Just different things, y'know?
[b]Comfort Zone[/b] is based off a quote from the movie The Perfect Getaway, because there's a part where a guy says, "Nothing exists until I get there." And then whilst googling famous quotes, I stumbled up on a quote by Albert Einstein, that is something along the lines of "Reality is just an illusion."
[b]Broken Mirrors[/b] was originally based off of a couple breaking up, and their terrible breakup caused a fight, and I was going to have that scene in there, with the woman knocking the mirror off the wall. But it turned into something completely different.
[b]City Of Darkness[/b] is simply based off of a picture I saw of a city crumbling; in fact, that picture is actually the background of the layout on that story.
[b]Highschool Confidential[/b] was based off a news report I saw on TV, of a school shooting.
The others are basically based off of just regular events that happen in my life.
I find inspiration in those things and go from there. Music helps too. Sometimes I'll be listening to a song and a lyric will stick with me, and it'll just start as the lyrics turned around into a new sentence, and the sentence becomes a paragraph.
I've been writing since I was able to hold a pen. Even if I had no idea how to spell a word, I'd write anyway. Writing is my outlet. I've had a pretty fucked up life, so the characters in [b]The Pain Will Not Subside[/b] and [b]Comfort Zone[/b] are based off of myself.
I really don't recommend changing anything. Honestly, you're a very good writer. I like how you developed your character; A lot of writers just put down words, expecting it to be good, and to get praise for using big words, and they don't take the time to tell about their character, y'know?
I like your writing style.
It's a lot better than a lot of shit I've read.
But I find inspiration [i]in[/i] detachment.
I want my characters to feel the coldness and isolation of the world, because even if they're fake, I don't want to be alone.
Aha, I started writing when I was around 3 to be honest, and I couldn't read then, so I've always been more of a writer than a reader. Though I learned to read when I was 5, and I was always one of the best readers in my class.
I constantly correct people about their grammar and whatnot, because of literature being such a big part in my life. English is my favorite subject in school, because I like to learn how to improve my writing.
And because we get to read awesome books. hahaha.
:] Tell me when it's updated, yes? I'll be online; I'm always online. Damn insomnia. hahaha.
