Starting Over

I threw away my book. I didn't even look back or think twice about it. I bit off more then I could chew and couldn't swallow because it was too much. I was choking. Writing wasn't even fun anymore when I was writing this book. It was a stressor. I told my friend about this (Sanagirl) and she gave me some really good advice. She told me to just write. No editing, no worries, just write. I did. And I ended up with some really good material. It's not Fantasy, but Realistic Fiction. I really, really enjoyed myself while writing this. It was like back in the old days when we use to write for the fun of it, not for the task of doing it. If you look under "Chasing a Dying Breed" folder the new material will be in there, but I guarantee you wont see heads or tails of the old stuff. That's long gone. I don't even want to THINK about that old plot. It gave me a migraine, and lots of tears and stress, and doubting myself. I kept the title because the concept that goes hand in hand is still played out in this story. I really hope you guys read what I have and I really hope you guys like it. Stay writing!

I want to see all Hayao Miyazaki's (that's how you really spell his name: 宮崎 駿) movies. I want to see "Spirited Away" a movie that my friend Giselle and Amanda didn't stop talking about in my Visual Arts, I want to see "Ponyo", because of the lovely hand drawn motion picture, and I

me out, lol, and we can have a good time, and hold me up to that, the offer is open! I need a day off and to enjoy my friends. It's been forever since I've gone outside and went to see a movie. And whoever wants to let me borrow "Spirited Away" or "Ponyo", that would be awesome-sauce too.

So, I posted my first actual 'Art Piece' a little while ago of the four characters from my book Chasing a Dying Breed. It came out great, but the only prob is.....I jst realized that it was for SALE!!!!

No....no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Smh. It is not for sale!! I don't want to sell it to anyone *mine, mine, mine, mine*

So yeah, I kind of need help on how to stop DA from saying that my picture is for purchasing, cause it's not. If you could give me some steps on how to deactivate this thing, that would be most appreciated! >.< Btw, I will be posting some more art crap this weekend, and I don't want any of THOSE for sale now :I

I am so frustrated. -___- I am tired of writing. Not writing overall, but getting through this book. I edit it, I see a mistake, I edit it, I see a mistake again--or a part that just seems funny (and not the laughable type of funny), and I have to edit it AGAIN! I am done (at least for the moment). I have such big things for these characters and I can't write them. I can't seem to get passed the first three chapters---THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING! *cough* I'm tired of being stuck in limbo in the first three chapters! It makes me want to shoot somebody, I just cant anymore, I can't. I MY LITTLE BROTHER JUST PUT THE THING iN ALL CAPS AND i AM TO LAZY TO PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS. tHAT IS HOW FRUSTRATED i AM! hE WANT'S TO PLAY MORE....fine! i'LL PLAY HIS LITTLE GAME! aNYWAY, WHOEver is reading this JOURNAL (NOW MY bro is doing it ON AND OFF>>>...>NICE) ANyway< WHOEVer iS rEadIng thiS JOURnal< I rEAlLY woUld aPprecIATe It IF You REAd My boOk And crITIquE It> NOt So mUcH That yoU mAke ME WaNt tO SHoot you, and then CRY LATER>..buT ENOUGH THAT I KNOW IF I AM IN THE RIGHT direcTION> tHEN mAYbe I"ll bE convInced to CONTINUE WRITING my nOVEL!

Picture Time ,)

4 min read
I'm thinking it's time to put my pictures up here! I just finished three last night, and I am very pleased on how came out *why am I speaking so formally?* Anyway, I thought I might give a little bio on each of these thirteen pictures that I'm about to post up. Now heads-up, if you think my writing is eccentric, you've got a another thing coming--there are a few that are almost-normal *scoff, who am I kidding?* but most are just plain peculiar! I'll go by each, no describing what is ON the picture * because I want to wait till I actually post them*, just giving a little some'im some'im on what's it's about.

First: "Psyche in a Dress": It is very blue, just heads up. Crayon coloring, but ain't nothing wrong with that.

Second: "Inconspicuous Blow": Just completed this one yesterday. It is interesting, but there is really nothing I can say about this one. I just like it! BTW, as I said before, once I post them I'll explain in detail about them under Description.

Third: "POP-OUT: Porcelain": This is my most peculiar painting, but for me, the most lovely and interesting. There is no meaning behind the picture AT ALL, and as the title says, there are factors in the pic that POP-OUT.

Fourth: "Niagra's Spirit in the Box": This one is my little brother's favorite because of all the insanity of the colors ;)

Fifth: "Calm": This is my most normal, the calmest of all pieces. My art teacher asked for that, so I gave him just that .

Sixth: "Inconspicuous Blow 2": Completed this same time as "Inconspicuous Blow", and they actually come in a pair, but they but they both have their own different story.

Seventh: "Under Water": This is my mom's favorite, favorite, favorite. I don't know why *shrug*. I think it's because of my abstract interpretation of the way I think water moves passing against currents. *Shrug*

Eight: "Splatter Flower": It's just a cool pic. *grins for no reason*

Ninth: "Paper Butterfly": Another awesome picture. Here's the bio: There was a piece of paper that had ripped out of my Inkspell book and I was getting tired of trying to stick it back in. So I used it. For art. When I post it up, you'll see how.

Tenth: "When I Open a Book": I really like this one because it shows EXACTLY how I feel when I open a novel and dive into it! Very Abstract, but not so much that you can't tell it's a book.

Eleventh: "Angels": My sister had a dream about this picture. It's flat dimensional and depicts what's happening to our world today.

Twelfth: "Insecurity": This picture I did in Mr. Kim's art class and some kids came in for the Garner High Newspaper and really wanted to have the picture in the paper. I was thrilled--ecstatic! *laughs manically* Yeah, it never happened! :( Psh, their loss!

Thirteenth: "Aurora Borealis": My favorite one. This took sweat, blood, and tears--literally. It is in the frame of a broken mirror. The mirror broke, so I used the frame and put the picture inside. It was a huge frame too, so you can imagine how nicely-sized the pic. is. It is also, like "Angels", flat in dimension and abstract. It is a picture of the main character in my book, and like the character, this picture resembles me.

So yeah, that's all! I hope to get these picture posted either by the end of the day or some time this week  or the upcoming. I'm not the best art-est or anything, psh, no way near. But I love what I do, and I don't do it for anybody else but me. While I was doing these picture, I never tried to put in any miraculous meaning *except for "Aurora Borealis", that is why its my fav*, I just did it to do something with my hands. So pleeeaaasssee be nice to me :) I just want to show ya'll what I've been working on at home :)
