Hanging out at Stanford University. I would be sleeping but I feel this a moment to document. So I'm at admit weekend. It's okay. A little tiring. I guess I don't approve of the whole idea of immersion where they basically throw everything at you. It would have been fine if it was at least a week for me to adjust, but it's too much for 3 days.

Dammit! Do you ever feel like chucking your computer out the window because a story is sooo good and you can never compare? Jealous? Oh hell yes! I am a little ball of frustration right now. I was trying to write with more emotion. Utter fail. So forced and it disrupted the flow. I don't know what it is. Maybe I just suck at feeling! Then I reread ( Read more... )

Ahh golden walls. So lovely to look at. Rich. Beautiful. Give me blinding headaches because I can't turn my eyes away from the screen.

So I was bored and I really wanted to read fanfiction. Genius is a Curse ( from here on known as GC) was a story recommended to me by best friend and beta about a year or two ago. I stuck it in my fav folder and it's ( Read more... )

So I was reading my old stories... Wow... Just... Wow... Not the good kind of wow either. I suppose I should just be grateful that I have proper grammer... Mostly.

Actually I feel like my writing is kind of becoming more bland. At some points, Bicycles Suck was a lot more interesting than Working Habits. Well, I'm working on it. Geez, that's a ( Read more... )

Kawaii! Kakui! Gomenasai! Daijobu! Yes yes, I understand. You have the average capabilities of picking words up when you watch anime. I get it! Leave it alone! At least, that's how I feel when I read fanfiction and see bits in Japanese.

Actually it doesn't bother me that much. I can stand the occasional gomenasai and ano and daijobu (actually ( Read more... )

So have you ever reached a point where you were so excited about writing that the ideas were bursting out of your head, breaking the dam known as writer's block. Then you were like "...Crap."

Why?

You have too many ideas.

Damn.

But really, it sucks when that happens because you want to write all of them before the muse leaves you, but unfortunately you ( Read more... )

So I have a system when it comes to writing. Not necessarily a good one. Not even really put to the test, but it's there. It's called Putting-A-Ton-of-thought-into-every-word-and-winging-it.

Catchy right?

In any case, with my new Reborn 1827 story, I decided to actually have a new system. Write a rough draft, edit three times, send it off to my ( Read more... )

Okay, so often when I read fanfiction, I hear people complain about cliches. It makes sense. Some things are so overdone, it makes you want to puke, but honestly if you put it into perspective, it's not the repetitiveness so much as the poorly written, saccharine, shoot-me-with-a-gun "romantic" moments.

Cliches, themselves, I feel are not bad. In ( Read more... )

I really am awful at updating these things. First Gaia, then Greatestjournal, and now this. Oh well I'm here now ( Read more... )

Well I'm excited about several things.
1. HP and the OOTP movie is coming out in 2 days. Makes me very happy.
2. My birthday is in 8 days. Whoo hoo.
3. I'm going to New York in 5 days.
Wow it's going to be an interesting week.
