A collection of art and literature that makes me want to work harder to get that good. Also, a bunch of tutorials and photoshop brushes and textures that come in handy quite often.

I stay up to late, liek srsly


Well, my birthday has passed so I am now sixteen. For the past three years, I have felt no change in maturity, only weight and height. Weight by loosing pounds, height by growing an inch. All over three glorious long years. I AM SO AMAZING.

I'm facing a bit of a writer's block again, but only in prose. Poem writing has been put on hold from it though, because I'm a stubborn daughter of a bastard who wants to have every form for literature open for me before I write a word of it. I am currently attempting to plow through two fanfictions (which will probably never see the light of day since I prefer putting up all-original works), and a little short story for a character of mine. Which I'll be needing to write a lullaby for—to put throughout the depressing text and thoughts of the character so it seems even darker. WRITING LULLABIES IS HARD. I... I don't do bedtime poems for kids. At all. This is hard for me, more so since the characters who make up the lullaby are.. well, they aren't exactly optimistic people. Or happy, for that matter. But, at least one tries to be happy, the other just goes off to.... I don't know. Be suicidal or somethin'. XD So, yeah, a lullaby from Mr. & Mrs. Life-Sucks needs to be written. And it needs to be happy or at least, I don't know, hopeful, when taken out of the context of the short story. It's hard, writing a something like that, when suppose to be from people like that, which you know you'll only be warping into something dark and twisted later. Challenge, thy name is a baby's lullaby.

Aside from the clusterfuck that short story will turn out to be, I face some challenges outside my WordPerfect program. Namely, summer assignments for AP English next year. I am beginning to read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which isn't very easy for me since I cringe at poor grammar and this story is written like it comes from a ten-year-old. But, then there's the assignment. A page written for every chapter on a passage that exploits the theme of the book. Then I annotate the whole book. And then, I have another book to do the exact same things to. If I asked someone to kill me now, would they? I mean, I love reading; to the point where I'll read anything given to me and usually walk away with a decent opinion on the book simply because it was something for me to read. But give me work to do on it? No thank you, I'd rather not. It ruins the experience of reading for me. Yet, I need to get this work done soon; school starts August 10th, I believe, and I need everything completed and hand-written the second day of school. Yay me.

However, as usual (so far), I enter a book written by Mark Twain with something amusing. I now have something I could end up using as a slogan.

Thank you so much for the fave on Goddess [link] : )
It makes sense. I can take a lot of things out of a book as well, and see it in different ways. I've had my share of events in my life that alter perspective (I can't help but add some if it into my stories and poems, it makes them a bit more personal), but I try not to forget the perspectives I saw things through before. That way I get a look at all angles in anything.

Books are things that always have something to offer. And poems, songs, etc. can sometimes have a duplicity to them that makes them enjoyable to read over and over, even when views change. I suppose that's one reason why I like writing so much. It appeals to change.

Exactly and this is why there are classics that transend into later generations and can be read by different generations and still speak volumes to all of them.

I also put some of my life experiences into my writing. Sometimes it can be hard to seperate yourself depending on the situation. But with all those experiences it helps with creating a more believable story and that is what makes a good writer in my opinion. That is creating an original story (to the extent that one can be original in this day in age)while still making it believable and not too far fetched, even in fantasy.

I myself would love to write a classic novel that would be shoved down future generations' throats in school. An odd goal for someone my age, I suppose.

Most of my poems are based on my life, because that's usually my outlet. But they can be taken in any way, so, it's not like I feel like some drama queen over writing so much. When it comes to stories, there usually are things I drew from based on my life, and it is sometimes hard to separate myself from the situation if it's revolving around a common element. I can get emotional over it, embarrassingly. But, while using life experiences dose make a good believable character, I don't have many to draw from. Enough, it would seem, to get into the meat and bone of mental conflict and destructive impulses (which I write about for two reasons, one being an outlet and the other being a way to make the subject more familiar to people who turn away from it for various reasons). But for the rest, I have to rely on pure empathy for the characters. Imagine I am the character, with that set personality, and try to figure out how they'd act. I tried explaining this to a friend who had trouble making believable characters during sad scenes and I told her that if she doesn't cry for the character while writing she hasn't reached their mind set. She gave me the weirdest look. lol

I think most writers would love to write a classic novel it would be the greatest acheivement. Where some books are mearly popular for a time (example Twilight) I don't believe it has any actual lasting power or the makings of a classic.

I use to write poetry and it was as an outlet but then it all seemed to be going around in a circle and I never really seemed to get anywhere with it. So now I am on to fiction which when I get in the mood I think I can do fairly well. My only problem is I start one then get an idea for another one so I drop the first and work on the new one. If I caould actually finish a story I don't think it would be that bad.

Twilight was... well, it was something I'd only read once.

And, as I've said I have that problem with stories. I keep getting new and better ideas. So I'm trying short stories that are only a few chapters long. Maybe working on keeping with one idea slowly could help.
