The Life and Times of a Part Time Dreamer....

Trapped in the house in my windowless room, while the whole house is asleep. How do I escape? Bring on the books!!! I spend the next few hours absorbing the first 300 pages of Gone With the Wind. As my nose remains firmly wedged between the pages of the incredible story, I bask in the beauty and eloquence of the writing and character depth. Soon I am there, smoothing my petty coats along side Scarlette O' Hara and Melly Wilkes. Fluttering my taffeta fan and enjoying the glory of being a southern belle. Wincing at the flare of Scarlettes temper, and admiring the more gentlemanly side of Rhett Buttler. All the while thinking, how does one write something so..... inspiring, glorious, REAL. You have to know your characters inside and out, you have to know what you're talking about, and live in each of there shoes. The witty dialogue, the picture of the absolute reality of cruel, hard, changing life. I hope some day, maybe, I can write something so moving and real, that it will neve...

Wouldn't you know it, the one time that a writing craze actually grabs me and says PUT THE PENCIL TO THE PAPER is 12:25 at night, right after finishing Thing I Know About Love ( incredible book by the way, loved it). So considering I probly would have been shot or getting up in the middle of the night to post this I decided to wait for a more reasonable hour. So lets take a trip back in time or a moment and see what was going through my mind 10 hours ago... I've decided I need to start writing again, ex specially about my life, but I also feel like I need to have a point so I guess my point will be... Things I Know About Life. So lets jump in shall we. Life is a scramble for me right now. I know, I know, It's summer right, everything is supposed to be cool and relaxed, no school- no problems right?
