So I took a break from writing...

[tamchronin]

...and I mostly watched anime in my spare time the last few days. I finished both Negima and Princess Tutu. They were both really good, and Princess Tutu gave me a few things to think about as far as writing goes. I think I might be ready to tackle the end of Elemental, now.

There are some stories that inspire you to "fix" them, either through fanfic or by making a similar situation in your own world and going from there. There are some stories that inspire you to expand them by writing side stories and fanfic about characters that just didn't get the time they deserved. And then there are stories that inspire you to find your own story and just run with it. I'm not sure yet if Princess Tutu is the first or the last for me, but it's one of those two. The last two episodes made me really itch to start writing. Immediately.

I hope the feeling carries on. So, here's to our muses, wherever they're hiding. :D

I can't believe you only just now found Princess Tutu! That show is more you than anything else I can think of. If I'd known you didn't know about it, I'd have recced it years ago. Whatdja think?

I knew about it, but I couldn't find it online by the time I found out about it. Now that I have a job I'm going through and buying DVDs of a lot of series I felt guilty for downloading, or series I had a lot of people recommend. This was one of the latter.

I absolutely loved it, and now I can see why so many people recced it! A lot of people told me it was a lot like Utena, but I only really got that in the last two or three episodes. OH! And I've had classical music on the brain since I started it. I wonder how nerdy it makes me that I recognized and loved so much of the music. My grandpa always blasted classical music when he painted. :D

I do wish I'd found a way to somehow obtain a copy of it before now. I wonder if it might have helped me through my years of not being able to write. Or, maybe not. Oh well...forward, always forward!
