Writing is...

Slowly breathing, listening to the music that constantly flows from the overheated laptop, my pen starts to dance across the blank piece of paper as idea after idea begin fighting their way out of my mind and into text. This transformation, however, does not come easily. Some ideas, like vicious monsters, attack my head as they want nothing more but to be seen, to be read. Too many of these come and scar my brain, leaving horror/romance/adventure novels full of insane twists that ruin the story. But over time I have taught myself how to tame these wild beasts into domestic kittens, only to be awakened as the readers eyes flow swiftly across the lines of text, pulling them deeper into the novel so that their whole being is absorbed, until they can do nothing until they find out what happens to the protagonist in the end. In the final epic sentence where all their hopes and fears are finally accomplished. Leaving them with every cell of their body being satisfied. As if they had just eaten a grand feast prepared for The Highest King, ruler over all the land. And are now being placed in the master bedroom to rest their tired bodies. When they awake, they remember the night before, when they were the main character, feeling everything the main character felt. And they breathe deeply, letting their minds swim in the wonderment that comes only after reading a great novel. Being the great master mind behind these ingenious plots is what I love to do.

Novel in progress

Currently I am working on a novel that is yet to be named. I have written the first chapter but it is only 15 pages hand written...so it is not that much...at all. So I am rewriting it; adding more detail so that hopefully it will be longer. I'm really excited about getting this book going. I can't wait to get to some scenes that in my head are AMAZING! Let's hope that it will be the same on paper. Sadly, one of the problems is that it is a pretty stereotypical story with a few twists and original ideas. Ya know, one person destined to save the world, the evil people out to get them, kindly good guys helping the protagonists on their quest, forbidden romance, the works. But hey, aren't those the best books to read? The constant struggle between good and evil seems to entice our minds and hold them captive. Everyone loves forbidden romance and heroes, right? Sigh, I have already decided that in 50ish years there will be no more original ideas, only combinations of old ideas with rare twists that have already been used... Heck, that time is already here. Woe is me! I am a wannabe creator! Meh, not really, seriously the novel I am writing is really awesome and I can't wait to write it all down!!! Hooray for paper and pencils!
