So this is my first ramblings in this place.
I remember having a blog on myspace and it was really nice having and outlet for my thoughts that my friends or other people could read. I don't really do the myspace thing anymore, so i thought something else was needed.
OK!
I'm trying to write a book- it's been my dream to publish a book and have it not trashed by critics for years now. Ever since I was about 14 or so. The worst part is trying to get good ideas. Mike (my husband) says I have an amazing imagination since i'm always thinking of stories, but I never think any of my ideas are good or original or would be liked by anyone but me. I guess i'll never know until i try to publish.
I would like to write a fantasy/sci fi book that reaches beyond the genre. haha, i just read that back to myself and wow...who doesn't want their book to reach beyond their perceived genre? haha...wow. ok...
I got a really good idea for a book about a week or two ago- it was one of my dreams i had. I have really vivid, crazy dreams, but this one was even more detailed than usual because it followed a linear timeline and made sense. Cuz obviously most dreams don't make too much sense and hardly ever follow any kind of linear anything. So the fact that this one not only made sense but went in order from beginning to end makes this dream very different. I get my best ideas from dreams. After the idea comes, then i can play with it and brainstorm about what should happen and the little details are so much easier.
So that's one of my big goals...write and publish a book...or more. I don't know how much time i'll have once I start Cal, I hear it consumes all your time. Though since i'm a theater major I'm thinking it won't as time consuming as other majors. Of course i just mean homework wise...now that i think about it i think it will actually be very time consuming. I don't think i'll see mike all that much. :( sad times! I'll have rehearsals, tech crew, my senior honor project (i'm writing and directing a one act...yea), homework and papers and projects from classes...oh man. I eat my words!
The amazing thing about Cal is that it opens the doors to Ivy league colleges and (dare I say it) Julliard. Mike keeps bringing Julliard up, saying we're going to go there. I still think he's kidding...but i don't think he is. I gotta get my confidence up. I might be able to do it...I don't know if I'm good enough (yet) but maybe when I audition in years to come.
FYI- I am very self deprecating. But who isn't? Anyone know that book "The Five Languages of Love" ? Yea, i know...but after i got married people kept telling we needed to figure out our individual love language...so we did. I was totally in the dark about what i was, but Mike knew instantly what I was. My primary love language is Words of Affirmation. I never, ever knew that about myself! And i never would have guessed! But it's true...anyways, my point is that without people telling me good things about me, i'll never think it or know it or believe it. terrible, i know.
Well, this is my blog so i'm allowed to talk about myself, right? right!
Ok, get your pets spayed or neutered! DO IT! And never buy a pet online and research, research, RESEARCH!
