Hello friends, or who ever may be reading this. Today is June 16th, and I have two announcements or topics I need to address. Both are changes to this blog. For over a year now I have been a stuggling writer, both with inspiration and skill. I've been experiencing a time in my life that I feel very untalented and unenthusiastic towards writing.
Thankfully this has changed since the school year has ended. I've been reintroduced to an ache in the middle of my chest that I haven't felt since sophmore year.
I need to write. I want to write. I can't wait to write.
I understand that I really do care about writing.
It feels wrong to not create words with my fingers on a black sheet of paper on microsoft word.
So, I am restarting this blog. This is a new beginning. Writing is a self-motivated carreer and unfortunately, I am severely lacking in that department. (You can see me lying around in my Pjs till 5pm just watching movies these days...)
These are the changes you can expect.
1) I will be using this blog as a source to write everyday for 20 minutes. I was challenged to do this by my creative writing teacher and I am prepared to meet this challenge. This means it could be anything. Poetry, thought ramblings, story concepts, or anything relating to writing. This site will be my journal.
2) The second change is that I am writing a book/novella. I have never completed anything of this length and I need to prove to myself that I can accomplish this. If I can achieve this goal it will be potentially my senior project. In order to stay motivated, I need all of my reader's help. I will be posting chapters of my story on this blog and I need feedback, and not the nice type of feedback. I know we are all tempted to read a blog and leave commments like "that's amazing! I loved when you did this and this and this". Don't misunderstand me, I appreciate those comments too, but they aren't exactly 'helpful'. I need peer review. Tell me what is unclear. Tell me what you don't like or what just seems odd to you. Tell me how to improve my story.
With God's help, I might just be able to pull this off. Please pray for me.
Thank you all for reading this overly long post. Enjoy your summer!

Ok, so you're going to have to help me out.
I don't know what you guys like to read in a blog, or even how to write one. SO, you all have to help me a bit to understand this whole internet litterary world; cause right now, I'm sorta rambling to the world on random topics which randomly pop into my head. Randomly. And a blog is supposed to have a theme. I need a theme. You can even ignore the title of the blog. I need suggestions, and don't expect me to go with your suggestion completely. (Otherwise it would be you're blog and not mine in a sense. Hmmm) So I might put a wacky twist or something strange. Anyway, point is, I want to be able to be slightly entertaining to everyone. Also, so Dan won't feel like a creepster :-P
