Writing Rambles

So, I think I may have had an epiphany today. And it all comes about from something Jane said to me yesterday, and from watching the Extended LotR DVD with the Director/Writers commentary on.

I'll start with something rather Rings related. I think karelian will appreciate this. *g* I was watching the second disc of the DVD and listening to Peter, Fran, and Philippa, and I just fell in love with how Philippa obviously adores Sean Bean and Viggo. And how it's pretty obvious that Boromir is one of her favorites, which leads me to truly think and beleive that she understands Boromir. Which I think is a hard thing to do, although I know I understand Boromir and his thoughts and what the conflict in his heart is. But I think as a writer, she (and Fran and Peter) had to understand more, and dig deeper to find him. And I think she found him. That is how I want to be--able to dig down and understand my characters as if I were them. And now that I've listened to the commentary and watched Boromir's final scene, I see how much the writers (or, in my opinion, Philippa specifically) care about the people they were writing about and working with. It's rather inspiring.

Which brings me to something Jane said to me yesterday while we were driving home from the baseball game.

We were talking about writing and I mentioned that I had had another vision of one of my novel characters. And she told me that maybe I am meant to write this novel. And I think I am starting to believe that myself. I have never felt this feeling before.

it's kind of like how I feel I am meant to be in the new fandom I love and adore. I feel so--welcome, if you will. It just feels right, which I don't think I ever felt in popslash. I felt right with the WaJu, that goes without saying, but in the other? Never felt welcome.

I think I feel comfortable writing again. Making it something I love once again. I'm--dang it, I think I'm happy again.

Am off to stop rambling. Must find something to do before I go to work later ;) Forgive my rambly post about things that have infiltrated my brain today.
