...On Writing - a quick one...
In Your Own Write: The ten rules for excellent writing http://gu.com/p/2ze99/tf
The linky thing doesn't seem to wanna work at the mo so I'll leave it.
This popped up in my Twitter (which is now more like my little stream-of-consciousness/ post it as I go through rec after rec ;P!) and I went over to have a read. Loved the writing style XD!!!
As for the actual content - well, I won't say I'm an aspiring writer but Rule no1 is 'Write Everyday' - can just be lists, updates, tweets etc. and he pointed out that that was why keeping blogs is quite a good idea. And that got me thinking.
This is like my diary, isn't it? And writing - well, I think it help me sort things out in my head. Lay out my arguments. It's like having a conversation with yourself, just typed up. And that's probably why I love it here so much. Another rule was that you should write as you would speak. Well, with this serving as my personal dumping ground, there's probably no avoiding that ;E!
It's curious, actually. I like reading and writing. A lot. But I've never erally thought 'what for?' before. I write because I felt like writing. And I love typing on my laptop. Sometimes I have stories to tell, things I've seen or wondered about. My point of views, my opinions that I was trying to figure out. Other times? Well, sometimes you just want to leave something 'out there' I suppose. Like a message in a bottle, thrown out to sea. It's in the act more than the need for someone to find it.
In fact, that's an idea I want to come back again after this - a message in a bottle. It's a piece of you. Adrift. Fate.
Oooh~~!!! ;E! !
I was on the phone with mum on Tuesday and we were talking about next year and what would happen if I don't get a place in Germany. And to be honest, I'm actually quite Zen about this whole thing - more so that I thought I would be ^^! There will be times for research and stuff after the exam but mum was just so..open about everything. And I know I can talk things out with her and there will be things that I haven't even thought about - and I'm actually quite excited!!
Let's hope I don't crash and burn here then, shall we?
:sigh:
ttyl!
