1. Create your characters first. Just as your choices influence where you end up in life, your character's . . . character will decide the tone of the story. 
2. Write what you know, but not what you already know. Do something that scares you or bores you to tears. Do something you've never done before. You saw something through fresh eyes, which is the ( Read more... )

 Or am I? I do crave brains.

I post to Tumblr about every day, sometimes just a few times a week depending on my mood. It's not written stuff, just news, pictures, things like that.

When I do post here, it's mostly for fanfiction. I'm not a journal person. I lived my life and it's not really exciting to talk about, so I don't write about it. I use ( Read more... )

Book meme, because it was shiny. The BBC estimates most people will have read six. I've read a few more than that... and many, many others that aren't on this list.

1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien
3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling
5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper ( Read more... )

In honor of the Dungeons and Dragons episode that premieres tonight, I've decided to do a second meme. The rules still apply - Make a list of ten characters: the seven members of the study group, and your three personal favorite "supporting characters." Assign them each a random number, so that your list is different from others.

This ( Read more... )

From eleventhimpala

This is a fun meme which I found on firthgal's page.

Basically, make a list of ten characters: the seven members of the study group, and your three personal favorite "supporting characters." Assign them each a random number, so that your list is different from others. (No peeking until your list is done!) Now that you've got your characters ( Read more... )

 So, I'm in the middle of doing Nano right now. By 'middle' I mean far behind. I did this last year too. I would update the first couple of days of the month, then stop updating and type up a storm, burning through the last week or so. I'm not sure why I do this. This isn't procrastination; I do try to type every night. I just don't get going until ( Read more... )

Meme by nwhyte  but I got it from mizkit  's journal.

Day 02

The Silenced (James Devita) - This is a book much in the same vain as Fahrenheit 451 and the like. Set somewhere in the future there's a very . . . hitleresque regime going on and a girl, who initially just went along with it, gets caught up in a rebellion. Inspired by a true rebel underground ( Read more... )

Meme by nwhyte but I got it from mizkit 's journal.

Harry Potter (J. K. Rowling) - God, this series. Sometimes I'll reread books that I loved when I was younger and wonder wtf my young mind was thinking. Not that they're terrible, per se but not as good as I remember. However, the Harry Potter books seem to get better with each read. The universe is totally ( Read more... )

 First I'd like to start by saying I don't know anything about anything, especially when it comes to computers.

Okay I lied. The real first thing I'd like to say is that this isn't an April Fool's Joke. If you read it expecting that, you're in for a real boring treat.

Point is, I don't want anybody thinking I'm some kind of intelligent person. I'm ( Read more... )
