Catching Up

Sometimes I feel like I've fallen off the face of the planet and landed in a sea of English literature, essays, tests, and the clothes that are now scattered all over my room.  I'm so tired all the time, and yet, here I am at midnight, writing this blog post because now my mind decided it wanted to be active.

I love being a college student.  I love learning, and reading, and writing.  But it's turning me into a zombie.  I feel like all I do is go to class, go to work, commute back and forth, and sleep.  Sometimes, there is occasional eating meals and movie watching involved.  My social life is pretty non-existent except for what I do with Hannah and a few other friends.

So, I'm thinking it's time to make some changes.

And I'm really glad it's Halloween.  You'll see some pictures of my costume after tomorrow.

Oh, and I've started a "creative" blog.  I'm just posting random things I've written and some things that inspire me to keep writing on a regular basis.  If you want, you can check it out, just click here.  Just a warning, it might become private soon.

Writing Inspiration from Neil Gaiman


Start telling the stories that only you can tell, because there’ll always be better writers than you and there’ll always be smarter writers than you. There will always be people who are much better at doing this or doing that - but you are the only you.
Tarantino - you can criticize everything that Quentin does - but nobody writes Tarantino stuff like Tarantino. He is the best Tarantino writer there is, and that was actually the thing that people responded to - they’re going ‘this is an individual writing with his own point of view’.
There are better writers than me out there, there are smarter writers, there are people who can plot better - there are all those kinds of things, but there’s nobody who can write a Neil Gaiman story like I can.
