The Reason I Write

"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe."
~Niel Gaiman~

A Writing Update and a Tag

Just thought I should let you all know that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND HATE WRITING!!!!!!!!! I am finally giving my characters some attention and guess what happened, my story has been doing backflips and somersaults in my absence and now I have to try to untangle what they have done. *weary sigh* I am afraid things will never be the same.


And now for a tag, since it has been so long since I did one.

Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.
"As soon as I clapped eyes on the little fellow bobbing and puffing on the mat, I had my doubts. He looks more like a grocer than a burglar." The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien

Without looking, guess what time it is:
Probably about 10:30 pm


Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?

If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?
A laptop so that I can write in comfort, and books... then I might set up a cozy "writers retreat" place where I can get away from my noisy house and write, complete with comfy couches, bookshelves, a teapot, and a computer charger.


Tell me something about you that I don't know:
 I am writing a story that is kind of like The Guardians of Ga'Hool in that all of the characters are birds, except instead of owls like that has, mine are parrots.
