I found THIS on youtube last night.

Yes it was hilarious but, c'mon, puppets???
Anyway, I haven't done much in the line of actual writing but I did sit for about 58 minutes and stare blankly at the wall trying to solve one issue or another with my writing that probably was, in reality, very simple. Something like what color car. It's all thanks to my Language teacher that continues to insist that everything is in a story for a reason. Even the season matters! So, of course, my story/book/sad attempt at writing starts in Winter because Winter is a metaphor for the end/death of something. In this case, the end of her old life and the bud of a new one. And, no, she doesn't move like every other story starts. She's already somewhere and she's already got friends and she isn't the random outcast that the best things always happen to. It's funny because she doesn't even WANT them to happen! She refuses multiple times, a symbol for independence, but that stupid dude still pursues her. *sigh*
Also, this might just be me here, but did anyone think that the fact that someone through a bra at Joe Jonas was slightly disturbing? And the fact that he dodged it was even higher on the disturbance scale? But the look on his face.....Priceless. hehe.

My English teachers trys to convince us that everything means soemthing or has a theme. We have an on-going arguement with her about it. And, this one boy, Brahms, instead of writing what the theme of the over-simplified version of the play about Anne Frank's diary is, he's trying to convince my teacher that not everything has a theme. And on this petition that he had, that was on of the grievances on it.
ReplyDeleteAnd, you just need to start pressing keys (or moving a pen/pencil, depends on your writing style) and write. Words aren't going to magically appear on the page if you stare at it long enough. I know from experience that if you don't just start writing something (no matter how bad it is), you will lose interest and never write the novel.
