So I know I haven't updated in a a kazillion years and I'm sorry for that. But I was constantly not able to think of anything to say and didn't want to post anything that was just too terribly random. So I waited, and here I am.
School
I'm at a point of blissful ignorance. Midterms have not fallen yet so I'm not sure how well or how bad I'm doing. I'm confident that I have a B in all my classes if not better and I'm going to sit on that and enjoy that. I have a Midterm in History of Vietnam tomorrow that I'm a little terrified of but it's an essay test and we all know I'm the Queen of BS.
Writing
I want to be a writer. Everyone knows this. Recently I've been doing my best to purge all my story lines of some of the immature elements that I clung to for so long. However, now I'm stuck struggling with the pain of purging so much from my beloved characters and stories that I almost feel like they're not mine anymore. I know shit gets published. I've read shit. I've read Twilight. And I know I'll probably never hit the fame that woman did with her vampire teen angst but I really don't want to get all the fame, notareity, and precious precious money because I can scribble a few words on a page that string together a semi coherent plot that thirteen year olds will eat up.
So what's next? Write shit down. I have neither the courage nor the will to put my hands to a keyboard, a pen to the paper. Everything I write glows with the complexity and warmth of a masterpiece for a second and then like a star going supernova it all flashes before me and melts into shit. Pure, unadulturated, shit. The way it stands I'd be midway to the publisher's, manuscript in hand, when I crack open to page 123, scream in horror, and flee.
Not to mention, how the flippity fuck do you write a book!? I just don't get it! How do you start? Where do you start? Am I doing it horribly wrong by starting on page one, paragraph one, sentence one, word one? Fuck. I don't know.
I think I had more rants but the writing one wore me out. Well, now you can count on more semi random updates since I've broken the silence. Asta lavista, baby.
writing,
stress
