Journal's are so hard to keep up with, now a days! And it's not because of my lack in time or energy, more or less it's because of my lack of...knowing what to say! I mean, I guess people like reading others' journal entries...I feel bad though, because I don't often read my friends'.
My first week of College went pretty well, and now I'm on my second! Well, second week back, that is. I can't believe I have two more years of this! It's ...interesting at times, but I can't believe I have to go through two years of it. Seriously. I suppose it's good for a learning and growing experience; none the less I still find myself bored in the class room.
On a different note, I've had some ideas. Lately I've been writing, just dabbling really, and I've had some people tell me they really like my style of writing, and that I portray a visual and emotional effects quite well. Of course, they could just be flattering me, but even so, I think it'd be nice to write a book. I want to, really I do, but what would it be about? You know me, and by now you should have figured out I love my fantasy! I do love books by Piper, and stuff like that, but I've always been very much attracted to books by Frank Peretti; stories like that really catch my imagination and let it flow. Other things I like to read about are things consisting of ideas like...Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts...yes, video games. I want to write something like that, but at the same time, I want to be in line with my beliefs. I never want to write out of context that would make someone believe other than my being a Christian!
I've had a few ideas, which I wanted to have help with from a fellow writer friend who...*hints* hasn't quite gotten back into his writing...
My idea is...having a book with two main characters, I would write as the girl, in first person, and my friend as the guy, in first person. I wanted the girl to have...some sort of ability, but I wanted it to be biblically centered. I don't want to draw something out of the bible that isn't there! I wanted it to be...like...a spiritual gift, heightened. Like, God gives her one of the spiritual gifts that is very...sharp? It's...refined? I don't know...I want help with this. I really want to write it, but I don't want to be making the bible sound wrong either. All of it is a very fine line, especially for someone like me, who's imagination can run into any direction it so desires...
If anyone who is very imagination centered, and loves things like I do, but is also wise...wiser than me I'd hope, would like to help...oh, I'd very much appreciate it.
Well, tomorrow I have to get up, exercise, and go to Government class in 50 degree weather!!! I don't know if my poor, cold-blooded body can take it!
Enough rambling...ta-ta!
