Post 2.

Some things I aim to adjust in my writing are my tone and my stamina. I'm not sure why but almost all of my writing are sad or have a very sad ending, it would be pretty nice to be able to write a happy story that I'm pleased with. In all my past attempts I do fine at first but then they spiral into a "Hero has Fallen" story, maybe I just run out of happy words that I know. That's another thing I have little word caches in my brain and there's ALOT under sad, they're all so visceral and raw too! I find they're the best words to use when conveying a mood, I guess I just need to learn more happy words. My stamina also needs an adjustment because I really don't have any at all, I find inspiration for "the next line" everywhere so it's nice for me to write bit by bit all day, granted I write for longer before bed I almost never sit down to write. I think my system works for me but it would be nice to be able to settle down midday and write out a few pages. Overall my two goals seem achievable but I'd also like to attain the general goals, become a better writer, write better plots, and have writing come a little more easily to me. Those however will be a bit more difficult in that they'll be alot harder for me to keep track of progress-wise.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. This is for school so no one follow me Please follow me! I like writing in the third person, however I'm getting better at first person. Poetry is also interesting and I am excited to work more on that. I am taking creative writing (my fourth english elective) because I like writing and it'll force me to write more, if I didn't take it I wouldn't write as much on my own....I've been sitting here for about five minutes and everyone is still typing, how much am I supposed to put down? Whatever I don't dislike writing, I just don't see how everyone has so much to say in welcome post.


Top three books I loved as a kid from youngest to oldest!!

I just looked around at everyones screens and they weren't working on the blog...I hope mine isn't too long now.
