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.
