A blog is where one jots down the random thoughts in ones head at any time they should feel like. Pretty much an online diary.
I pretty much use this as a tool for jotting down whatever comes into my mind at a given time that I feel deserves to be recognised as important in my life. For those that don't already know, I write....pretty much a nomad in search for someone to publish my first novel....With luck, I did find a publishing house that have expressed interest (YAY!!!!)...not before many many many painful rejections before that came along. In the midst of re working some of the content....according to "the editor's helpful criticism"(rolls eyes.....)...which I did put on hold till I finished my second semester exams....now thats done.....
I write fiction. But hey, every story has its source. And its source usually comes from a personal experience or an event or a series of events that have unfolded in front of their eyes. Let me tell you this is true. My mind is gifted at taking an event that may have occurred and extrapolating it to create something different, a different outcome, a different character, a different scene.
At the moment, I have just written a new chapter for a new book....I love that feeling when you start off something new, have hopes for it being incredible....the ardous task comes after as you get through writing the first few stories ( i write in short stories, then compile them and fill in the missing blanks) and find that the events you have created may not "mesh" as well as you would like it to. Which is why I am avoiding looking at my first creation.....and the mess it cause after....
To aspiring writers out there, write when filled with emotion. That is when your thesaraus is at full blare and you think the clearest. The best way to convey emotions is to be in emotion.
Feel free to comment...although if you have nothing nice to say, shut up. Ill end up making a voodoo doll of you and sticking you with pins.
Till next time!
