Writing scenes at a time

   Hey, how are you guys doing?
   Today I'm going to talk about writing different scenes of a book/story along with the main one you're writing about.
   I'm writing about Jessica and she's a teenager that goes through a medicine cabinet to a magic world. Well when I get bored with the main project I go on to write about other things. I'll write about the first time she's met this man that somehow she's met before. I'll write about the day she goes to the fortune teller to get her career read, and so on.
   I've learned to keep pretty good organization when it comes to my writing. Thanks to a subject in school I've learned how to keep my precious writing in one nice and neat little folder. (I feel stupid telling you that I didn't know how to make a new folder until a little while ago. But I've found it to be very useful.)
   Thinking about it I think I like to write the different scenes out more than I do the main storyline. Do you know how Stephenie Meyer (Twilight Saga) got her idea for Twilight? She had a dream about a boy and a girl talking in the meadow (Chapter 13) she wrote from there on and then once she finished she returned back and did the beginning. Here's the link for you to find more about it.
  Anyway I feel like it's a really freeing idea to write about something that is maybe more interesting than your main writing.

Reference Site's anyone?

   Hello all you writer's page fanatics. Now I might start doing some things to help writing. I don't know if you would want to take it from me since I'm not a published author and I have no idea what a synopsis nor do I have a clue about how to write a query letter. All I need is to give you a few references. That doesn't make me the most reliable source but at least you'll know that I'm going to other authors for advice and that I follow them for tips about writing.

Music While Writing

   Like many people I like to listen to music. I don't know if you're the same way but I like to listen to it while writing. I started out listening to things on YouTube.com and playlist.com mostly things that you would listen to in the car, the songs you sing in the shower. Well that worked until I started singing along and didn't get any writing done.
   Now I've found classical music very soothing and helps with my acute writer's block. I'll say that most of you have heard of Beethoven, am I right? I know of him and Mozart, they are the ones that we learned the most about in school. Well there's so many different composers that didn't get in the spot light as much as they did. So I'll go and give you a place where you can find some of my composers on my playlist, ok.

   This link is to my Writing music. It has a few others that I can't name off the top of my head. I've found that I like the classical music and that I hope to get more one there.
   (Warning the first two may not play I have made a complaint about it to the playlist people but other than that it should be fine.)

Short Stories

   Hello. Well this week has surely been weird in my blogging world. I've never really blogged before and I actually want to keep it up.

   Short stories are well. Short. I like most of the ones we read in class, they are well writen and some are by crazy people (it's sort of biased by me.) Ok so Edgar Allen Poe's the Tell Tale heart is a very creepy story, but I like it. It's the one that I know and I will probably remember because it creeped me out so.
   I would like to try to write a short story. During the NextGen confrence I learned that sometimes before you write a novel it's good to write a short story. This is because the publisher that is interested in publishing your novel has already seen that someone has taken a chance with you. They see that someone was interested and they aren't taking that big dive into the unknown.
   I don't yet have an idea for a short story but I hope to get one soon and get it published in a magazine so I can make a confident dive into novel world as well.

Poetry

  Yes I love to write poetry. Though I had a paper with my favorite on it sadly I lost it. But that isn't why I want to talk about poetry. You know how I felt before I took up something like poetry. I felt down, depressed and feeling sad a lot.
  I think that anyone can find that poetry does a lot of help. I can get inspired just by listening to the popular girls at school talking about boys and how much they loved their ex's. Maybe I can get inspired by listening to my mom talk about how much the cat is a 'pain in her butt.' Poetry is a sense of calm when your finished. It's a calm that can help with whatever your writing.
  My favorite type of poetry is free style. No rules to follow. I like haikus and have a lot of fun trying to follow the rules with them. I don't have a favorite poem or a favorite author but I have to say that Walt Whitman is the only on besides Emily Dickinson. If you would like to learn more about my poetry send me a comment and I'll have something up along the lines of what I write.

Writing all my life.

  I used to write shorts when I was a kid. I wrote about Japan princesses, Irish princesses. All of these stories had something in common. The princess fell in love with a commoner. Both of the ones I remember but both have been lost. Our computer crashed and so the stories were lost.
  Now I'm more into the dream of writing a big story. Something huge, a novel. I've had a lot of good ideas it's just that I've never made them into reality. One was with a werewolf that had a lame leg. One was that a guy was immortal and wanted to join the marines while his girlfriend was clueless. Now I have a few that are under way I've been still tweaking them while writing. (Thanks to NextGen I have a fresh view of writing.)
  Thank you for reading
