Hello

It's me,
An author on writer's block.

As I talked about recently, I just finished my first trilogy.  I'm not really one to suffer from writer's block, usually, and I don't think that's the right word to use.  After all, I got started on a new book almost immediately after finishing RMS, and I'm still writing on a regular basis.

You probably noticed I skip my regular Saturday post, because I had nothing to say.  I keep finding myself wanting to say something but everything's gone from my lips, from my fingers...I feel like I've got nothing left.

The problem is I'm having trouble finding that moment of inspiration, that flame that drives me, and the only thing that keeps me interested is well...my obligation to keep it up.  As a blogger who's worked for years to keep blogging, a writer with a reputation for deep emotion in all my work, an artist with talent for beautiful peices, I'm scared to move on, but I'm also scared to stay here and mess up.

Basically, to sum up my ramblings:  CHANGE *hisssssss*


Please don't misinterprate, I'm not trying to be like 'Haha I'm so amazing and fabulous and ugh life is so hard for me blah blah pay attention to me'.  I'm used to change.  Change is a part of life - can you adapt?  Can you be flexible?  How we react to the world around us defines us as who we are.

So yeah, I'm in a transitional period right now.  I'm still trying to figure out who I am, but as the days and weeks and months and years slip by, I'm becoming more and more aware that 'the future' is a lot closer than it was a year ago - I'm a freshmen and if I want to travel and follow my dreams as an author illustrator, then I need to start saving up and working towards those goals now.  

Things are changing for me, yes.  I'm growing up, the world is changing around me.  But I'm going to do my best.  I'm going to try to be the person I know I'm meant to be, the best version of myself.  Even if that means that I have to step away from things that I'm used to doing on a regular basis - blogging, drawing, and writing.  We all need a break sometimes, and I guess I might take one myself.

Maybe I won't see you next week, but I hope your day still goes well :)

    I don't care whether you were rambling-keep on rambling. i think, at this time and place, we seem to lose a sense of inspiration and motivation. I can't explain why-I suppose it could be because the year is whizzing through. I mean, yesterday was the 1st of March and now it's the last day of March.When things seem to lose their spark, I think the two most important factors is positivity and purpose: what is the purpose of what I'm doing? Why am I doing this and can I think about it in a positive state? *sorry for my rambling*

DIY Notebooks!! - Kathleen

OK everybody, I hope you are having a great week! I, personally, have been super excited for today. Since school is starting soon, I thought I would share something I have been doing for a few years now. I like to decorate my school supplies in cute scrapbook paper. Some of my friends have asked me how to do it, so I'm going to show you how! Supplies: Spiral Notebook Scrapbook Paper Solid Color Printer Paper Graph Paper Liquid Glue Ruler Pencil Black Marker/Pen Directions: Trace your scrapbook paper to fit the notebook and cut it out. Then squeeze glue all over the front cover. Lay the paper down on top and use your ruler to push any air bubbles out. This is what it should look like now. 2. Write the title of your notebook (i.e. Math, English etc.) on the graph paper and cut it out, leaving a little room around it. 3. Trace around the graph paper on the colored printer paper, leaving about a centimeter of border. Cut it out and glue t...

Jay & Noelle - WRITINGS TIPS

HEY GUYS!!! It’s Noelle and Jay, working on a post together!  (Gods help us) I’M HERE TOO, DUDES!! >:D Any who, we're doing a nice little writing tips post ...Like I said.  This is just a crazy post where two writers (also, character killers :D) will talk about writing and how to beat writer's block and...stuff like that.  Wow, I’m so articulate today. Very. But yeah, we’ll talk about the boring stuff. Then get to the cool stuff…..LIKE HOW TO KILL OF A CHARACTER AND MAKE IT COOL! (that’s her way of saying she likes killing characters)  Alright, I’m going to act like a lame talk show host and say, Jay, how do you beat writer's block? I mostly just do other writing styles for a bit, maybe work with other characters and such. Looking at comics, listening to music and drawing is also really helpful! (But sweet food is my real motivation, guys.) It’s about the same for me.  I’ve got a power playlist that I turn waaaay too high up and then ...

Jay- Day 301 (Another Story)

By -
Why hello there! Welcome, welcome! Remember that cute little Easter Bunny short story I wrote a while back? Well, I thought, since it was so much fun to write, i'll do another! Fun, right? This is another cute little fable made into reality. How about a demented version of...I don't know....Cinderella? The Little Mermaid? Sleeping Beauty??? No. No, those won't work. How about.....hmm let me think here....the Tooth Fairy? No, wait. Santa!! That's it! I'm gonna do jolly old Saint Nick. Let's get started shall we?? Another Beginning. Another End. Arthur was a good ten year-old. His mother worked in law and his father was a novelist. Both his parents made good money and lived in a two story colonial in Virginia. Arthur had a Labrador named Mercury and a little sister named Jane. "Hey mom? Can I open one of my presents?" He asked. You see, tomorow was Christmas. That made today Christmas Eve. Arthur, being the hyperactive ten year old he was, was ...
