So I suppose the point of a journal is to write, which is a similar (not to mention essential) point in trying to be a writer. Lately, read Death Be Not Proud and fell in love with Johnny Gunther. Usually, too afraid of death like that to continue but upon picking up the book and already nearly crying and falling in love, I had to persevere. Why

Haha, my name actually IS Sunshine. Legally and all. The reason i'm mostly concerned with lack of eccentricities is that perhaps it speaks of too many conformities. And i'd hate to be anything other than myself, you know? but it's difficult sometimes.

How old did you think I was? I tried a novel once-- I even got a friend to do the cover art and I was about a hundred or so pages in when i realized it was absolute muck! 'The Magicks: Neogenisis of the Angels' I suppose since i never finished i may still have that dreary-eyed lurking monster of a first novel hidden somewhere up my sleeve and waiting to be completed. maybe not, though. seeing as they generally take such a long time, and such a lot of effort, i'd rather the first one not be completely useless. but you know, live with what you get, etc.

How old are you then?

Sometimes profundity is such a difficult thing to keep up. I'm sure even buddha must have sat down and had a meaningless conversation over the weather or hot dogs or something. I think alot of a person's essence gets lost in the translation between life and livejournal. Anyhow, just trying to bring a bit of it around.

sunshine! i like it lots, though. :)

i thought you were twenty, nineteen perhaps. i don't know - i tend to think eloquent writers on my list are always at least a couple years older than me... which leads to your next question, i'm seventeen, eighteen in two months (eep!).

i'm glad you did! i think we're all mundane at some point - i know i am every single day, and it's just that some writers on lj choose to hide that part of them for the most part so to me, then, they're always seem a little less human, a little more magical & wondrous. i'm not saying i prefer either - you are who you are! i can't seem to word what i want to put across without making it sound insulting to people who either a) only post profound things or b) people who only post mundane thing or c) a mix. my foot's been in my mouth all day! :p
