Seeing People

Hi all!

I have plans tonight. Perhaps getting to hang out with real people will help me. Does depression make it hard for anyone else to write? I've been majorly depressed lately. The worst part about all of this, is I don't know why. I know I haven't had much to feel good about, but still. Wish me luck.

Help At Last

Hi guys!

I can't believe it! This morning I chated with a living, breathing author. She is going to try to help me write a novel that I don't manage to hit a brick wall in the middle of. Maybe she and I will be able to work together to form scheduales and deadlines that will be as stress free as possible. I am crossing my fingers and jumping for joy even thinking about such possibilities. Okay. I'm off now! Step number one. Stop being a lazy bones.

Making Characters

Hi,

Sorry I didn't write for a few days. I have been tossing around different ideas that my novel could go in. While watching Lady and the Tramp the other day, I came up with an interesting concept. Why not write a Young Adult novel having animals portray humans for young adults. At first I thought this was the stupidest thing my brain had ever conjered up. Upon asking around, though, I learned using animals as characters for young adult and even adult books was actually quite common. All I have to do is come up with an original plot and flesh out my characters. I'm definately not looking forward to this part of writing my book. I wish someone could complete these tasks for me. Oh well! I am off to get started. Procratinating won't make the job any easier.

A Thought

Hi Guys,

I'm about to start my day. Before I do, however, I thought I would share something with my fellow writers. People always say that you should write what you have already experienced. It is this author's personal beliefe that in some instances the afore mentioned statement is a falsehood. For instance, if you're an emotional wreck like myself, you should probably not write about subjects such as kidnapping or death. By that same token, writing about the things that can hurt you can be a descent way to rid yourself of the memories-wheather they were caused by years of torment from family or peers, or the inner anxst that so often plagues young men and women without a single sole ever knowing it. If you choose to wrap parts of your life around your characters in a story, don't overlook your positive experiences. The one thing everyone has tatooed to my forehead is be true to yourself. Don't rearrange your emotions to suite other peoples tastes.

Okay. Now that I've wasted about fifteen minutes of my time that should have been spent on something more productive, I am going to go. Thanks for reading me. Happy Writing!

Hello Fellow Writers

Hi all,

I have been a member of the general writing world since I was a child. Back then I wrote only for the fun of it. Nobody cared if I made silly spelling or grammatical mistakes. As everyone knows, nothing stays the same. Many years have passed. The second grader who wrote for amusement has given way to a twenty-three year old that feels that writing has become more of a chore.

Don't get me wrong. I still find joy in doing it. That said, the preassure of turning my spare time hobby into a way to support myself in the real world has changed my perspective. Ultimately, knowing I have to watch myself to ensure my stories are relatively error free places a great ammount of stress on me. No. That can't be correct. If anything, that is just another dumb excuse to stack on top of the pile I can't help pondering if I am only is pondering such thoughts. Moreover, if this is so, why am I this way? What makes me such a slacker? Won't someone please help me to improve my lazy ways. I will owe whoever does my life!
