it I'd type it up but I'd rather not waste the time otherwise |
