Bluebirds and Birch trees

I spent the past half hour or so cleaning my typewriter. Yes, they still exist. I own one because I am a particularly happy person with a love of vintage things. And while it might not be what many or most consider the "perfect vintage" typewriter, it's a typewriter for crying out loud! IT'S AWESOME. No it's not baby blue, or that strange shade of green so many things seemed to come in back in the 50's, it's beige, and it's marvelous. It weighs a ton it seems, but it works fantastically! It does one thing, (cue many teenagers gasping at the horror) it types. Because it's a type writer. Too many things nowadays do too many different things and altogether get to be extremely bothersome or annoying. To have something like a typewriter is a very welcomed change in it all. Granted, I am here writing about my typewriter on my computer, because I use my typewriter for things such as book revisions, and letters. (Plus, I doubt I would send out multiple...

How I torture you so. Seriously. Look at this list of things that this character has going against him MENTALLY. Multiple personality disorder PTSD Insomnia Depression Seriously, as if he didn't already have enough on his plate. Oh, how about this one, for PHYSICAL problems. Insomnia Malnutrition Vitamin D deficiancy Possibly a form of osteoporosis  ISN'T THIS ALL JUST LOVELY.   Don't forget the Marie-Antoinette Syndrome.   Oh yeah we wouldn't want to forget that. So mental problems, physical-internal problems, and then physical-external issues. This guy's a riot of rampaging rhinos of stress and probably blood issues.    Don't forget the br-   Dude, spoilers!   So yeah, what are your characters suffering from? This guy's one of the specials in that he might live till the end of the series. (And if you think you're mean to your characters, sometimes you're not. Not in comparison to other writers--look at my list for this gu...

So its been a day past two weeks since I have written here, and to be quite and altogether frankly honest it's because I have both forgotten, and not having anything in particular to write about. Granted my last post was simply about a bowl of oatmeal, but even that in of itself to me was rather fun and hilarious to write, don't ask me why. Right now I am participating in a Story Swap with some others, though this one is a Secret Santa story swap, and I have no idea what it's all going to end up being like, but I am very excited nonetheless! I'm also trying to figure out a last few presents for some people who have to be the most difficult people on earth to buy gifts for... simply because they literally already have everything they want because they've bought everything throughout the year, which makes it rather difficult for us gift givers. So, back to the homemade first square. Except I have one problem with that one. I have nothing with which to make homemade ...

I have made a bowl of mush. It's a tasty mush. This mush is called oatmeal. A bowl of oatmeal with fruit. It's a tasty bowl of mush and fruit. Fruit. Cranberries and banana. A tasty bowl of sweetened fruity mush. So that's my thoughts on today.

Do you have that one song, that no matter what you're going through, or where you are, it never fails to lift you up. I would say yes, but I have more than one, because I can listen to any of one of these songs that I'm about to list, and I never fail to feel so much massively better after I have. I count myself blessed that I can listen to such beautiful music, and what's beautiful to me. I am so blessed, far beyond anything I realize. But this is one of those things I recognize, because to be able to listen to music so frequently like I do, is something not that many people have. Music is a large part of my life, and I don't know what I would without it. So here's a list of songs that I listen to, that never fail me or let me down. Owl City, Tokyo -  Pinterest, Tokyo Vicetone, United We Dance -  Pinterest, United We Dance Owl City, Kiss Me Baby, It's Christmas Time -  Pinterest, Christmas Time Kye Kye, Honest Affection - I couldn't find a video...

Dream big, because even if your dreams might be too big for one person, that's what you have your friends for. That's what you have your family for. My dreams are larger than life most days. But that shouldn't stop me. Soon, I'll be able to clear a good amount of stuff out of my room, and get going. I plan on not holding back the moment I graduate. Dreams, here I come. Not to say I don't chase them now, oh heavens no! I chase them the best I can with everything else right now, and true it's hard. But I'm not stopping. I can do so much, but with the help of others, I can do so much more. Look forward to this not simply being a lonely blog of a girl who doesn't know what to say, but one with a definite dream. One that I'm chasing with all of my heart. Step one, clean the room so that dreams can begin to take form. Step two, clean the mind at the same time. Step three, we'll see what we feel like doing after steps one and two. True I expect life t...

Completion. Complete. Whole. Full. Total. Finished. Done. Without a doubt.   50 thousand words!!!! I finished NaNoWriMo today. Quite honestly I have almost no clue what to do now. I say almost because I have only vaguest sense of the kind of idea I want to have in order to continue. Many would be horrified at these next words of--I'm no longer going to work without an outline. This doesn't mean that I won't have long times where I just write whatever I want without a plan, but for a full blown novel, I'm not going to work on one without have at least a very basic and bare bones idea of what I'm doing here. I used an outline, a very basic and weird, and altogether not very well written outline for Camp NaNoWriMo this past July. But what happened? I wrote 35 thousand words and finished ahead of schedule. With this in mind, I have no doubt that with how crazy my brilliant mind can be, with all of it's messy thoughts running around, all unruly and without...
