Umm.. I'm sorry, did I offend you? = \

No problemo dude. =)
And uh, you're welcome... heh heh... *blushes*
Anyway! So you gonna chop anybody up yet with your fabulous fencing skillz?

You are commenting because I'm amazing and you can't get enough of me. ;)

Ha ha ha... very funny Mister. *sarcasm* Here *hands over cyber puppy*
This'll keep you entertained for a little while. = )

rock on. my AIM is ThiisFiire
:]

Well, I can be a bit of a history dork, so faking it is really hard for me. :]
Although I usually like to place my stories in small, fictional towns. I figure if I make up the town/city, it's a free ticket to make up stuff and be safe.

I don't really write fanfiction anymore. Although I have puttered around with the idea of writing a series of sorts based off of Law & Order use all the aspects of the show, however the characters and setting would be all mine. I don't keep up on watching the new episodes, though, so I don't know what's up anymore.

ah you have a very good point. :] The imagination of the reader can be a powerful tool. another issue i find myself in is that I like to be historically accurate. I have tried to dabble in historical fiction in the past, but then I find myself doing research and not writing.

Talking about writing issues, I also have a problem describing clothing. Physical description... I can describe the environment and stuff. However, when it comes to a character himself/herself, I don't know where to begin. I usually mention hair color and something of interest, but I can't go down the line describing each piece of clothing. Really, clothing and superficial stuff like that isn't all that important to the story - should I HAVE to describe it? Describing clothing, in my opinion, is so teenie chick lit style...

Why is good writing so hard to accomplish? haha.

Well, with dialogue, I've noticed I'll have sparks of genius where I'll be able to come up with something great.. then the rest of the dialogue will sound like crap. I think what it is is that people really DO say lame and cheesy things in real life and we just don't notice. So then, when we write it down and read it, we're like "what the hell?"

The MAJOR problem I have with dialogue is the phrase after the actual dialogue. "he said", "she said"... sometimes, I can get descriptive, but I don't like to get overly descriptive. So then, I end up abusing "he said"/"she said" but then that sounds really bland. o_O

Wow, that sounds intense. I just needed a vague idea of what it was about. I can be really hard to impress sometimes when it comes to reading. Now it's definitely on my To-Read list. :D

And pfff, you're on my topz friendz fer surezzz! You're freakin' awesome and I've only virtually known you for like two days. Congrats on being awesome and wasting my time. (Nah, I don't have anything to do anyway at the moment except sit here and pretend I have something to do.)

I'll have to read Figment. Whenever I find the time and no distractions. :] I want to be able to give you the best feedback possible.
Can you give me the low-down on what it's about? Or do I have to read it and find out? :P

Eh she just wasn't the right one for you. Don't sweat it. You're still young and stuff. I do understand what you mean, though. I thought I really liked this one guy and then he went ahead, used me, and didn't even want to pursue a relationship. ~_~ Blah. At least you weren't used?

Oh well, I digress. Back on the topic of writing. We always are our own harshest critic. It's what keeps us pushing to excel.

Talking about eggs, I really don't like breakfast foods. XP Lucky Charms cereal is it. Haha. But yeah, little details such as that ARE important. They are a crucial part of character development and just making him/her realistic. We all can identify with liking a certain thing immensely, especially when it reminds us of someone we love (or disliking something because it reminds us of someone we loathe). I'll be sure to tell you if I get any of my GOOD stories up and running. Right now, all are just scribbles in notebooks.

I skimmed your new journal entry. Sorry about your loss of love. Well, it's better to have had love and lost it rather than never having loved at all?

Ah, yes, I get the ADD-thing kicking in. (Even though I'm not even diagnosed with that.) I tend to wander off and watch YouTube videos and whatnot. (Assassin's Creed? My younger brother plays/played that game. He's into the whole Xbox 360 thing.) (To be honest, I suck at video games... I even suck at Guitar Hero. Yeah, I fail at life. Hah.) My life - or rather, lack thereof - distracts me as it is. I've put myself in quite a bad position recently and I'm trying to figure out how to save my ass. Being 18 is definitely not as cool as I thought it would be back when I was in elementary school playing with Barbie dolls.

Hey, writer-to-writer here: do you find outlining your story is effective? See, I'm stuck. If I don't outline, I lose track of plot and what needs to be completed. Alas, if I outline, I grow bored of the story or suddenly find thousands of flaws in it. (Wow, maybe that's why I never complete things.)

Music inspires me quite a lot. I have a few story ideas floating around my head but I don't know how to sit down and force the words out. I need to find a perfect place to sit and write in peace. I have gotten "good" results when I've felt down before but as of recently, I've been so down that I can't even pick up a spiffy #2 and start scratching away. I'm also afraid to put anything I work REALLY hard on onto the internet. =/

(But as for inspirational music: rock and roll! :D)

I also find inspiration when I read other works. Such as Oscar Wilde or Lewis Carroll. Or just reading the newspaper,...things around me inspire me. Things around me and the things I feel inside. A joint made of life, so to say... inspiration.

*gasp* you have a wal-mart? In Chesterton, we have to leave town to get to a Wal-Mart. We have a Walgreens? And thousands of banks, I swear. (I lie. I exaggerate.) Today is the first day that my friend, Lisa, and I attempted to escape this town. We went on the South Shore train and explored a bit of Chicago. however, I still had to go home to Indiana... get yelled at by a mother who doesn't understand... and sit here and wish I could go back.

There's no inspiration in dying towns for the uninspired writer.

well I dropped out of CHS senior year. because i rock like that.eeeh long story to be honest. i hate that school but uh if you like it, rock on :] i think the people in Chesterton are horribly snotty and hateful. i can't speak for EVERYONE, just a majority of the people that have harassed me.
i actually moved out of that town and i live in Jackson Township. its like, in between Chesterton and Westville. strange situation.
I do like how the Dune Park train station is nearby though...

Eh, I'm just overly negative. I just can't stand the small town scene, you know? Been trapped way too long here. Maybe someday I'll look back and say "It wasn't that bad." However, for now, I feel trapped.

ahh i'm from northwest indiana, near chicago. (in fact, just went to chi-town today.) places such as Michigan City, Valparaiso, Merriville, ring a bell? I 'm from a small town called Chesterton. ... oh, more people from Indiana have found you! =O It's like a cult.. (ironically, Jim Jones was from Indiana, too... or lived here for a while, I believe.)

Southern, Um, Princeton.
