Writing this short story.
I am really enjoying writing this short story. Its about the second world war a solider named hans whittmann. He is a gunner on a PAK 43 anti tank gun. At times I feel as if me and him are connected in a way. I feel like this story has already been written in my head and has just been sitting there waiting for me to make it public.I am enjoying this whole experience and really want to keep doing it but just like everything in life I always give up. After I finish writing a paragraph or two of my story I feel like the words are running through my head. im in a euhoria over a piece of literature! Its amazing! I love it.
When Franz Kafka died he first told his freind to destroy all of his work. He did not listen to his plea and brought all of franz kafkas short stories and uncomplete novels to pulishers. One of those books is intitled Amerika. It was originally not going to be titled that but his freind took inititive and named it for his fallen brotheren. Max brod was the mans name. A letter was sent to him before franz's death."Dearest Max, my last request: Everything I leave behind me ... in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others'), sketches, and so on, is to be burned unread."
I have a few reasons why I wrote that short paragraph about Franz Kafka. I have become more and more interested in his work and his short story the metamorphosis. He wrote all of his ideasown.Everything and anything that came to mind that might help write a novel. None of his work had attracted much attentiont ill after his death except a few short stories and The metamorphosis. I want to follow in his foot steps in a way and write down everything. I have actually always left my laptop on standbye or a piece of paper at bed side to write down any ideas in the middle of the night. I want to save them all and look back at them. I use blogger as sort of a archive to my life that is public for any persons that may find my life interesting. The only thing I dont want to copy Franz is by not being noticed. If I write I want it to be recognized while im alive. Although he is a liturature figure.
There is something about typewriters and fountain pens that make me want to write. It seems crazy I know. But holding a fountain pen I just want to write! Aswell as hearing the amazing noise of a typewriter cracking against a page.
By the way. I am using open office that does not highlight corrections. I am to lazy to edit and really need microsoft word. YES! I know lily a good writer needs to know how to edit. I know I know. But typos and spelling errors would be amazing to highlight. Now I know this is asking alot but if someone could lend me a Product key. I know it can work for more then one computer because it can be moved around from PC to PC. Im gonna try and find a Key Gen before I go stealing yours.
Anywho thats my randomness today!:)
bye bye
