One could say I'm back on DA. But perhaps in a somewhat diffirent way. I can't promise any frequent postings of work, as I got a shitload to do, and I'm trying to push myself to actually do them. Which, doesn't always work. Writer's block or whatever still exists now and then. Perhaps it's the lack of a muse, who knows. Either how, who cares. The story I'm currently working on, House of Roses, doesn't seem to be getting anywhere every time I try working on it. Perhaps I should just restart on it, or at least write down the synopsis I got in my head. But it's important to me that I do write it sometime soon. I like the basic idea of it, and I really want to write it. Just don't seem to get anywhere.
Howeveer, fear not! As I was prying in myself for stuff to write, I came across a story I wrote ages ago. "Under a full moon" it's called, and it's not one of my best probably, but I do liked it. So I rewrote the whole thing. The story brought back some memories of old times on DA. Good times too, and eventually I decided to come back, even if just occasionally.

So, I'll post the story after this journal, and wish you happy readings!

On a secondary note, as I like discussing things and see other people's views on various subjects, I wrote a story a while ago about photographs. Part of that story is this paragraph, after the narator finds some old photographs in an attic:

"Old photographs always have this way to turn me into a philosophical mood. Aren’t photographs more than just the capture of a moment, tying the present? Don’t we take them thinking of the future, so that years from now, we can reminisce past times? Do we not take them, hoping that we wander back to the past, together with the others in the photograph, thinking of how everything was then? Does that not make pictures a source of hope? Uncle Gerard clearly doesn’t agree with me. “They are taken because we are afraid to lose the present, so capture the moment and carry it with us through time.” I call him a pessimist, but have a few doubts. Maybe we’re both right."

So, start thinking about it and let me know what pops to mind ;)

I feel photographs are a way to emphasize to others and ourselves the beauty of a moment, a way to take extra notice of it. Later in time we often wonder why we took certain pictures, if we're lucky we're able to recall the way we felt at that moment, if not, we have to comfort ourselves with the thought that once when this picture was taken we felt something special, ergo, there was a time that you felt wonder or awe at something.

Long long story, but doing fine at the moment :)How are you? owner of many pretty cars yet?
:iconyveske:
So basically, we take pictures to relive a good moment? Hmm yea, I can connect to that. You score points.
:iconk1k0r0:
well, that's the kind of obvious deduction I was making, but I also think that the simple action of taking the picture has a meaning of it's own, it has a kind of demonstrative, fortifying quality in the moment itself, apart from the photo you look at later.
:iconyveske:
Ah, now that's interesting. So taking the photo is somewhat a way of saying "this moment is special, let's capture it".
Wait, wasn't that a commercial?
