You Know You re A Real Writer When

    When someone asks you, how did you do it?   How did you become a Real Writer?   This question popped up in my mailbox yesterday, and I am totally psyched.   It’s so cool to be asked.   My first impulse was to trudge through the story of my life: reading, thinking like a writer, the impulse to blurt every thought that flutters through your head, applying news-deadline discipline to writing fiction, joining writers’ groups to maintain a creative buzz, pouring through how-to books... read more

Writer's block, the curse of all writers! I got the first chapter of my Valentine's Lilly/Jackson story out and then my mind went  completely blank (Which really doesn't take much to do) anyway I put the second chapter up, hopefully it doesn't suck. Also I was looking around Livejournal and I was wondering why there is no Lilly/Jackson community? Miley/Oliver has one and both have the same likelyhood of actually happening. If someone say...I don't know me were to make one, would anyone actually...

It's been a looong creative winter. It fucking pisses me off that I can't seem to organize my thoughts and write even one fucking paragraph. I used to be able to write whole novels in a short period of time but now I agonize over each sentence and it drives me nuts to the core. I hate this.

Weird! They've got this category called Writer's Block where you can just post random shit. I like it. I'm gonna choose the second one I saw: "What's the best birthday present you ever received?" I wouldn't call it a birthday present per se, but my parents bought me my first car, used, from my dad's work. I had no idea that they were gonna do it and it was absolutely amazing. It was a 1985 Ford LTD. White exterior, burgundy interior, 4 door, great sound system by the time I was done with it....

What are your favorite and least favorite words? Any reasons why? Yesterday I decided that "faux" was my favorite word. It sounds so much better than fake and it gets the point across better since it adds a bit of a snotty quality that's actually pretty comical when calling something fake. So today I thought it was pretty funny and appropriate for ljs "writer's block" suggestion to be about favorite words.
