Inspiration?

Today as I was compiling a list of books that I want to read during my co-op work term in January I started to look into Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott. I watched a video where she explained that she had the same dream three nights in a row and after that she just had to tell Alice’s story. Then that got me to thinking, what pushes someone to just write? Like why is it so important to writers to get this ONE person’s story out there? They’re not technically real people, and truth be said, they won’t be disappointed if they don’t become the next Bella Swan or Harry Potter, having their story loved (or loathed in the case of Bella) by so many.

So why do we feel like people need to know them? It’s really odd. Today I started a story that I had no intention of starting for another couple of years, until after the trilogy I had planned is finished. But the need of the characters’ stories to be told just over took me. These two characters, their story is so intertwined with each other even though they technically never meet in person. And I just feel like they can’t sit back and wait for me to be ready for them. I feel like I’m being forced into this, that’s how strong their need is.

And here I am talking about them like they’re real, like they hold influence over me. But they do. They really do. -__- This is what happens when you’re a writer. At least, in my definition of writing anyways. Now 250 words later I have started this story which will probably be finished before any other story I’m writing right now.

Otherwise, I got Adam Lambert’s new album. I always liked him since Idol and I have to say I really enjoy his album, completely and thoroughly. It’s rare when I like EVERY song on an album but this one is just really good. I realize now just how sexual For Your Entertainment is…. o_O But my favourites have to be: Whataya Want From Me, If I Had You, Music Again, and For Your Entertainment.

Actually the only thing I like from Music Again is really the chorus when they say ‘Oh you make me want to listen to music again’.

Ok, I’m off to do stuff. See ya~

Thomas Edison = Douche.

So if you haven’t looked on my twitter, I explain that I hate Thomas Edison now because Assassin’s Creed 2 has made me aware of something. To try to fuck Tesla up, Edison said that AC current was dangerous, and proved it by electrocuting an elephant.

Now I’m all for science and the battles between scientists to disprove each other. I know that both Tesla and Edison did some crazy shit when they were battling. And apparently, Topsy the elephant was already supposed to be killed due to the fact that she killed 3 men and attacked her trainer multiple times. But still, you don’t electrocute an elephant. And what’s even worse is HE TAPED IT.

When Assassin’s Creed 2 started to show a clip of Electrocuting an Elephant I cringed and closed my eyes. I don’t know why this bothers me so much. Animal cruelty, and animals suffering is something that has always easily affected me. If you’re looking to piss me off, or alternatively, get me crying that is the way. The fact that Edison not only killed Topsy, but multiple animals just to prove a point is so utterly disgusting and just mind blowing that I don’t really know what else to say.

And the worst part is, in the end Tesla won anyways, so Topsy’s death was publicized for nothing.

[/rant]

On a side note, I’m utterly addicted to Assassin’s Creed 2. Not only is Ezio the hottest thing ever (even though Desmond looks just like Ezio, I still dislike him because he’s not really an assassin >_>), the game is just utterly addicting. I’m about half way through the game, but only because I have done all the secondary memories and gotten all the treasures that I can up to Venice. Yes, I even went back to the Mountains to get the 10ish chests that were along the path.

I’m almost done with Sky’s Content 15. I’ve done a first draft, almost done my first revision of it. I wrote about 3/4 of the chapter where this one decision that someone makes (which is VITAL to the plot) set. Then I think ‘What if they do the opposite?’ And this whole rush of inspiration came to me. Holy crap. It’s awesome. :D So now that plot is majorly different. Well sort of. I still do something I planned before hand, but it only takes like… 7 more chapters to get to it.

Anyways, off to sleep. I got class tomorrow. Only two more weeks of classes and I’m done until May! I’m really loving this coop thing. Man.

Bad Romance

I’m obsessed with the new Lady Gaga song. Oh my god. It’s making me want to write. Woo~

So I managed to secure myself a web developer job for school :o That means I’ll be doing what I normally do for the site for moneyz! Yay.

Also, school sucks. It’s so horribly busy. BUSY BUSY. It never ends.

Oh and, Supernatural is amazing. Supernatural > Everything. I mean like, they actually furthered the plot by taking information that the characters were never going to know by making someone write books about the series in the series and have the information told to them at a later date. You don’t really do that when you’re a writer, since that’s like a big cheat and cop out plot wise… but it’s GENIUS. I’m jealous.

Plus, they’re doing a lot of spoofing lately. Of other shows and themselves. When Sam and Dean were spoofing David Caruso, OMG, so funny. And the Grey’s Anatomy one was pretty good too :p OH and (K)night Rider. That was awesome.

And I only bring up how awesome Supernatural is because Angela was glad Vampire Diaries beat it as she pointed out in her tweet: “Ha! Vamp Diaries bumped Supernatural. Win.” >=/

I’m just teasing. But seriously, Vampire Diaries is horribly addicting and all but I’m a hardcore Supernatural fan. Supernatural is just #1 for me always. :D

Anyways so it’s been a rough week for me. Dreams. God. Dreams really suck sometimes. And I say dreams and not nightmares for a reason. It just sucks when you have dreams of something you REALLY want but realize you’re never going to have it. And so the dream would be amazing but then you’re left hurt when you wake up because you realize it was only a dream.

I want your love and

I want your revenge

You and me could write a bad romance~~~~
