Into the Night...

Why is it we all regret? Do I love....do I like....do I hate...? I’m so confused. 

Alright, so I've joined a couple fic-writing challenge communities to practice my writing styles and the like. Just so I can keep track of what I've written for each community (Only two, no big deal), I'm going to make out a list of all the themes, and mark them off as I go.

 

Type: 1st person narrative
Title: 100 Years
Rated: PG-13 for mild language
Description: Written for the Winngs Guild April 22-27 Writer's Prompt. "You have been thrown back in time 100 years, and you have no electricity. In 300-500 words, write about how you will live."

Word Count: 452

( Screw Thomas Edison )

Word Count: 409

 

Imagine my amazement when I stumble upon this amazing website loaded with wonderful Naruto Shippuuden screenshots! I cannot help but rant at the beauty that is the Kazekage...

Warning, MAJOR spoilers is you haven't seen the Shippuuden episodes.

Poetry, what else? I found this in a random word document, unfinished, and had the urge to complete it. It follows an "A,B,C,B" rhyme scheme, and a 4-syllable iambic pentameter-type pattern. Other than that, it's a mess of jumbled thoughts. "Organized madness," I suppose you could call it...

... Make another story outline.

Okay, so this is less of an outline, and more of a dumping zone for ideas; but, hey, I'm not complaining.

This will be updated frequently.

But do not look, unless you want to see major spoilers. I was considering setting this to private, and am still considering doing such. It's pure chance that I went ahead and put this up as public.

* All new updates are in ITALICS.

**Update 5/7/07**

Update 5/2/07

Update 4/15/07

So, I've found out that it's a lot easier to keep track of what I've done in my fictions if I keep an outline. The following is a breif summary of each day which has passed in my fiction, "Midnight Tears," and is really just for my own benefit.






* All new updates in ITALICS

Inspiration can be quite a nuisance when you're already trying to focus on another project. Ah, well, this bit of ranting may get my creative juices flowing. So, here I go, launching into full-fledged philosophical mode... beware, my friends. We travel into the night... you may find yourselves at a loss for words.

Wow, the competition was awesome! I had such a great time; practicing cello 'till my arm fell off (not literally), freaking out over copying off 3 different copies of my solo music, being hounded by judges on who was in what ensemble and where they were at the moment. I was in two ensembles ("Fireworks" and "Latin Doll"), and a solo ("La Cinquantaine"). The judge for both my ensembles was Mr. Chang - a hilarious Chinese guy who says "Vibrato" in an English accent... His wife, Mrs. Chang - an incredibly sweet viola player - was my solo judge.

The "Fireworks" ensemble did okay. The violin player sitting beside me was playing the viola part, which I was supposed to follow, but she was so quiet it was hard to hear her. I managed, though, and we scored a "1" (On a scale of 1-5, 1 being "Superior," the highest you can get.). "Latin Doll" was a jazzy piece between me, two violins, and a viola. I was the only girl in the group, but it was really fun. We wore dark shades as a sort of 'costume' for the piece. While we were waiting outside the door, Mrs. Chang came out and gave us a funny look, saying, "I would hate to run into you guys in a dark alley." It was hilarious! 

I did pretty well on my solo, considering my cello teacher pretty much told me that if I went in there with music, he would be ashamed to claim me as his student. Yes, that's right: I had to memorize an entire 2-page piece, and play it perfectly and with emotion, all for the benefit of my cello teacher's ego. It was okay, though. He's a great teacher, and it was actually easier to feel the emotion in the piece without staring at the notes. I didn't play it perfectly: I messed up during one of the last phrases, and was sort of winging it for a measure or two, but I didn't let it show, and I still got a "1" on the piece, and plenty of compliments from Mrs. Chang. 

Afterwards, my dad met up with me and my mom, and we went out to a nice restaurant to eat lunch together. The funny part was that my friend - who had been at the competition and who I had seen only fifteen minutes before - had went to the same restaurant, and our tables were right across from each other! It was pretty fun, yelling across the noise in the room to talk to each other about the competition, and what the judges had said we could improve on. 

Next time you're in a crowded restaurant, and you see a friend sitting near to you, try shouting out random musical terms and see the weird looks people shoot you. It's really quite funny.

Well, that was my Saturday adventure, and now that my busy weekend is finally winding down, I should probably get to work on chapter 23 of "Midnight Tears"... So I'll let you guys go!

Much Love,

So, instead of the usual "This is my first post, blah blah blah"  thing most people put up, I think I'll just cut to the chase. 

I do not feel at leisure to foreclose my name to anyone on this site. I am a female, and I am sixteen. This journal is a place to vent my jumbled thoughts, and to - hopefully - interact with others who have the same interests as me (Music, writing, fanfiction, Gaasaku, Zutara, stuff like that.). 

Now, for anyone who reads my fanfiction, "Midnight Tears," I realize I'm late on the update, and I have some explaining to do. First of all, I have had a busy week, riddled with Praise and Worship practice (I play piano for my church.), heaps of Biology (The most hated of all subjects.), and working my tail of on a Cello solo I'm performing for a competition this...oh, say, tomorrow. Any spare time I've had has been spent practicing for this competition, and lately I haven't had the drive to stay up as late as I usually do (I'm usually awake until 3AM working on that story for you guys...). 

So then, you must be thinking, 'Why are you on here instead of using this free time to work on your story!?' The answer is simple: I've been working enough this week, and I'm tired of it. Now is the time for me to sit back, relax, and vent. Next week should be less hectic, though the week after that I have a competition on guitar/vocals and creative writing stuff. Yeah, busy busy. The funny thing is, I'm home-schooled (This is a recent development, actually.), and I was a lot busier when I first started writing "Midnight Tears" and had something to do every day of the week (Besides Saturdays.).

Writing is a love of mine, true, but music is my focus; my pursuit; my career. I want to keep writing, always, but it's just not as important as the other things going on in my life.

I suppose I'll finish up here. There's still some things I'd like to talk about, but I'll save that for a later date. It's already 12AM here, and I have to wake up by 7AM to make it to my Cello competition on time...

Love ya',
