The Writer's Chatroom

OKAY . . . I have never made a blog in my life (at least, not to my immediate knowledge) so I have half an idea of what I'm doing. I do have a website about video games, anime, manga, books, writing, and anything else like that. It's just getting started if you'd like to drop by.

http://doortolight.ning.com/ My name there is Kairi and there are very few members. Like I said, it's just getting started . . .

I also wanted to say that I'm currently working on 7 - yes 7 - stories right now and I need all the help I can get. There is one I had completed in middle school, but it really sounded like a middle school kid wrote it and looked like it (mistakes EVERYWHERE) so I'm just rewriting that one. I'm also working on a few fanfiction things with a few of my friends.

Oh, I also just sent in a small test piece from one of my current projects for a crit, so I'm hoping to hear some good news and whatever it needs done to it.

Wow, I haven't been here in a LONG time. Well, schoolwork can mess up everything, not to mention busy (lol, or lazy) weekends. I'm still working on getting rid of my horrid writer's block. I did, however, write a rather stunning 7 1/2 page report for my English AP class for The Haunting of Hill House. It's like we were supposed to be the paranormal investigators like Dr. Montague and invite some people. I got so carried away that I wrote way too much. The minimum was 2 pages . . . yeah. ^_^ I love to write. My friends were rather impressed with my work, so I hope that's a good sign that I'm getting better.

Good job, keep up the good work.

The pro to still being in school is that your writing projects include two things good for getting rid of writer's block:
1: Writing Prompts
2: Deadlines

Its much easier to get through writer's block when you don't have the luxury of time on your side to worry about the story.

Wow, I never thought of it like that before. Thanks! I guess it does help when you don't have time to worry. Sometimes stuff just comes to me that way. Kinda like a project we had that had a minimum of 2 pages set to it and I wrote . . . 8. needless to say, I didn't read it all.

Okay, don't click the link for my other website. I closed it because they were gonna make it a not-so-free community thing anymore. I didn't wanna pay for a free website. So - deleted it. Sorry guys.

UPDATES! (lol too bad it'll be at the bottom of this thread . . . )

First things first - I'm formulating another story. Yes, that will make *technically* 8 stories that I'm writing

I am partially over my writer's block. When I say that, I mean that I've sort of gotten over the whole perfectionist thing and just kept it to writing what I feel and going on. Revise it later . . . revise it later . . .

I don't know if I posted this or not, but I am now taking piano. It's one of my other passions (which ultimately affects my writing in a strange way. Music is just part of me. My dad's side of the family has almost everyone matched to an instrument). Piano seems to fulfill my wish to be good at something musically. I love it so much.

I am starting college very soon. Taking five honors classes and an intro to theatre class. I either feel really smart or really stupid, I'm not sure which yet. (I am feeling the smart though, because the honors classes have less students and more teacher to student interaction, so I can get help easier lol).

Other than that, I'm still reading Shadowland from the Immortals series. Very awesome storyline. But the guy in it (the super-gorgeous-outshines-sparkly-vampires man of a man, i.e. - the man your man could smell like) keeps taking ALL of the blame for stuff on his previous actions and thinks that everyone would be better off if he'd back off. Seriously - when will he figure out that he's a hunk of awesomeness inside and out and just learn to deal? Maybe someday . . . .
