A Thought

Sometimes we find ourselves wondering how we are to find our way. Wondering how we will survive these days to come. Yet time and time again we want time to go faster and then later ask for it to go slower, have we not lost our minds? We wonder and never realize the answer that we so desire is right there in front of our eyes, if only we dare to open them. Hope is coming, it always had been. Believing in something does not make it come true. Acting upon something might though. We search for ways to become powerful when the most powerful weapon any could dream of lies inside of each and every one of us. Only those who are daring find it and fewer use it to it's full potential. Your heart is more than an organ. Your brain is more than just cells that make up your body. You are powerful, you just have to believe it.

Songwritting

Do you ever listen to a song and listen to the lyrics and smile? Do you imagine the writer sitting there listening to their art and see their proudness seeping from their eyes? A piece of art in 3 and a half minutes. A story so short yet so beautiful. A string or words so fitting and elegantly put, breathtaking. I want to one day look upon my work proudly, seeing a finished product and smiling at the little bundle of pages in my arms knowing that it is a part of me that I'm very proud of even if no one else likes it because I made it and it finally makes sense. Quite a nice idea actually.

So many sub plots

I write new information on one person and find I need to ask and answer fifty more questions! This is never ending! I need a bigger bit of paper and a lot more drawing room. Maybe a desk would be nice?

Which reminds me... I really need to finish that assignment for my diploma... Whoops.

Over a year later

Well, it's been over a year since I said that I would have written a book by now so you can say that I failed. However I do not believe I did. You can say I haven't written a book which is true but I could have, it just would have sucked and even I wouldn't try and self publish. No, I have learnt so many things that no one can teach you, things I had to learn on my own. I'm sure people tell you these things over and over but it's something you have to learn yourself.

There are a couple of things that stand out:
1. You can't rush the process. You may want to write and you may be brilliant but you cannot rush. You see the ultimate outcome and forget the hills you may have to take to get you there. The process is the reason of greatness.
2. You can't just have a little information and begin to write, you need to have a good foundation of your characters and their story before you actually begin telling it.
3. Taking longer is better than shorter. Take your time.
4. Mind maps
5. Think about what your goal really is because that will help you with how much time you spend in the before stage, it'll also keep you grounded.

Well there is my update so far... I think 2 more years should do it.

P.s. I have thought many times about why I write this and I realize that if I ever get published I want my fans to find this blog so they can see the process. What fun!
