ERGGGGGGGG

one word to all of y'all people out there....ERGGGGGG!(as said above)

I hate this summer, there is nothing to do and i have absolute writers block. I just got to the library today and FINALLY got a library card, so i finally got some books. Hopefully reading will help my writers block. BUTTTTT to the erggggg part...most people would say "oh your not doing anything, why haven't you written anything? writing is so easy." ITS NOT! all you writers know it ain't. non-writers...I'm going to say this as nicely as possible...SHUT THE FRONT DOOR AND STOP THINKING ITS EASY WHEN IT AIN'T!


okay my freak out is done...if you haven't noticed...well, ill be getting a lot of those. well, the lesson for today, i don't have one? just read to try to stop writers block. that's all i gotta say to you.

Past, Present, and Future

This is going to be a short and sweet blog. It's going to be because well, I have nothing  else but this is for you guys. For anyone stressing over the past, you know who you are and don't worry I am also, or those who worry about the future, once again I do also. Just live in the present.  Stop worrying about the past, it's history. Stop fretting about the future, it's come. Live in the present, it's now. Keep this in mind ya'll and you can survive a lot. I should probably take my own advise and I think I will and just worry about the present, my future.

Ever had that...

Ever had that project where you ask your friend if you should do it and then get looped into it? Then realize that you have no time whatsoever to do it and you wonder how you're going to? Then as you start to write it you realize just how much you actually want to write?
      My friend Nechole was writing a FanFic and I was reading some on the website and realized I wanted to write one. I told Nechole and realized, that I had no time, but as soon as I started writing, I realized just how much i wanted to write it. So if any of you ever have a questioning thought about if you want to write something or not, first start writing then decide

Ugh, just Ugh.

So I have a couple things in today's post, some may understand, some may get confused.

So have you ever had that assignment in English that you have to write on demand and you just loose yourself in the writing? Hours could pass, minutes, seconds, and you don't know? You just write and when you look up, time passed? Ever had to write and you think you're writing for seconds and minutes have come and gone? I get that every time the teacher tells me to write, heck even the first time I had to write in her class, when I just gotten to the new school, I just wrote and finished first and I re-read and re-read, editing as I went and by then, my time was up. The teacher took one look and was glad I trusted her, when in reality, I trusted my writing, I had no clue what I was even writing, I just wrote.

The other thing I wanted to touch up on, why write and when write? I write because its a way to leave the life I'm in, but what if i didn't have this life, would I still write? Whenever I'm hurt, angry, annoyed, I always go and write. Today, I realized by making the guy who I like, and may be falling for, guilty then it hurts him. So I write when I realize things like that. I was hurt, so I wrote. I was happy, so I wrote. No matter what I feel, I write. I make my stories like my life, my experiences. I say writing is living, living is a necessity, writing is my necessity. Any of you guys feel that way?

Writing

People ask me why I'm such a b***h, why I'm cold hearted. I say that I don't think I am. They ask why I'm emo, I tell them I'm not. People ask me a lot of things, most of which I say I'm not. The only reason I say that I'm not to most of those things, is my writing. I don't know about you guys, but I feel as if writing is my escape from this world, an escape into a different world which i mold into my own. Have any of you felt that? The need to make something, anything, your own? To finally have control over something? I know that I have.

Here comes summer!

The last day of school is coming up fast, soon I'm going to be out of The Wonders of Middle School. Then comes the days of summer in a new town, with new people, and new memories. Two months ago I had to move across the country, I've made new friends, heck maybe even found    a guy who I think I'm falling for. All I know is though I want a lazy summer, it's going to be filled with writing. New summer, new memories, and new stories. A story should be, in my opinion, should have some type of connection in your life, plenty of mine do. For the fellow teens, if you love writing, work on one piece you have this summer, enjoy the summer with your friends, but keep on writing.

Time planning

Have you ever wondered when you would have the time to write? When it's either kids, school, work, or even other priorities, everyone has that problem. Below are a few tips;

Every time is writing time.


Carry around a pencil/ pen and some type of notebook, even if it is a small little notepad that works, and whenever you have a moment write. If and idea comes to you, write. Anytime of the day is a perfect time for writing. Watching the kids? Sit them down with paper and coloring supplies and sit with them and write. At work? Write while you eat, on break, heck! Even while you work if you can. For those who are in school and think that there is no time, well think again. If your teacher gives you a little free time then go ahead and write. Write in lunch, study halls, just never get in trouble and have your teacher take it away!

That one time.


Don't believe that every time is writing time? Then dedicate a time for writing. It can be early in the morning, during lunch, or even late at night. Put aside at least half an hour to an hour just for writing, outlines and even bios' for characters, if writing a story. Wake up a little earlier than usual and write, take time during lunch, even a little time before bed. It doesn't always have to be at the same time. Have an hour a day and split the times through out the day. Even go on a schedule write every other day or wake up a little earlier one day and write during lunch the next day.


Push and work with it  through.


So don't want to take a pen/pencil and a notebook? Don't want to dedicate a time for writing? Then just push through the busyness and just work with it. Work with your schedule, work with the busyness. Go for it and write your heart away. If writing is your passion, well then busyness shouldn't matter, it should work with pushing through it, working with it. You love writing, then go with it.
