Crush sound of the week SOKO :: YOU Have A Power On ME

Reorganizing my thoughts...

I went to the "LA Zine Fest"...it was a great event all these amaziiing writer's making a mesh of art and writing. I wish I could draw super cool to make an art type of zine. I bought many sweet zines. It just inspired me to do my own crafty zine about things that I luv and adore. But at the same time I must focus on editing my novel.

I had writers block this week and I was just fixated on the idea that "I couldn't organize my thoughts." I couldn't reconnect with my characters. I was a bit sad because everyone in the writer's groups is sooo good. They are all so talented and I know that my voice and characters are very different and they are a bit out of place in this adult modern fiction world those other writer's are creating. Perhaps, I was being a bit self conscious about the whole situation. I even wanted to ditch the writer's group on Sunday, and attend the LA Zine Fest all day. Somehow I managed to talk myself out of that and decided to show up with my one page description of Ingrid.

I explained to the other writer's what had happened and they all gave me great tips in how to overcome "writer's block."

The key is to continue writing about anything and to write a letter to the character. I just realized that I must stop saying "I can't" and move on with the editing process and reorganizing my thoughts even if it means stripping to shreds this manuscript and start from scratch.

February Madness...

Month 2 of making strives in pursuing a dream. I've been attending my weekly writer's workshop at The Last Bookstore (okay it has only been two sessions). I have to admit that the members of the group are amaziiing writers and I feel quite intimidated by their eloquent writing. The critique I got last week is that I must keep the voice of my character in present tense. I need to find a good grammar book to guide me through the editing process. I do have good news that my story is charming and that I have a winner according to Jill's notes. I finally received the critique that I needed and the motivation of making my story even better.

A friend of mine recommended me to read "The Alchemist" and I am glad that I decided to buy a copy of the book, because I truly understand what the boy is going through and the whole idea of "Personal Legends"...

This is a novel that has hit the right chord in me about going for the impossible dream. It is interesting how I decided to read a novel that I can relate too. I feel like Sebastian from the "Neverending Story.." I am soo happy that I have taken the huge step of trying to make my personal dream a reality. I know it is scary but at the end it will be very rewarding and I will never feel like I didn't try at all.

This Is It

No more excuses,

No more maybes...

I extended my deadlines too many times and the fears have handicapped me in sooo many ways. I am finally going to take that plunge and take my first draft of my novel "Every You... Every Me..." to an official writer's workshop. It is a "HUGE" deal to me.I ran out of excuses...

Boy Diaries

I truly luv "The Last Bookstore" in Downtown. When I went to the bookstore on Tuesday I was soo happy going through the aisles of their modern fiction section because they have such great selection of books and it will be such a wonderful place to meet a boy. You guessed it in the latest edition of the "Boy Diaries" I saw this attractive guy in the aisle of the modern fiction section and he had the nicest brown hair, and the one thing that stood out from him was the red and black long sleeve plaid shirt he was wearing. How can an article of clothing have such presence?

I continued to browse through the modern fiction section when my brother approaches me to tell me that he wanted to buy a book that was in the Fantasy Section. He couldn't make up his mind so I decided to go check out the books in that section. He wanted to buy "The Hobbit" and he had chosen a book that had a letter written for someone which I thought was cool. I kept telling him that he should buy the book with the dedication, because that gave the book more value. I wasn't saying this loud when I noticed the guy peep through the aisle and we looked at each other. It was a moment but I didn't smile at him or anything..I was feeling a bit self-conscious about the way I looked. I shouldn't of cared but I did for that moment. I think when I find someone attractive I kinda freeze and don't know what to do. I have to change that and become a little more approachable. I continued browsing through books and went to other sections of the bookstore. I lost sight of him and the other thing I was thinking about was taping up my two zines on the post wall in the bookstore.

When I noticed him that he was waiting in line to purchase his books. That's when I told my brother that we should go and make line so I can at least get a last glance of him. We stood there for awhile then I decided to post up my zines, because he had finished purchasing his books. He stood by the magazine section and then I went to post my zines. I wished that I could have had the courage to approach him and given him one of my zines, so he could take home. It is funny how all of these things occurred to me after he left. I just wonder if guys wouldn't mind if some random woman approached them? or said "hi" to them. I have a long way to go in finding a guy to crush on and fall in love with.
