Nothing much has happened on the real writing front, other than the fact that the list of books I have to read is growing by the day, and I really want to do lots and lots of technical research, both setting and character. I realized on overhearing Stephanie and Kendra talking about drama classes that I have virtually no experience at portraying characters who aren't a facet of me. This should certainly be amended with all expediency. *grins*
My papers are sucking my brain out- but they leave me with a very strong desire to write. I have to get through exam week first.
See you on the other side of purgatory!

Have I mentioned recently how much I love writing?
I declare, the world is FULL of stories. There are ideas everywhere, and I would so much love to write them downnnn..... *cries*
I last week started a file to write down story ideas, and it is now 4 pages of hope and glory.
Moreover, I've been writing a silly little story in a notebook in the 20 minute snatches of time between classes and such, when I can't really start some proper school work, and someone else is on the computer. It's now 8 pages long, and really shiny. That was the first story that I've gotten out of bed to start writing. But I was wide awake, I tell you, and the story was all colorful and vivid...
In addition, I had the so-lovely idea to put my May story in the real world, not an invented fantasy land. I'm leaning towards Constantinople, I think, because the original folk tale I'm expanding came from the Balkans, and I don't know enough about Japan or Africa to put it there. *is hit by a sudden craving to read folk tales and the encyclopedia.* I haven't decided between the Roman empire or the Eastern Roman empire yet either. I think we're calling the May adventure PENredux, and I am very excited!
Wow, if that made sense to anyone, I am impressed. I need to go beat my Scriptures paper into submission. *waves*

I've had a fell dream..
So, I want to write a story, or walk for 100 miles, or write a website, or learn to code, or bake, or bead, or watch the news, or sit in a sunspot, or basically do anything but write research papers.
*sigh*
This too shall pass, (even though I quite probably won't!)

Ha, amusing. *grins*
What is your element? [with pics + detailed answers] |
 Your element is Water. You have a calm aura around you and are in tune with the world around. You observe it but rarely interfere. Because of your shy and timid nature you will not have so many friends in your life. But then again, large crowds aren't your thing anyway. You are comfortable on your own and are reserved to others who you don't know or know very little of. You know everyone out there does not want to be your friend, and knowing that is good. However, people who don't know you that well thinks that you are cold and distant since you don't want to talk to them. Although you mean no harm, you can't always be perfectly understood in the world. No one can. Life in general are you quite serene with even if there are some things you don't like. Your love-life is not so full of boys/girls, but if you flirted more with the ones you were interested in I'm sure something would happen. The hobbies you choose are calmer ones, you are no party person that likes to drink and make-out with three or more guys/girls in one night. Reading a book or swimming is more your thing.
