I'm still alive, don't worry.
I am posting an entry.
Mostly out of guilt, because I haven't posted in so very long.
School's aiight.
My life is pretty good.
I am now in the class of my dreams, for anyone who was wondering. I doubt anyone was. I actually think that no one reads this anymore, because my entries are so boring and few and far between.
However.
For my dream class I needed a new stroy idea. I originally thought that I would owrk on the same piece that I have been since high school, but my mum suggested that doing so would be putting all of my eggs in one basket, so to speak. If I want to be a serious writer, which obviously I do, it would be better to have a few things I could put on a portfolio, instead of just one. Makes sense.
At first I was dreading it, because while I had a very sketchy idea of another storyline, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to work on it whole-heartedly, because my mind has been on one storyline for the last five years. Saying that makes me feel so old. Like high school was actually a long time ago. Even though I'm still adding people on facebook that I haven't seen, or talked to since high school, it just seems like so long ago.
Anyways. The story idea is developing, and I'm beginnning to love it, and the characters almost as much as my other writing. I'm excited at the prospect of being able to write under the tutilege (I know I didn't spell that right, but I think you know the word I mean) of a professional author/editor/screenplay writer.
Although, I am worried that he'll tell me that I'm not as good as I think I am, that my story ideas aren't as good as I think they are. Granted that's something that comes with the territory. If you want to become a writer, you have to develop a thick skin, and be prepared for people to tell you that you suck. I have been preparing for this, but because I haven't submitted anything to anyone of any consequence, I've never been able to try out my 'thick skin', or even see if I actually have one. It's coming soon though.
Our very first writing assignment, is just an informal page about our story ideas. What we're thinking of writing about ... just random thinking kind of. And also, if we have a story idea, he wants us to sum it up in one paragraph. Doing so is rediculous, and he said so, because events in a story are sparked by different things, and just listing them chronologically could make the whole thing sound silly. He told us that, so not to worry if it does seem silly.
Anyways. It's all I want to do. Write, think about writing, think about my characters.
Anyways. That's pretty much all I have to say. I also have some messy dishes to do. I was making hot chocolate, and instead of boiling just water, I mixed it with milk, and evidently milk likes to boil up and over, and make the stove a mess.
PAAAYYYYCCE.
