I know this is a very early update for me but I was sitting here thinking about some of this so I decided just write this down. Some of this is not even writing related.
I started working at old folk’s home about five months ago and have managed to get to know one resident named Bob. Bob has many medical issues but recently something happened that kind of gotten to me. After talking to him everyday he managed to forget who I am. This hurt on many levels for me, one of which struck a fear I did not even know I had. Not only am I afraid of being useless one day but now, I have to confront the fear of being forgotten. I am not sure where else to go with this so there it is. With this revelation into another issue that I have, I end up wondering what to do and how to deal with it.
Writing wise I have been working on chapter nine, added a few hundred words and thinking about my future edits for this project. I think I am going to have to go back and add a huge amount of detail and description to my world and characters because I have already started adding it into this chapter.
I have four different trains of thought to try and help, choose one that works best:
ReplyDelete#1 ~ Being forgotten is part of life, everyone eventually is forgotten, sometimes names lingerer, but no one remembers who they actually were. The one guarantee is that you will not be forgotten till at least 40 years after you are dead. And if you have hope after death, you wont really care then.
#2 ~ You can never really be forgotten, the impact you have on other people, they will never forget, how you affect people leaves a mark that they pass on to others, so your influence will always be remembered from one person to another.
#3 ~ Become a great author, be famous.
#4 ~ Help me find the spring of immortality and we can live forever.
