Creative Writing Impromptu 2
My professor gave us this prompt: You discover the world really does revolve around you. She gave us 17 minutes. This is what I wrote:
TO: The Director of the CIA
There was a time when I could skulk unawares, without a single person giving me much thought. It wasn’t that my existence was meaningless, it was just that I was too quiet for an outspoken generation. I was raised to mind my own...

Creative Writing Exercise 3-Dialogue
This time we were told to write a story with predominately dialogue telling the story. We had to have two characters, each hiding a secret, and we had to only hint or give clues to the readers as to what the secrets were. Can you guys guess? Professor gave us a word limit on this as well: 750 words or less.

I turned on the shower and blood poured out of the faucet. Horrified, I attempted to exit the shower, but the blood already smeared on the tub’s floor caused me to slip. I flopped over the tub’s shallow wall, wailing and...

I once dated a writer and
hankyouhaveastupidface:
Writers are forgetful,
but they remember everything. They forget appointments and anniversaries, but remember what you wore, how you smelled, on your first date… They remember every story you’ve ever told them - like ever, but forget what you’ve just said. They don’t remember to water the plants or take out the trash, but they don’t forget how to make you...

jellyfish-and-tigers:
Hey guys! Just a quick PSA here. Next Level Gaming Online is my university’s gaming review/podcast group and if their Facebook page gets 200 Likes, one of the members will do the Oppa Gangnam Style dance. If you love video games, Like it! If you just wanna see yet another guy attempt to be as swag as Psy, Like it!
Cheeky! I was tempted to do the same thing here, but...

And the cracks begin to show
I’ve been having some moments in my life where I realized something. I haven’t been a very happy person for a while.
It’s mostly due to my part-time job. Jobs always suck and I’ve never been a fan of my customer service job since day one. Mostly because I’m the quiet person that doesn’t like socialization (I can interact with people, it’s just I...

have you ever loved a character so much that you can’t even really explain why you love them as much as you do or when you started feeling that way it just sort of happened and that’s how it’s going to be forever and ever

Everyone has those days
But I seem to have one every week! Today for instance, I got up uber early and I was ready to eat a filling breakfast then get to school uber early! And then family happened, I got distracted in discussing the universe with my family, then I left later than usual. Spent HALF AN HOUR driving around campus parking lots, finally found a space, only to see I was several minutes late and since I parked...

Guilt Trip:Writer's Block
I follow a huge plethora of artists on dA, and I remember almost a year ago, one particular artist suddenly announced they were going to leave for a while. It was a six month hiatus, but around the end of Spring semester, they came back. Now they’re exploding with artwork after artwork, good/better quality than when they left.
To be honest, I’m not enjoying much of my summer because...

Helping a Friend can be difficult
But thanks to some strong hazelnut flavored coffee, I may have a solution. Fashion changes with the times and the fickle nature of a generation, but art will always be able to stand the test of time. Art is the monument of an era, no matter how odd, how confusing, or controversial. So between an article of clothing and a parcel of art, the parcel of art looks more promising. :) Hopefully this may...

Looking back at old posts
…I definitely suffer seasonal depression. Cause all those feels are pretty much gone from me now it’s summer.
Going to be posting some short stories soon (by “soon” I optimistically mean tonight) and they are going to be rough drafts…random bits I pick up whenever I stare dully into the fluorescent lights at my job.
See you guys soon.
